Before Vancouver changed forever, there was The Odyssey.

“The O” wasn’t just a gay bar — it was where identities were formed, legends were born, and community came alive.

In this first episode of The O Files, I sit down with DJ Drew, a Davie Street staple and resident DJ for 15 years. We talk about how The O found us, Drew’s start behind the decks, Lady Gaga stopping by, the journey into sobriety, and what it felt like to play the final night before the doors closed.

If you have memories of The Odyssey, I want to hear them. This series belongs to everyone who ever danced there.
