The new GoodCo. bar in Steveston is finally opening today, after much anticipation.
Formerly known as Colony Bars, the chain had teased community members with its Bayview Street location on Imperial Landing since the fall of 2019, as reported previously by The Richmond News.
Social media was abuzz with excitement when signage for the bar was first spotted in 2020, but there was no commitment to an opening date.
It was finally announced earlier this year that the rebranded bar would open on June 20, but it ultimately got pushed back to July.
And GoodCo. has made it, by the skin of its teeth; doors opened July 29.
Colony began in Vancouver in Kitsilano, and has expanded to add locations on Main Street in Mount Pleasant. In Sept. 2018 they opened their "Northwoods" outpost in North Vancouver, and in 2019 launched in Vancouver's Granville Entertainment District. In June 2022, Colony revealed a name and branding change to GoodCo.
The chain is known for its upscale sports bar vibe, craft beers on tap, and approachable menu.
GoodCo. in Richmond is open from 11:30 a.m. to midnight from Monday to Friday and 10 a.m. to midnight on Saturday and Sunday. It can seat 250 patrons, with a year-round patio that seats 80.
GoodCo. Steveston is located at 4020 Bayview St.
