Located on Vancouver’s Davie street lies the vibrant Lickerish lounge. Lickerish is the place-to-be for local foodies and hip- hop fanatics.
The two-level lounge has hip-hop written all over it. The red-and-black painted walls feature pictures of famous hip-hop artists from the past to the present: Biggie, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Beyonce and the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson.

The buzz at Lickerish is so inviting, from the good food to the music that they are playing. I listen to hip-hop music so when I discovered a place that combined both food and hip,hop I knew I was hooked.”
