The American is a sports and games focused pub located on Main street. The room is an open concept communal atmosphere with several long tables perfect for big groups and parties. We have pinball, skeeball, pool, basketball and football with more arcade games to come. The bar carries a variety of craft beer and cocktails. As of September 2019 Downlow Burgers has been operating The American kitchen. If you like burgers this is the one to try. "Smashing a burger reduces how much the meat is touched, plus we season our meat to order, preserving that flavour and texture as much as possible! [We] are proud to use exclusively local, hormone free, GMO free, grass raised beef that has been aged for a minimum of 40 days by our friends Two Rivers Meats. In North Vancouver. [Our] buns come from baker extraordinaire Livia Sweets located on Commercial drive. Everything else is made in house other than the ketchup. . . Heinz does too good a job and if it ain't broke. . . Planning a special event, we do staff parties, wrap parties, holiday functions, birthdays and more, with a number of catering options available.' "

He got the job, even if he’s s**t at drawing 🤔 … Bradley Fung joins our most favourite heathen Colleen Thompson for the next instalment of Drawing From Memory. Side by side, these two will take turns (how polite) roasting your drawing (not polite). This is a team sport, yes we’re calling it a spot now.

All day happy hour, and free to play.. we’re a cheap date. Reserve your spot now because this night FILLS UP QUICK, and I’d hate for you to miss out on the opportunity to get blasted with your pals and draw funny stuff.

October 5th. 8PM. See you there.

Hold onto your butts cause Drawing From Memory is back this MONDAY with Colleen Thompson and guest host Cass(idy) Furman …. It’s like if you had two drunk art teachers roasting your creations, but instead of art teachers they’re comedians and instead of creations they’re hardly considered drawings and instead of gold stars, they’re giving out prizes (boozy prizes).

It’s FREE. We have HAPPY HOUR all friggen day. Do your future self a solid and reserve your spot. Link in bio and in the stories.

See ya soon, freaks!
