Real Traveler reviews for Gastown

More information on Gastown

This part of downtown got its name from saloon owner 'Gassy Jack' Deighton, who was a rather chatty fellow. In case anyone doubts the true root of the area's title, there is a large statue of this historical figure on Water Street. Cobblestone streets and original architecture, shops, restaurants and bars fill the area. Popular Historic Walking Tours are part of the attractions for all the visitors. Highlights include The Landing, Hill's Native Art, Deluxe Junk Co., Salmagundi West, Sonar and the Irish Heather Bistro.
