Review from Brittany W.
North Vancouver, BC
7/25/2011
One of the busiest fun-loving nightclubs in the heart of downtown Victoria's nightlife scene with DJs spinning Top 40 remixes and house music on weekends - lots of friendly faces and good-lookin' peeps who are just looking to have a good night out!
The Crowd. Mid-to-late twenties; primarily fun-loving white party people with some multicultural influences (like me!), binge-drinkers, sports teams, and during the year, lots of UVIC students. Ratio: 60/40 guys to girls.
I've been quite a few times in the past few years - my club of choice when I come to Vic. It's always solid on weekends and you can count on a good time.
What's more:
- Weekends: $12 cover; always packed
- Drinks: $5-7
- You can get stamped early and come back later!
- Smoke pit downstairs
- Darcy's Pub is downstairs (separate entry; go here if you like live music)

History
Established in 2003
Before we were Upstairs Cabaret in 2003 we were known as Harpos. Harpos today still brings back memories of the days when Pearl Jam and BB King played this room. Harpos had a long run at a live music only bar where many of todays popular bands and artists played some of their first gigs.
After Harpos closed down the club reopened for a short time under another name before being rebranded into Upstairs Cabaret. Upstairs Cabaret has been known for throwing the best weekend dance parties every Friday and Saturday as well as hosting events such as Rifflandia, Victoria Jazz Festival and Victoria Ska Festival Sunday - Thursday.
The perfect multi level room gives great view of our stage durring live shows or beautiful Victoria Harbor vistas through our large west facing windows.
