Wheelies is one of a kind – a custom motorcycle shop with an in house café serving surprisingly good food and drink at reasonable prices. The café menu is small & meticulously crafted: five sandwiches, three sides, and one dessert, and the drink menu similarly small but sophisticated. Wheelies also features live local punk, and rock’n’roll shows on weekends plus brunch to cure your hangover on Sunday mornings. Located in an industrial part of town Wheelies proves that sometimes, in order to find the good stuff, you need to venture off the beaten path.

Some of the most eclectic 24-hour menu selections in Vancouver. Mexican torta sandwiches, Fritou fried chicken, hamburgers, all-day breakfast, Chinese food, and Vietnamese noodle soup just to name a few (with a clientele as varied as the menu offerings). “Duck and cover” cold war décor with pre-fabricated furniture indestructible enough to survive nuclear Armageddon add to the charm. What more can we say except you might need some Rolaids after a visit to Duffin’s, but who cares when the food is as good and invigorating as these fine offerings.

A combination of deep dive bar, carnival haunted house and an episode of Hee Haw. Take a seat at the burlap-covered stump, enjoy a cold draft and munch on free peanuts. Crazy, cheap, unforgetable. GO!
