VANCOUVER, BC – Two months after it was first reported, the newest project from Central City Brewers will be opening its doors in Vancouver tomorrow (July 24th).
Red Racer Restaurant – named after the brand used for Central City’s most popular beers – is located 871 Beatty Street, a location well known to local craft beer drinkers due to it once being home to Dix BBQ & Brewery.
Vacant since the closure of Dix in 2010, the 4,800 square foot space retains some elements of its former tenant – including a menu that is focused heavily on smoked barbeque – combined with a new Victorian Steampunk inspired decor.
While initial reports suggested that the new establishment would also be a brewpub, no brewing will be taking place on-site, but the 40 taps will feature a variety of beers brewed at Central City’s Surrey facility, as well as good selection of brands from other craft brewers in the province.
