The Carver Room

Your Go-To Spot to Unwind, Connect & Enjoy the Best of Club Life

Our member bar, the Carver Room is the buzzing heart of the Vancouver Rowing Club—a place to sip, savour, and settle in with great company. From the moment you walk in, there’s a sense of energy and familiarity that makes it easy to feel at home. Whether you’re dropping by for a quick drink or settling in for the evening, it’s a space where members naturally come together to connect, unwind, and enjoy everything the club has to offer.

It’s the place where the day’s stories are shared—celebrating a hard-fought winon the pitch, reliving a great row, or debating race tactics and strategy with crew mates. You’ll find a lively mix of conversation, laughter, and camaraderie at every table, with members from across the club coming together in one welcoming space. And when the sun is out, our “best-kept-secret” patio becomes the perfect escape—tucked away, relaxed, and offering one of the most enjoyable waterfront settings in the city.

The Carver Room is also where the club’s social life truly shines. With a full lineup of events throughout the year, there’s always something to look forward to. Test your knowledge at trivia night, bring your guitar and join in for music night, enjoy a night of laughs at comedy night or just chilling on the patio with food and friends. Our fantastic staff keep things running smoothly and add to the warm, friendly atmosphere that makes the space so special. Whether you come for the events, the people, or just a great place to relax, the Carver Room is where the VRC community comes alive.

The Carver Room is open throughout the week, with extended hours on weekends to make the most of your time at the club:

  • Monday: Closed
  • Tuesday – Friday: 5:00pm – 10:00pm
  • Saturday: 1:00pm – 10:00pm
  • Sunday: 1:00pm – 9:00pm

You’ll find the Carver Room on the west side of the lower (seawall) level of the clubhouse. Just make your way toward the patio—and you’re there.

From casual bites to hearty favourites, the Carver Room menu is made for sharing, relaxing, and enjoying with friends—with something for every taste and craving.
