Pax Romana Tapas Bar

For decades, Pax Romana has anchored the cultural landscape of Commercial Drive, serving as an enduring link to the neighborhood’s deep-seated Italian roots.

Founded as a classic social retreat, it has transformed into a local mainstay where the scent of bold espresso meets the historic spirit of East Vancouver.

This establishment remains a vital piece of the area’s identity, preserving the vintage character that has greeted neighbors and newcomers for generations.

Focused on precision-pulled Italian roasts, hand-churned gelato, and curated deli staples, the shop delivers an unwavering taste of the Old World.

Every offering—from a morning ristretto to a selection of imported pantry goods—upholds a standard of craftsmanship that honors the heritage of “The Drive.”

It stands as a timeless meeting point where quality service and historical significance converge in every cup.
