It is a hub for creativity and innovation, attracting artists, entrepreneurs, and young professionals from all over the city.
Dog Friendly Patios are the perfect place to unwind.
One of the things that make Mount Pleasant stand out is its dog-friendly environment, with several breweries that welcome your furry friends. Below, I am going to highlight three of my favourite dog-friendly spots in Mount Pleasant to explore.

What sets Faculty Brewing Co. apart from other breweries in Vancouver is its dedication to education.

In addition to its great beer, Faculty Brewing Co. also serves up delicious snacks to pair with your pint. The brewery doesn't have a full kitchen, but you can order tasty treats like cheese and charcuterie boards, soft pretzels, and nuts to snack on while you enjoy your beer. And don’t think they forgot about your fluffy friend. The staff is eager to bring your dog a little snack of their own and give them lots of pets in the process.
