The Morrissey Pub on Granville Street, in downtown Vancouver, recently underwent a complete redesign from Beyond Beige Interior Design and we got invited to come check it out in a private VIP unveiling party.
Along with a tour of the new space, we sampled some dishes from the Morrissey kitchen and drinks from the bar. For a pub, the food at the Morrissey was really good. They make a great deep fried squid salad.

The end result is simply stunning, with custom touches that are so subtle, you barely noticed them but they add so much to the whole design. I should get Beyond Beige to redesign my home office.
You can check out the redesigned Morrissey at 1227 Granville Street, directly beside the Ramada Inn & Suite Downtown Vancouver. Make sure you try the squid salad.
