Following the news that Bruno Mars visited Vancouver’s Anh and Chi multiple times, Dished has received confirmation that the musician not only stopped by El Guapo for a private meal with a couple of his bandmates, but that he liked it so much he returned with Anderson. Paak for a second meal.
“He came and visited us twice, first on Saturday night after his show on the 17th for a private get-together with him and a few of his band members and again on Sunday, this time joined by his opening act, Anderson .Paak (DJ Pee .Wee),” General Manager Taylor Smith shared with Dished.
He also added that Bruno Mars gifted the team a dozen tickets to one of his concerts as well.
“They were an amazing group, very kind and very friendly,” Smith said.
