Gastown

gastown

As Vancouver celebrates our 125th Anniversary, there is no better place to get a sense of where we started from, to where we are today, than historic Gastown.

Vancouver’s roots are in Gastown, where Gassy Jack opened his first saloon back in 1867. Fast-forward to 2011 to what is now one of the city’s most interesting and vibrant sectors that still has its edge, with upscale boutiques, unique stylish restaurants, art galleries and creative new entrepreneurs, which are transforming this dynamic part of town.

Gastown Business Improvement Society
A destination for design and fashion, Gastown is a place where art and commerce merge. It is also a place where people like to hang out at night and is quickly becoming the social hub of Vancouver.
