Eli Brennan

Eli Brennan is the Co-Founder/COO of Moments Hospitality Collective. His journey in the hospitality industry began at the age of 16 in Duncan, BC, where he started as a dishwasher. He then progressed through various roles in notable Vancouver establishments, including Cardero’s and The Teahouse in Stanley Park. In 2017, Eli and his business partners acquired the historic Water St. Café in Gastown, revitalizing it and introducing the 2nd Floor Gastown, a vibrant live music venue. Their ventures have since expanded to include the Qualicum Beach Café, Nanoose Bay Café, Deez Bar & Grill, and the soon-to-open Greenview Taphouse in Nanoose Bay. Eli is deeply committed to community engagement and prioritizes serving locally sourced BC wines, spirits, and cuisine. As a father of three, he values creating welcoming environments that foster genuine connections, exceptional service, and lasting memories for both the team and their guests. 

With humbleness and heartfelt gratitude, Eli acknowledges all those who have been a part of this rewarding, challenging, and exciting hospitality journey through their invaluable mentorship and collaboration.
