Description

Fluorescent neon glows across retro console setups, vintage controllers, and arcade cabinets at Glitch, taking over the upstairs mezzanine inside East Van Brewing off Venables.

Multi-layer candy fishbowl cocktails, boozy slushie flights, cold draught beers, and daily shot specials fuel casual gaming sessions and competitive pop culture trivia nights.

Screen setups stream live NHL, Whitecaps, and NFL game broadcasts alongside Mario Kart throwdowns, air hockey matches, and old-school multiplayer challenges.

Crisp pinsa pizzas, pressed hot sandwiches, and shareable tavern snacks keep players energized between rounds, all supplied by Barley & Rye in conjunction with East Van Brewing Company.

Interactive gaming nooks, nostalgia-packed memorabilia, and the famously quirky themed washroom create a playful atmosphere for late-night hangouts and group celebrations.

High scores, casual button-mashing, and creative mixology turn nostalgic nineties and naughties culture into an energetic social venue.
