Food scene
Some of the most meticulously well-made beer you'll ever have in your life. Their hazy and west-coast IPAs are the best in the city. Food menu is pretty non-existent so plan to eat elsewhere.

A great bar with a fantastic selection of local beer. They offer a full pub and dinner menu too. It is about a 10 minute walk from the Airbnb. The owner also has two other establishments, Brassneck brewing in Mount Pleasant is one of my favourite breweries and the Magnet bar is located in 'crosstown.'

Sightseeing
Stanley Park is a famous tourist destination for good reason. It is beautiful and as a local I'm still discovering new parts of the park. I'd recommend getting there by bike. If you head west on Alexander st. (two blocks North of the bnb) you will get to CRAB park, keep biking past it,(it's a bit of an odd route at first and you will actually go under the Vancouver Convention Center). You will reach a fork and should turn right, that will take you right to the seawall.

If you have a car you may want to head to the Sea to Sky Gondola. Depending on your interests there is a decent hike to the top called the 'Sea to Summit' and you can take the Gondola down, or you can take it both ways. There is a restaurant at the top with incredible views of Howe sound.

If you are traveling with kids you may want to check out Science World, but either way it is on the sea wall and a nice place to walk around. You can catch an aquabus from Science World to Granville Island or Yaletown and its a fun and affordable way to explore the city by water.

If you are interested in taking a day trip to an island off of Vancouver, Bowen is a short ferry ride away and there are some nice hikes and spots to visit on the Island.
You would want to take the number 4 or 7 bus downtown and then catch a 250 express bus on Georgia st. This will take you to Horseshoe bay where you can catch ferries to Bowen, Gibson's or Vancouver Island.

You can catch the number 7 bus from Powell and Jackson and take it all the way to 4th and Alma which will bring you within walking distance of Jericho beach. 7, that said, it would be a very long bus ride so would recommend looking into bike rentals or getting a ride share one of the ways.
I really like this area as you can walk along a path past numerous beaches all the way to West Spanish Banks, where at low tide the sandy beach is very impressive.
