Budget Inn Patricia Hotel

Although currently known as Pat's Pub and Brewhouse, the pub was originally known as The Patricia Café. Established in 1914 The Patricia Café was one of Vancouver's jazz hotspots at the time hosting many of the genre’s influential musicians. Most notable is Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton who at the age of 28 made Vancouver his home during August 1919 thru to January 1921. During his time in Vancouver "Jelly Roll" Morton performed in the Patricia Café as well as roomed in the Patricia Hotel.
