The Cambie Gastown is the best value for money in Vancouver. Centrally located in historic Gastown, this funky hostel is also home to one of the most popular bars and restaurants in the city. In fact, for the past six years we’ve won the prestigious “Best Place for Cheap booze” and “#1 Pub in Vancouver” awards. But don’t take our word for it – come and see for yourself!
The Cambie is one of Vancouver’s oldest original pubs. It all began in 1887, when a new saloon on the bustling Cordova Street quickly established itself as a happening social centre for locals and travelers alike.
When the Prohibition of the 1920s was in full swing, bootleggers floated their forbidden wares through False Creek and delivered them straight to the Cambie storeroom through an extensive network of underground tunnels. The General Store & Bakery adjacent to the pub saw its share of excitement too, as a boxing ring where five cents would buy you hours of ringside entertainment.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Although the hotel got a major facelift in 1997 to camouflage a century of drunken debauchery, the spirit of excitement and fun is still very much alive. And the only way to experience it is right here at the Cambie.
The Cambie Gastown is located in the very heart of Vancouver, a short walk away from all major attractions and the most happening nightlife in town. Our funky rooms are furnished with double-sized bunks, and we serve free continental breakfast in the cozy General Store & Bakery/Café every morning.
