FriendsQuarters Event Space. On the edge of Gastown, Vancouver A warm, flexible venue built for connection, creativity, and real work. Whether you're hosting a team off-site, a workshop, a networking event, or an intimate gathering, FriendsQuarters brings together the best of both worlds: the bones of a 1904 heritage building and the energy of a space where people are actively building things. Design & Atmosphere Bright and airy, with natural light, clean white walls, and warm original hardwood floors. Abstract art, spiritual accents, and greenery blend contemporary minimalism with bohemian soul — grounded and focused, without feeling corporate. It doesn't feel like a hotel boardroom. That's the point. "A gem of a space with a wonderful ambience and very friendly and accommodating staff." — David N. Capacity & Layout Easily seats 30-80, depending on configuration, and can host up to 120 for larger standing or reception-style events. The layout is fully flexible — intimate circles, breakout configurations, classroom rows, open floor, or any combination. For events larger than 120, reach out directly — we're happy to talk through what's possible. "It's a great space — super flexible in terms of how you could use it." — Florence C. Included Amenities High-speed Wi-Fi, Bluetooth speakers, warm modern furnishings, and plenty of natural light. Optional add-ons include tables and chairs, a projector and screen, sound equipment, microphones, and more. Please let us know what your event needs. Capture the Day If your team wants to document the event (interviews, a panel, a recap video, or a podcast episode) our on-site media studio is available to run simultaneously. Three Blackmagic 4K cameras, an ATEM live switcher, professional lighting, soundproofing, and a production assistant on hand. Content doesn't have to wait for another day. Location In the heart of Gastown, steps from Waterfront Station and a short walk from Stadium–Chinatown. Street parking on Hastings and surrounding streets, with several private lots nearby. Enter on Hastings and buzz #200. We're on the 2nd floor via stairs, and your host will meet you at the top. "Amazing spacious place!" — Janus L. Come See It It tends to speak for itself. We're happy to host a walkthrough if you're considering a booking — just reach out.
