Officially the West End is the area west of Burrard Street, east of Lost Lagoon and south of West Georgia Street, though many residents use the name for everything from Burrard to Stanley Park.1 In 2016 it had 47,200 residents on 1.98 km², about 23,800 people per square kilometer.1

Three streets carry its cafés. Robson Street was once called Robsonstrasse for the German shops and schnitzel houses that arrived after the war; its shopping blocks now run from Burrard to Jervis.1 Denman Street sits close to Stanley Park, and Davie Village, the city's gay village, centers on Davie Street between Burrard and Bute.1 The West End has more late cafés than any other part of the city.

Local tip: When Bubble World on Robson Street closes at 02:00, Breka's two West End cafés at 818 Bute Street and 821 Denman Street are still open; both run 24 hours a day.5
