Originally built as a floatplane terminal on the Nanaimo inner harbour, Lighthouse Bistro & Pub houses two dining spaces in which diners taste West Coast dishes and feast their eyes on a waterfront view. Dining pairs or coworkers stuck together after a glue mishap venture into the pub, where 6 ounces of AA fire-grilled sirloin steak, sauteed mushrooms, and onions nuzzle amid toasted french bread. Customers can build log cabins for their sandwiches out of a side of fries or upgrade to yam fries, chowder, or a caesar salad for $3. Between bites, diners look out toward the jade-green tidal waters and wonder what it's like to be a fish wondering what's it like to be a human. Though not included in today's Groupon, the pub slakes thirsts with local craft beer and wine.
