Central City Brewing Company

Ok, I know that I just said on my posting (of Guildford Station) that I like authentic pub feel. However, I also, do enjoy the more modern brew pubs. They usually do have well thought out menus designed by real chefs. As a matter of fact, on a wine event, I was able to sample their creation of cheesecake sprinkled with bacon (sounds gross but it is does work). Central City Brewing Company is not a bad place to chill after work, plus if you haven't seen the architecture of Surrey SFU by Bing Thom, it is a must see.

Architetural Interest: Woodward's SFU Atrium



If you are in this area, check this out. It's in the atrium. It reminds me a bit of the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Construction is interesting - a lot of steel to hold it up (the top is suspended). Don't jump, though, it shakes a bit when you do.


It is by Gregory Henriquez, the architect responsible for many outstanding Vancouver projects.
