If you’re a South African living in Vancouver and missing that easy, familiar pub vibe — this one’s for you.

Every third Monday of the month, a bunch of South Africans get together at Sailor Hagar’s for a relaxed, no-frills pub night. No speeches. No awkward name tags. Just good chats, cold drinks, and that feeling of being around people who get it.

It’s exactly what it sounds like: pull in after work, grab something to drink, and chat to other South Africans who understand things like now-now, robots, and why a braai is not just a BBQ. Some nights are busy, some nights are quieter, but the vibe is always easygoing and welcoming.

Whether you’re:

• new to Canada and looking to meet people,

• a long-time expat missing the community, or

• just searching for South African events in Vancouver,

this is an easy place to start.

Bring your partner, a friend, or just yourself. Stay for one drink or stay the whole evening — there’s no pressure. It’s simply about staying connected and making Vancouver feel a little more like home.

The basics:

• What: South African Pub Night

• When: Third Monday of every month

• Where: Sailor Hagar’s, North Vancouver

• Who: South Africans, friends, and anyone keen for a good vibe

Pull in, say howzit, and see where the evening goes.
