Flying Beaver Bar & Grill

Flying Beaver Bar & Grill is a gay-friendly bar with one of Richmond’s most distinctive settings. The room looks directly onto the water, giving guests clear views of floatplanes taking off and landing throughout the day. The patio and windows look straight onto the Fraser River, so you can watch floatplanes come and go while you settle in with a drink. The bar keeps things simple and reliable: cold beers on tap and a solid cocktail list.

The menu sticks to burgers, pizzas, and comfort dishes, with a couple of strong vegetarian options. In the summer, the patio becomes the go-to spot for plane watchers and anyone who wants a meal by the river.
