Capones catered to the local warehouse workers with simple pizzas and cold beers. Since then Capones has grown tremendously and has become one of Vancouver’s top destination restaurants. Although Capones has been referred to as Yaletown’s best kept secret the secret seems to be out as Capones is grooving night after night. Call 604-684-7900 in advance to book a table. ]
