Did you know that before Big Bad Johns, the room opened as the first cocktail lounge in BC? Short history here: http://raincoasthistory.blogspot.ca/2007/09/strathcona-room-1954.html

Cascas de amendoim espalhados pelo chão, sutiãs pendurados no teto, antiguidades e excentricidades nas paredes. Esse é o Big Bad John's, autêntico Pub para quem não é fresco e curte boa música .
