(604) 681-2114
Categories:

Last couple times I've been here there were multiple fights each time. They were quickly handled by the bouncers, but that kind of kills the mood.
No gangstaz please.

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
I really love the layout of this club. I can't think of any other granville bar let alone Vancouver bar that has this much seating inside that isn't set aside as reserved tables.
I didn't find any pretentiousness at the front, but I was there early…More »
3. Fortune Sound Club
Vancouver, BC V6A 1T6
(604) 569-1758
Categories:
Venues & Event Spaces,
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
Cool crowd and cool staff. No douche factor. Rocking sound system. Unfortunately the location is not near the nicest areas of town.
Haven't been to a non-show night, so I can't speculate on if it's like that every night.

Dance Clubs,

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Brittany's description is still pretty accurate of this place.
When it re-opened it was a little more 'gangsta' but it seems to have simmered down a little.
Sometimes they will have cheap/free tickets from promoter girls on Granville on nights they…More »
5. The Winking Judge Pub
Five words got me in here pretty easily:
"They have a pool table"
It was good to hang somewhere on the weekend to a bar that wasn't overcrowded and the music was so loud you couldn't have a conversation.
The staff were actually quite friendly and…More »
6. Barcelona Ultra Lounge

Categories:

Cover is on the higher end, and lines are on the longer size on the weekends.
Most of the staff is pretty cool and chill.
Thursdays should be a good night this summer, "Dance Mix '95" - $10 cover and $3.95 high-balls.
Crowd is a wide mix but seem to be…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Very friendly staff. One of my more favorite bars right now. A bit sad they lost one of their pool tables.
I did have a bad experience with a friend where they lost her credit card, but they seemed apologetic enough and tried to resolve things by…More »

Been by a couple times more. Staff is pretty cool and drink prices are still cheap, but Thursday-Friday were kind of dead. Saturday was busy.

9. Shark Club Bar & Grill
Wasn't especially impressed by the quality of the food, though the portions were decent sized.
Both things I tried (asian noodle salad and spinach-type dip) I wouldn't order again.
They have some cool things that set them apart from a regular sports…More »
10. Celebrities Nightclub
Vancouver, BC V6E 1M3
(604) 681-6180
Category:
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
I'm not sure where I stand about this Club.
The lines get so long they reach "critical mass" easily where if you aren't in the first 50% of the line you won't get in because of guest list / budgers / friends of bouncers.
The crowd is a complete mix of…More »

Categories:
Bars,
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
They have a couple of cool staff here but there are a several unforgivable serious issues that I can't overlook.
The coat check is $5, at the back of the club, and too much for one poor girl to handle on a busy weekend night. It took at least half an…More »
12. Library Square Public House
Vancouver, BC V6B 6B4
(604) 633-9644
Categories:
Pubs,
Sports Bars,
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Have to give a thumbs down to Library Square for falling into the Olympics price grab:
20% Auto-gratuity added to my bill sitting at the bar, not in a group, not with a server, and I wasn't told about it when handed the bill.
I understand why it…More »

13. Tunnel Nightclub
Not really sure what kind of experience I was supposed to be getting for the cover I paid (which I think was $16 or $18). The place wasn't very full and there wasn't anything necessarily BAD, just there are so many other places to go in Vancouver…More »
14. The Forum Sports Bar
Vancouver, BC V6Z 0B4
(604) 605-1163
Category:
Sports Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Nothing says ball-a like being chased after by a waitress to pay your one drink bill even though you paid her 10 minutes before. That's how I roll.
Came on a Friday to check it out and instead found a door girl who seemed to hate her life and enough…More »
15. Caprice Night Club
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L3
(604) 681-2114
Category:
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Annoying line-up issues sometimes: inflate lineup and let no one in before 10, guest list only before time xxx, any doorperson's cousin's barber's dog walker's friend let in past the lineup.
Crowd is not very friendly. Last night there were 6…More »

This is Vancouver's newest legal after hours open for a couple weeks now. They say they are open until 8am.
Checked this out Sat at around 3:45 or so, with nothing to do and no plans to sleep.
Cover is normally $30, but they may make different offers…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
The food was good... however:
It took at least 30 minutes to arrive.. (pasta with chicken)
I felt like I was intruding when I was asked to pay a cover charge to eat dinner more than an hour before a salsa night starts. I want to give you my money,…More »

The only experience I've had is being manhandled trying to exit via the front door and asked to re-enter and exit via the side door. When there was no one in the lineup at the front except the bouncer...... wat
