Who says you can’t patio hop in the Winter? Luckily for us in the West Coast, our seasons are a lot milder than those across the country.
That means, with a covered patio, a couple heaters and maybe a blanket or two—you’ll be more than comfortable dining and drinking at these Winter patios in Vancouver.
