Live music lovers need to get to know this venue. It's such a fun place to catch a live show because it's a fairly small venue with a huge dance floor in front of the stage. I saw The Roots here and the guitarist even came off stage and walked…More »

Holy $6.50 pitchers of beer, Batman! I thought I'd check out a new wine bar downtown but found a slick little spot filled with 20-somthings drinking beer. You'd be crazy to order anything else on Tuesday night when you can get a pitcher for such a…More »

I'm going to go a bold 4-stars for the Granville Room, even though peer pressure from other reviewers would have me hatin' on the place.

Upon my Wednesday night visit to Granville Room, I found it dark, but in an ambient way and the music (of the…More »

It's really easy to find yourself in the Lennox. Mostly because of its convenient location on Granville at Robson, but once you're in it's easy to stay. The bartender makes a mean Caesar with not one, but two spicy beans, so that's always a bonus in…More »

Waking up with a couple mysterious bruises and a headache is getting off easy if you ended up at the Roxy last night. The Roxy never seems to be the desired spot to hit when you go out. It's more the place where you end up after you drank too much at…More »

I headed to The Cellar after a work Christmas party with a girlfriend. We were both dressed up (admittedly overdressed for this young, casual, pick-up spot) and looking for some good dancing that had not played out at the office party. I was…More »

They were definitely going for a feeling with this room's decor choices. Lots of pink, black crystal chandeliers, leather and fur ... it would certainly not be my first choice for setting a mood. But perhaps that's because I'm not trying to seduce…More »

I have a friend who worked here years back, so whenever she comes to Vancouver we end up at the Parrots doing shots at the bar. It's slightly less dodgy than the years that she braved the bar, but still on the dive-y side of things. One of her…More »

"Fulfilling NONE of your furniture needs" reads a sign above the bar at the Furniture Warehouse. I would have to say it fulfilled none of my needs, full stop.

The first downer of this place was that there were no drink specials on a Tuesday night.…More »
