1. Brickhouse Late Nite Bistro & Bar
Vancouver, BC V6A 2V7
(604) 689-8645
Categories:
Pool Halls,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhood: Strathcona
Came here as a direct result of getting a tip from Reena M. This place delivers big time.
Parking is available if you look on the side streets. Otherwise you're looking at metered spots along Main.
The Brickhouse really is a Dive bar with a capital…More »
2. Cambie Bar & Grill
Vancouver, BC V6B 2N3
(604) 684-6466
Categories:
Pubs,
Dive Bars,
Music Venues
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Came by to chill and try some food.
Their usual in-house Cambie Lager (or as I call it, Cambie Ghetto-Lager) is always great for getting yourself messed up on the cheap.
I also had a "Swiss and Mushroom" burger. It contained.. (wait for it..) Swiss…More »

Came back to try their $8.95 Burger + Brew. The burger isn't bad, but.. it doesn't come with fries?… Read more »
3. Elephant Walk Neighbourhood Pub
Vancouver, BC V5P 1J8
(604) 324-1400
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Fraserview, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
Elephant Walk pretty much has the market cornered in this part of the city. Unless you count the dingy Cambodian fast food place across the street, but they don't serve over there.
Parking is plentiful, in a tiny lot out back (maybe 4 spots) and all…More »
4. Firefighters Club
Burnaby, BC V5H 3E8
(604) 437-4347
Categories:
Sports Bars,
Canadian (New),
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Metrotown
The Metropolis area seems to have plenty of ghetto bars. These places are usually slightly beaten up (and some of the customers look a bit that too), but if you can overlook that you will find awesomeness. Beer is reasonable, the food is quite…More »
5. Harold's Bistro & Bar
One thing I really like about hotel bars is that there's always a) ample parking, and b) lots of seating (the place was only 10% full when we came by tonight), and c) reasonable prices.
The restaurant is named after their most loyal customer (Harold…More »
6. Jaguars Pub
I have a thing for dingy ghetto-pubs for some reason. Must have something to do with the cheap beer and laid-back atmosphere.
Even though many of my friends are scared of this place, I think it's a great place to chat over a beer. There are some…More »
7. J P Malone's Neighbourhood Pub
Came here for some beer.
Parking is available in the back, but it does fill up when the place is busy. If it fills up, there is parking along Garden City.
On Mondays they have 15c (salt + pepper) wings, but if you ask for sauce, it's $1, effectively…More »
8. Loose Moose Tapas Bar & Grill
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1A8
(604) 633-1002
Category:
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Came here for some nachos and beer.
Parking here is only available on the street, so save a tree and walk here.
All dishes here are $6, except for the "Nachos for 2" which is $12. Beers are also $6, which is somewhat decent.
The inside of the bar…More »
9. Malone's Urban Drinkery Downtown
Vancouver, BC V6B 1V8
(604) 684-9977
Categories:
Sports Bars,
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Another run-of-the-mill drinking hole.
Parking here is horrendous, unless you come by after 2200.
The place is very dark on the inside. There are large sports murals on the walls. There are some booths, but most people are "standing room". The music…More »
10. Pier 73
Richmond, BC V7B 1C7
(604) 968-1178
Categories:
Seafood,
Canadian (New),
Pubs
Neighbourhood: YVR
My latest beer hunting adventure led my buddy and I here.
Parking is free, even though there is a pay lot outside. No need to buy a ticket. All you need to go is go inside and register your license plate with the hostess.
Service is somewhat…More »
11. Varsity Sports Cafe Roman Coin Pizza
We came here for ghetto-beer, and this place did not disappoint.
It's your typical neighbourhood ghetto-pub. The place was maybe 20% full. There is a full bar, with TVs showing everything from golf to sports highlights to the Tour de France. I'm…More »
12. Shenanigans
Looks like I was wrong about them getting rid of Karaoke Night. Not sure about other days of the week, but this is on Wednesdays. Nothing like watching a bunch of Westerners butcher their way through songs. My Caucasian friends were joking that…More »

Went back today and noticed they have pictures of titties on the wall. When we first saw them we thought it was a girl wearing a dark turtleneck. Nope, that turtleneck was really a tattoo.

14. The Suburban Well
Came here thanks to Vincci's review. Had no idea this plaza even existed until today! Nobody ever thinks of coming here.
Parking is plentiful in the private lot in front.
The interior is British themed, with war memorabilia and propaganda higher up…More »
15. Shark Club
Today the DJ was having a field day. It must've been Retro night. He was pumping stuff out like Joan Jett, AC/DC, and Queen.
Today there were actually people dancing on the dance floor. And by that I mean 2 people.
One thing I learned today: you can…More »

There is a ton of parking here. This is the way it should be.
