Renting a few sheets of curling ice is an option - Marpole has openings.

No escape rooms, no karaoke bars, no arcade bullshit. Something not too loud, something relaxed, somewhere that's easy to socialize for a bunch of 40-somethings (I am the first of my circle to turn 50). Location around Van/Burnaby/NW.

Suggestions?

Irish heather and shebeen still exists they just moved. shebeen's is their upstairs lounge now that you can book for groups rather than a back room .
