The Granville Entertainment District is an area in Downtown Vancouver known for its vast assortment of bars, danceclubs and nightlife. The entertainment district centred on a seven-block stretch of the Granville Mall and immediately surrounding streets.
The Vancouver city council originally came up with the concept of having most of the downtown's drinking establishments centred in one area in the late 1990s. This was in part to help the city rid its image as the "No Fun City".
Prior to the establishment of the current Entertainment District, in what is now the Granville Mall was home to a number of movie theatres, which gave that stretch of Granville Street the nickname "Theatre Row" for many years. The closure of most of those theatres over the years (and the conversion of some of them into their current nightclub forms), however, has left just one cinema complex still operating in the former Theatre Row area as of January 2012.
