The Storm Crow Tavern opened its doors in Vancouver in 2012 and was soon dubbed "the nerdiest bar in Canada" by the National Post. A sort of "sports bar for geeks," featuring board and card games, nonstop sci-fi and fantasy on the bigscreen TV, and a menu packed with obscure geek trivia, the Storm Crow became an infamous fixture in East Vancouver. The Storm Crow Alehouse extended its dominion to t
he West Side in 2016, offering an even bigger and wilder space (and an assortment of gigantic alien heads mounted on the walls). Situated in a spectacular Victorian on 580 Church St (at Wellesley). It's the biggest and most insane of the three locations, with secret doors, alternate-reality hunting salons, post-apocalyptic lounges and mad scientist cocktail bars.
