Hi Kristin,

One of my favourite downtown pubs is the Railway Club (near Dunsmuir/Seymour) web : www.therailwayclub.com/

By the way I run a British Expat group in Vancouver and we hold a main together every month. The last event was at the Elephant & Castle downtown - we had around 80 people show up for that one. I will schedule another event soon. Check us out here: /www.meetup.com/BritishExpat/

Cheers!
Steve
