Free admission to view interesting memorabilia. This is now located at 432 Homer Street, around the corner from the American Backpacker’s Hostel. Funky, fun space to check out if you are near Gas Town. It’s encouraging that this creative legend is not forgotten, with lots of memorabilia and photos to appreciate.

This place has moved from the Union Street location to 432 Homer St just outside of Gastown. There isn’t much to see, but if you’re a Hendrix fan, still a few cool artifacts. Unfortunately, the original location was more interesting as it was his grandma’s fried chicken restaurant on the edge of the now gone Hogan’s Alley. Interestingly, I grew up only a few blocks away from his grandma! I gave it 3 stars only because of the effort to keep this alive.

This place has good intentions at heart. It’s cool that something like this exists in the city, however, it is severely over rated. It is free to do, however, donations are accepted. It is lovely and well kept but really not worth it for tourists to go out of their way to see. It does have rich history with a small room of pics and some records but nothing to write home about in theory.

It is a fun place, this place is privately owed and is basically built out of love. There are many memorabilia around. There is no entrance fee, he only take donations. It is located in Jimi’s grandmother’s fried chicken restaurant. Located not far from Chinatown and the train station.
If I have to pay, then I will not give it 4 stars. None the less, Jimi has his place in the Rock & Roll history and it is a fun place to walk around.
The owner also dress up as a Jimi lookalike (though he is a couple of size bigger) and you can take photo with him or of him!

This is as good as it gets if you’re looking for a free attraction. For some, it may look homemade, but someone really put a lot of thought into it. The copies of handwritten letters, the photos of the family and friends in Vancouver that were related to Jimi Hendrix. This is not only a shrine to Jimi Hendrix, but of his family and Vancouver’s connection to him. The events in this town shaped his early childhood and it’s nice to see that someone put in the time to celebrate that.
Also, the souvenirs are dirt cheap!

My wife and I were on Vacation in Vancouver and I saw the Jimi Hendrix Shrine.
Basically it was a couple guys hanging outside and a shrine outside that described Jimi’s relatives.
I was really disappointed.

The restaurant on this site used to belong to Nora Rose Moore Hendrix, who was Jimi Hendrix’s grandmother. Jimi lived by here for a while while he was in primary school.
There’s a lovely, well-​kept shrine here that needs more respectful attention.
Nora was a leading light in the local black community called «Hogan’s Alley» which used to be here before the viaduct went in.
Near the train station — it was a perfect place for Pullman porters to own a house when working for the railway was one of the few upwardly mobile jobs available to blacks.
Over the years, the community built a strong church here which was a strong attraction to new arrivals in Vancouver
