"I find Batch charmingly DIY: a makeshift waterfront bar at Plaza of Nations that feels like a chic urban campsite in winter (dancing fires) and a sun-fest in summer when the tent sides are rolled up. With picnic tables, couches, live music, local craft beer and wine, and one of the city’s best non-alcoholic selections, Batch recently expanded to Kitsilano Beach for beachside views and a similar relaxed vibe." - Sara Harowitz
