1. The Cascade Room
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E6
(604) 709-8650
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Nothing on TV on a Monday night? Go to Cascades for Monday night trivia! It's better than Jeopardy! The questions are actually pretty hard, unless you are a trivial pursuit champion, which I am obviously not. The questions were hard for me because…More »
2. Otto's Shrunken Head
New York, NY 10009
USA
(212) 228-2240
Category:
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Stuyvesant Town, East Village, Alphabet City
We heard that they had a 80's night here on Tuesdays, so while we stayed in the Big Apple we checked in. We had been shopping in the village during the day and bagged a bunch of new threads, so we stopped in for an early drink before we headed back…More »
3. Grand Union Hotel
Vancouver, BC V6B 1G6
(604) 681-6611
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Downtown Eastside
You may have your reservations about this place, but like your momma said, "don't judge a book by its cover!" Rheanna F. dragged me and a posse of ladies here on a Friday night and the place was packed! We actually got an applause from the attendees…More »

Categories:
Canadian (New),
Tapas/Small Plates,
Pizza
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
How about five and a half stars? We came here for a late and lazy brunch on Sunday, and ended up taking over half of the restaurant, only because this place is pretty small, not because I have a million friends. Our server was accomodating and sassy,…More »

Categories:
Lounges,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Friday night I had four different events to attend. This was my first stop for a friend's birthday party. This place was packed by 6pm, so it took me a sec to figure out where the crew was sitting, but as soon as I was seated our server came over and…More »

Vancouver, BC V6Z 1R3

Categories:
Dance Clubs,

Neighbourhood: Downtown
All good things must come to an end. Sad but true. I stopped in to the O on Tuesday night for the last Ryan Steele show, and to catch the Fre-QUEEN-cy drag show. If you have ever been a fan of Saturday Night Live, or Kids in the Hall, I hope you had…More »
7. Les Foufounes électriques
Hell yes! Can I uproot this place and bring it back to Vancouver? This is one of the biggest alternative pubs I have been to, and one of the best. I was surprised that an establishment this big could exist without a kitchen, as I know the bylaws in…More »

Our friends invited us for a post-wedding-rehearsal dinner at the Irish Heather on Friday night. They decided to try out the long-table series that the Heather has on right now. I was a little concerned about what kind of veggie fare they would have…More »

(604) 681-8915
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
The Good:
Although this place still needs a little TLC, it sure does shine! the Rickshaw gives all the old punks who used to hang out at the Cobalt a new home. The Rickshaw constantly puts on live shows for young and underground people to check out.…More »

Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Finally something on our side of the bridge! I was worried that this place would be really rad, but nobody would venture to it, since its not in the West End. Luckily for me, every time I have been to the Biltmore it has been pretty packed, because…More »

Pubs,

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
It's 9am on Saturday morning, and my life has been spared by some vitamin water. I feel like a bag of shit. Could it have been the double highballs they have on special on Fridays for about $7.50? It's a good possibility. Could it have been our…More »
12. The Cobalt
Vancouver, BC V6A
(778) 918-3671
Categories:
Music Venues,

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Strathcona
Surprisingly, I went to the Cobalt for the first time this weekend. I am still amazed I never came here before for a punk show, or had the chance to throw up on the floor back in the day. Cover was $12 for the new fetish night called Noir that was…More »
13. The Pumpjack Pub
Have I mentioned that I love gay men? I can't remember if I did or not? I love everything from their limp wrists to their sweet lisps. Ok I'm stereotyping, but I'm allowed, I'm a fruit fly!
If you've ever walked down Davie street on a Sunday, you've…More »

(604) 685-4077
Categories:
Dance Clubs,
Gay Bars
Neighbourhood: West End
I'm not sure why, but I always thought Numbers was a bear bar? I guess since the Odyssey was a twink bar, I just assumed that the bears needed a bar too, not that they don't already have Pumpjack, but where do bears go to dance? Do bears dance? I…More »

