Farewell to a Local Landmark: Lynn Valley’s Beloved Black Bear Pub Bids Goodbye in November
Lynn Valley’s iconic Black Bear Pub will be closing down this year. In a social media post, the black bear pub announced it’s closing down on November 23.
“I would like to thank all the Black Bear guests, community, and the staff for your support, loyalty and hard work over the last 26 years,” said Ron Slinger, the pub’s owner.
District of North Vancouver has received an application to redevelop the pub’s site for a multi-unit development that includes 98 rental apartments and approximately 12,000 square feet of commercial space in a six-storey building with parking for 108 vehicles in an underground parkade.
Bosa, which has applied to redevelop the site, told the North Shore Daily Post they are exploring the possibilty of keeping the pub in the new development.
And our authorites are crying about horrific traffic, do not they? Money, greed and the lack of wisdom are the topics of these days
Absolutely dreadful. Already no parking in Lynn valley mall.
Pathetic planning The North Shore is a giant parking lot already. I have a number of friends who avoid the area due to the traffic. I live in Horseshoe Bay and generally go to Squamish for shopping these days. North Van is a mess and it just keeps getting worse.
I used to shop and enjoy the ambiance of what was Lynn Valley Mall !
We are not metro town and do not view our shopping experiences the same way as highly
dense areas . The Black Bear pub is an iconic piece of Lynn Valley – as is . Not subject to further
densification .
Good example of how not to develop an area!
That is very sad news. The last thing Lynn Valley needs is more density. They are turning us into Metrotown #2. Enough is enough! It’s all about the money. The Black Bear is our hidden gem that we all enjoy. Good food and great staff. Leave us alone!!
Little Iran.
Poorly veiled racism, “Joe”.
Well, this is one reason I left after living in LV for 53 years ! I feel privileged to have used the LV backwoods as my training ground on a daily basis for running & cycling from 1979 -2016. With high rises brings too many people which leads to erosion of the wilderness.
