Review from Edward L.
Easy lounge music, great selection of tasty cocktails and beer, hotel-grade service (not to be unexpected), and a GREAT view of the new Convention Centre and Burrard Inlet. The pianist is actually quite good for a lounge player, covering classics such as the Beatles and Roy Orbison.
Great place to bring a date or a business partner, but don't take my word for it.
Prices within reason for a 5-star hotel (about $8 for a beer, and $10.50 for a cocktail). They do serve food as well but I've never tried. When you come for drinks, they give you a little dish of munchies.
I've always gone here wearing casual, but if you were to wear semi-formal, you'd fit right in without a problem.
I've probably had 8 different cocktails here. Some people may not like this, but the martinis here are STRONG, at 2.5 oz. They don't skimp here. It's good for getting people drunk.. oh wait, did I say that out loud?
This is the place to be if you want to impress. -

Just beyond the cascading waterfall on the 3rd floor of the Pan Pacific Hotel, this corner lounge offers stunning views of Coal Harbour and Stanley Park, set against the background of the coastal mountains. Turning your gaze towards your left, you'll spy the Vancouver Convention Center just one "pier" over, and on your right is a fine view of the Canada Place sails.
We happened to stop by on a Saturday evening, and it was simply lovely. Really, really lovely. I was with a great group of people and we were chatting the eve away, completely engrossed in conversation. No doubt, the setting certainly helped - comfortable chairs and sofas, tasty appetizers and drinks. A short while later, the entertainment for the evening started off with a gentleman at the piano, and later by opera singers in the adjacent cafe! The ambience exuded an upscale 'mellow' feel. Definitely a relaxing place to unwind in the presence of pleasant company.Listed in: April Challenge: the Underdog

Was supposed to be getting a Travelzoo dinner deal here (a 3 course prix fixe for $45, for two), but in a turn of events... didn't make it on time (yeah yeah.. I had a few months... so chalk it up to me being lazy or disorganized... or both) ;) so we ended up with a $45 voucher towards a meal.
It was the night before the night before xmas... and all through the hotel... hardly any one was stirring... but that suited the bill. ;)
We had just eaten a while ago... so we weren't super hungry... so we just ordered a main, and a shared desert... and some tea at the end... it was enough.
I had a Korean kalbi-style flat iron steak, and Junko had the "Treasures of the Sea" tempura plate. My steak was done perfectly... and was quite tasty with the notes of korean spices. The side of rice with kimchi was nice too. Junko's seafood platter was a little heavy... she was hoping for a more Japanese presentation of it with a dipping broth... but it was more a plate of fried fish and shrimp with fries on the side. Was heavy.... but not overly so... but didn't fit her expectations. The desert was reasonably priced, but upon getting it (and the server did let us know it wasn't all that big) we saw why it had the price it did.... still, it was a good size for the end of the meal.... it was a chocolate and grand marinier treat.
The tea was pretty good (we had a green tea). It was from "T", but as with most teas in bags... it tasted a little like the paper of the bag, and definitely wasn't whole leaf tea.
Still... a very good meal, with great service, and great presentation. -

I won a gift certificate for here last summer and just used it. Sat down to a nice view of the harbor in cushy chairs. We ordered two beers, hubs had the beef burger and I had the clubhouse and salad. All the food was tasty, and the tea/coffee at the end was nice too. The service here was really good! Probably the best I've had in years, including expensive restaurants. Overall I liked the view, service, atmosphere and food.

Food: 4*
I had a small side of Seafood Chowder & the Soya Marinated Queen Charlotte Sablefish. The sablefish came with shiso infused quinoa. The soup was alright but the fish was dee-licious. And, during the holidays they have themed cocktails with names such as Holly Berry, Peppermint Patti & my favorite - Dirty Snowball :) I had the Holly Berry which pretty much just tasted like a cosmo but it was fairly strong so I can't complain.
Ambiance: 4*
Bright sweeping windows & you get a beautiful view of Coal Harbour & the new convention centre!
Service: 4.5*
Excellent! As can be expected at such a hotel. Our waitress was very attentive and made very good suggestions. She was the one who convinced us to get the drinks which we are all thankful for!
Price: 3*
Holiday cocktails - $9.95; Sablefish - $27. Yea it's expensive. But worth it. -

This spot is located inside the Pan Pacific Hotel on the waterfront. I've stayed at the hotel before and it was a great experience, but nobody has reviewed the lounge here
A friend and I went to Cascades on a Saturday night - grabbed a couple comfy chairs overlooking the waterfront and near the piano player.
We stayed for an hour and some and the experience was fantastic. I need to go back for another round and this time with food.
Why was it so great?
1. Comfortable Chairs
2. Very quick courteous service
3. Amazing views
4. Stellar music - the piano player was asking for requests from us really often which was fantastic
5. Stronger drinks (1.25oz of liquor vs. normal 1oz), at a minimal premium
6. Really laid back atmosphere
Worth a trip for sure.Listed in: Essential VanCity +…

I never knew about the lounge inside the pan pacific until last week!! Incredible live background music, incredible view of the new convention center, lions gate bridge, mountains, and all things beautiful in Vancouver. Great place to take a date or visitors. The drinks are good - on the pricey side but you get what you pay for. Big selection of tea!
Did I mention I really enjoyed the music? Whenever someone sings coldplay songs, I'm forever happy :)
Not five star because we waited a while before anybody came to take our order. However with good company, conversations and views, it wasn't a bad thing. -

The most gorgeous and relaxing views of the city. Everything is incredibly tasty but with a super high price point. The one time I was here was with my parents who paid and it's definitely more of a 40 year old and above kind of hang out but wow, if I had the cash I would be there all the time. Such a nice relaxing spot.