Music Venues,

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Formerly known as The Plaza, we came here last night to see Little Boots. I hadn't really been in to Venue, since the renovations, and I must say, it is sooooooooo much better! You can move so much more freely in the bar since there isn't an island…More »
16. Lotus Hotel
We stopped in here on a Saturday night to say hello to some friends and have a quick drink. On Saturdays the Lotus doesn't open until 10, and apparently it doesn't even get busy until midnight or so.... I didn't hang around long enough to find out,…More »

We staggered over here after the Yelp Elite party at the New Oxford, we went from classy graduates, to sloppy drop-outs in a matter of minutes. It was karaoke night at the Winker Beans, so we needed to get on that stage and rock the joint. They had…More »

Me and the BF came here last night to watch Canada annihilate the Russians in hockey. It was packed so we ended up standing, which was OK because the Frog had a projector set up so it didn't matter where you were, you could see the game clearly. I…More »

(604) 683-9413
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
The Commodore is a good medium sized venue, and one of the very few clubs with a 990 person capacity. A lot of the bands or shows I want to check out are usually booked here, but since this is the only venue of this capacity in Vancouver, a lot of…More »

Canucks vs. Blackhawks game 7. So you can pretty much expect every pub in the city to be packed, and Yagger's was no exception. Lucky for me, one of my friends made a reservation so all we had to do was show up and drink! And drink we did!

We came here for trivia night last night, which was really fun. I love when pubs can offer something other than just sports on TV screens and UFC parties for men who question their sexuality. It was five dollars to play trivia, and each group could…More »

I have seen some live shows here in the past, and this weekend I came out on Saturday night for a sold out party. This place is great for live shows because there is some seating in booths at the back but also a big dance floor, its kind of like a…More »

Categories:
Lounges,

Neighbourhood: First Hill
My review may come across as biased because I am a Canadian and I just don't get some of the rules you people deal with in the U.S.A. Unfortunately that has tainted my review, but hopefully can persuade some of you to head north a bit more often.

25. The Oasis Pub
What happens at the Oasis, stays at the Oasis. Welcome to Fag Fridays, the place where all the twinks frolicked to when the Odyssey shut its doors. There's no cover, a $3 charge for the coat check, and doubles are only like $8.50. Score! There is…More »

Word on the street was that some of my favourite local DJs were spinning here on a Friday night. (That'd be R-Lex, Pandemonium, Abasi, Glyn and Ceebas, for those who are curious.) So I decided to give Shine one more try, and I made sure to get there…More »

29. Narrow Lounge
The secret is out! Our little hide-away beneath the red light off of Main Street has been invaded, and is no longer our special spot. Everyone must be on holidays, because this place was PACKED last night. We got there around 10:30 for a friendly…More »

(604) 687-2222
Categories:
Pubs,

An average pub in the heart of Davie street, where you find yourself surrounded by girly men, and manly girls. The staff are wonderfully hilarious and are as quick with their wit as they are on their feet.
On my last visit I had the veggie…More »

We came by Canvas for the Lady Gaga afterparty, which was much busier than I had expected. It was a VIP $60 cover event, so I had a few reservations, but it turned out to be a super fun industry party filled with lots of artists, musicians, and local…More »
33. Five Sixty
My first impression from Friday night was... wow, this place is huge! This can be both a good thing and a bad thing. If the club is packed, obviously this is a good thing, but during the week, on slower nights (Tuesday/Wednesday) this may help Club…More »
34. Club Passeport
We came out to Montreal for a music festival called Kinetik, and the festival pre-party was at Club Passeport. I have to admit, the location was pretty stellar, because St.Denis is the street with tons of cute little cafes and restaurants, so after a…More »

I was stuck for choices for a birthday dinner with family and friends. Where can I go that has more veggie options than just a salad, fish options for my Dad, who is allergic to red meat, and enough pastas to satisfy the Wop-tastic BF?? But the real…More »
