Guide: 12 places in Vancouver to get FREE stuff on your birthday

We’ve never been the type to seek out all the free birthday deals to get in Vancouver. Instead, we don’t even bother bringing our wallets with us to dinner, and then we nudge one of our friends to pay for us at the end. If you’d rather not annoy your friends on a yearly basis (like us), then this list is for you.

Here are some of the best free birthday deals in Vancouver. And a couple buy-one-get-one type things, as well.

Drinks

DAVIDsTEA – Free Drink

Thirsty? Not on your B-Day! David’s Tea will hook you up with a free drink when you stop into one of their locations, as long as you’re a ‘Frequent Steeper’.

De Dutch- Free Pannekoek

De Dutch doesn’t only offer you a free sweet or savoury Dutch pancake on your birthday. Oh no, because you have to be a member of ‘De Club’, which is by far the coolest sounding name on this list.

The Keg – Billy Miner Pie

Mocha, fudge, and almonds? The Keg’s Billy Miner Pie is stupid good. Fun fact, Billy Miner was Canada’s first train car robber, considered the ‘Robin Hood’ of his time. There, this list is just as educational as it is delish.

Boston Pizza

While you’ve got to be a member of ‘MyBP’, you will get treated to a free dessert on your birthday. Basically, all of these spots are swapping free food for people signing up to their rewards programs. Well, fair enough.

Cypress Mountain- Free lift ticket

Quite possibly the best deal on this list, and it only works for those born during the ski season. Show your ID at the ticket counter and boom! Free lift ticket. Time to get some night skiing in, we guess.
