They host everything from stand-up to drag shows, but no matter what you’re watching, you’ll always be treated with the best Vancouver and Canada has to offer with its talented cast of performers.

Arcades
Are you and your date the competitive types? Then it’s time to level up date night at The Rec Room Granville. This massive adult playground brings together arcade games, virtual reality, live entertainment, and a full restaurant and bar—all under one roof.

Theatre
For lovers of theatre, watching a play is better than seeing a movie. There’s plenty of shows around Metro Vancouver this fall, with plenty of genres catering to every taste. But if you’re looking for one that everyone is guaranteed to adore, Gateway Theatre’s ANNIE is a fantastic show that is perfect for all audiences. It tells the classic tale of Annie, a plucky and positive orphan who charms everyone she meets with that can-do attitude of hers. It’s fun, adventurous, and the best show to keep all that seasonal depression away with ANNIE‘s cheery mood.
Location: 6500 Gilbert Road, Richmond.
Novelty Dining
There’s nothing more magical than a fall date inside a romantic dome. The Westin Bayshore’s H Tasting Lounge is bringing back their magical Winterlust dome dining experience in the heart of Coal Harbour this November to December. The re-imagined private dining experience allows guests to eat outdoors while staying warm and enjoying panoramic views overlooking Stanley Park and onto the North Shore.

Escape Rooms
Metro Vancouver is full of amazing escape rooms that will have you scratching your head and cheering when you finally figure out the puzzles. While it’s awesome when or if you beat it, escape rooms are a fantastic experience for folks who like to get their brains working into overdrive. Put two puzzle-enjoyers into a locked room and this becomes the ultimate rainy-day date.
