  1. A

    Dinghy Dock Floating Pub

    The name is no lie; this popular pub and restaurant combo floats offshore from Protection Island. See Nanaimo from the outside (especially pretty at night), rub shoulders with some salty locals and knock back a few malty brews. The menu doesn't stretch far beyond standard pub fare but there's live music on weekends. To access the pub, take a 10-minute ferry ride from the harbor.

    Old City Station Pub

    A convivial recent addition to Nanaimo's nightlife options (it used to be the Press Room nightclub), this pub has plenty of finger-licking food options available. The equally healthy beer selection includes a significant proportion of Canadian tipples, including Alexander Keith's and Granville Island brews.

    Red Room Lounge

    A smoking night-time hang-out (with no smoking) for Nanaimo's beautiful people, the Red Room has dark, rich interiors and an epic cocktail menu. Live music or DJs perform Tuesday to Saturday on the tiny stage.
