Go... Oilers?
While converting from a Canucks fan to a temporary oilers fan may not have been the easiest pill to swallow, that doesn't mean Vancouverites are any less invested in this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs. Here are five spots where you can catch Tuesday's game in the Lower Mainland:
With locations in downtown Vancouver, Northwoods, and Steveston, Malone’s has long been a go-to for watching major sports events. Each location features multiple screens, a rotating lineup of local craft beers, and a menu that leans into classic pub fare. The downtown spot, in particular, tends to draw a big hockey crowd, so arriving early is a smart move.

Operating several locations across the city including Granville Street, Kitsilano, Main Street, and North Vancouver, Good Co. Bars are among the most popular venues for big-game nights. The chain is known for lively watch parties with packed rooms, group tables, and themed game night promotions.

Situated in the heart of the West End, Score on Davie is a regular choice for sports fans and weekend crowds alike. During the finals, the bar offers wall-to-wall TV coverage and a rowdy, upbeat atmosphere. While known for its towering Caesar cocktails, Score also puts real effort into being a reliable sports venue. Expect a crowd that’s dialed into the game!

Located just steps from Rogers Arena, the Shark Club is built with sports in mind. The bar includes large-format projection screens and a surround sound system that prioritizes live games. As one of the more established sports bars in the city, it often hosts official viewing parties and offers space for larger groups. That said, it can get busy fast, reservations or early arrival are recommended.

📍 455 Abbott Street, Vancouver
The Pint is a downtown staple known for its no-frills atmosphere, affordable pitchers, and reliable sports coverage. It doesn’t bill itself as a premium viewing venue, but with dozens of screens and a loyal crowd of NHL fans, it’s one of the more consistently busy spots during playoff season. If you're looking for a lively, shoulder-to-shoulder experience with strong game-day energy, The Pint delivers.
