It is highly advised to come early!<\/h2>\n<p>Please note, there is an outdoor streetside patio out front but it closes at 11 PM &#8211; get there *early* and hang out in the beautiful Vancouver sunshine before the entire party moves inside! The pub is actually open all day and there is no cover at all for anyone before 9 PM, so you can literally come any time!<\/p>\n<h2>DJs :<\/h2>\n<p><strong>ALMA BE &amp; SPIKIE PUPPER<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Shower Shows :<\/h2>\n<p><strong>BIG NICK, COLIN MARCUS JACKSON &amp; LYLIA CHOROSIVE<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>If you purchased weekend passes to VFW, we have an advance ticket pick up counter at the Meet &amp; Greet, where you can pick them up.<\/h2>\n<p>It makes your entry to the big events of the weekend MUCH faster if you can arrive with tickets in hand!
