A new restaurant styled as a retro diner called Aureliana is set to move into the former Hastings El Furniture Warehouse location.

As Vancouver's oldest neighbourhood, several things in Gastown could be consider retro.

Adding to that will be Aureliana, a new restaurant. While most incoming restaurants announce they're coming soon, Aureliana is looking at opening in 2025, more than four months away at the earliest.

However, a and an Instagram account give limited clues as to what is coming.

"An embodiment of the vintage 80s & 90s," .

"From neon lights to nostalgic tunes," reads another.

The website simply shows a waitress in 60s diner garb with a hamburger.

What is known is where it'll be going: 156 W Hastings St.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

That was the former home of the Hastings location of El Furniture Warehouse. The Canadian chain closed that after a decade in Gastown.

Founded in Vancouver, the Warehouse Group in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec, along with one spot in Seattle. In 鶹ýӳthey operate two El Furniture Warehouse locations and two branded The Dime.
