(604) 633-1912
Categories: Wine Bars, Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhoods: Gastown, Downtown
If you don't mind your wine with a side of danger, head on down to Blood Alley. We weren't exactly sure where it was, so we turned down the alley behind some suspicious characters in a heavy downpour. We were chatting and mindlessly followed them -…More »
3. Tapastree
Tapastree offers casual dining, tapas-style with a West Coast flare. It's hard to go wrong choosing from their small-plates menu, unless you're on a budget. It's places like this that really make me wish I had a sugar daddy. You can try to just order…More »

Neighbourhoods: Gastown, Downtown
So.Cial is much more than a deli, although their sandwiches are amazing if you don't mind paying a bit more for high quality. It's also a very sexy nightspot to enjoy some of BC's best wines (shout out to my fav's Orofino Cab/Merlot and Desert Hills…More »

Vancouver, BC V5T 1R8
(604) 630-7502
Category: Beer, Wine & Spirits

We were tired of spending weekend afternoons sipping coffee, so we decided to hit up Soma for a glass of white before four. It was a great idea. This shop has the feel of a café and does, indeed, serve coffee. But they also have a great wine list up…More »
7. Plan B Dining Lounge - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6B 2X6
(604) 609-0901
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
If you land a date who's a 10, this is a go-to destination with your A-Game and a Gold Card.
The hardwood floors and exposed brick walls makes you wonder if Plan B might have a naughty side. She likely does, because with prices on the wine list…More »
8. Sandbar
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 669-9030
Gazing through Sandbar's high, wide wall of windows over False Creek across to downtown Vancouver is a great way to spend an evening. Sandbar is located under the Granville Bridge on Granville Island and boasts terrific views of the city, the ocean…More »

(604) 689-2832
Category: American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Gastown, Downtown
This is a pretty little spot to keep in mind for a special occasion, date or class catch-up session with friends. The white tablecloths, gourmet nibbles and a great view of the cobbled streets of Gastown make window seats here prime real estate.
