BC Place Beer Menu and Prices 2022

I don't drink beer or wine. I occasionally will drink cocktails, but that's about it. Since I frequently visit BC Place, I thought of making a list of the alcohol menu and its prices. This is not a comprehensive list (I'm missing The Thirsty Pigeon) and I will do my best to update it.

Warning: Do not bring alcoholic beverages from outside, or the BC Place security may kick you out of the game.

Limits: Limit of two (2) 12 oz or one (1) 24 oz alcoholic beverages per person.

These list is based on the following articles:
