    Location: 620 Nelson Street, Vancouver, BC

    As the Olympics continue to approach, you can expect the announcement of more and more pop-up shops and bars in Vancouver. Here's the latest: the Irish House. An initiative by Doolin's Irish Pub (and located right next door), the Irish House will not only be an Irish-themed nightspot, but it will also be the official Irish national pavilion for the Olympic Games. That means, unlike many "Irish pubs" in the city, there will actually be quite a few Irish people there!

    Located in a 9000 square foot, 750 capacity tent structure, the Irish House will contain a VIP area, some pub-style seating, a dance floor, and a non-licensed area for booth exhibits styled to resemble a Dublin street scene. From noon to 7 the building will be accessible to all ages but after 7pm it will transform into a 19+ nightspot complete with DJs, cover bands, special events, and plenty o' booze. Just one of the benefits of hosting the Olympics. – R.T.

    The Irish House will run from February 11 to February 28.
