I'm one of those people who can't get anything done in my shoebox-sized domicile that isn't sleeping, watching television, or farting around on the internet, and I assume that there are a bunch of people out there like me. So, Vancouver, where are the best places to get a little writing done?

Personally, I'm partial to coffee shops. There are a million of these around the city, but my favourites are those that serve both coffee and alcohol (two kinds of liquid inspiration!); Calhoun's and Benny's in Kits spring to mind. What are some other good ones?

The End cafe on Commerical Drive serves coffee and alcohol. They also have lots of power outlets and free wifi. I think the wifi is free. It's a short walk from the Broadway/Commercial Skytrain station. I've only been there once, but a lot of people seem to like it.

Waves coffee shops are nice too, but I don't think they serve alcohol.

For NaNoWriMo one year, I spent a couple hours at Steamworks on Cordova street. It wasn't a very busy day and the staff didn't seem to mind that I sat there writing after I finished my meal. I'm sure that changes depending on how busy they are.
