Checkers
About
On Vancouver Island, Checkers operates from 680 Trans-Canada Hwy Unit 3 in Nanaimo, BC V9S 5R1, Canada.
A 4.8 out of 5 rating has been awarded by 16 reviewers, placing it among the better-reviewed spots in Nanaimo. First-time visitors should expect a settled, well-regarded stop rather than an unfamiliar newcomer, given that score. The venue's website, http://www.checkerspf.com/where-to-find-us/, gives directions for anyone arriving by road.
Nanaimo sits on the Trans-Canada route, and the venue's address on that road means it is easy to reach from Victoria, Parksville, Courtenay, Campbell River and Port Alberni. Tofino and Ucluelet lie farther west across the island, while BC Ferries from Vancouver and Victoria bring most travellers over, with floatplane services as another option.
Vancouver Island stretches from temperate rainforest to cooler northern terrain, and its coastal waters supply salmon, crab, mussels and oysters to local tables. The road address keeps Checkers within easy reach of both the ferry terminals and the island's main towns.
