Don't smell booze with your nose. Smell with your mouth.
Quirky but it works! Lets you really breakdown the components of each liquor.
For a beer drinker like me, I learned a lot throughout the night about The Manhattan and cocktails in general. From…More »
The name of the place is truly legit. It's Pink, they have Elephants, and the staff are Thai.
I've been waiting for this party for months after meeting Desmond (owner) several months back. Once we told him about the awesomeness of Yelp parties, he…More »
I won't regurgitate the details of the 100+ reviews below. This was one helluva party. It was a Yelp Elite Party on crack. With a laundry list of vendors and sponsors and a burlesque dancer, it was sensory overload.
No idea how you pulled off such a…More »
Donelly surprises me again.
Spacious digs. Efficient, friendly, awesome staff. So they didn't do an full open bar like the crazy times at the New Oxford party, but the bar staff kept up with the barrage of Yelpers. The Murdoch Float was an interesting…More »
They made drinks with skill and potency. There was Pixelbooth with lots of props. Dim sum was pleasantly served. Burlesque performer who awesomely free-styled about dishing pie.
Robin, you rock. I wish every night was Yelp Tuesday night.
Bravo.

I was a wee bit skeptical as to how Robin could top the Secret Supper, but when I saw the word 'Bollywood' I knew this would be legendary.
Welcomed by a pair of well dressed tall 'ladies' with sweet Indian sponge cake, I knew this…More »
Was it just a dream? One of those completely unexpected awesome, vivid dreams that you'll likely only ever experience once in a Yelp lifetime?
Robin's concept for this event has never been done in the history of Yelp events. Let me repeat that.…More »
Suika + Yelp = Japanese Elite Awesomeness.
When I saw Miss Pikachu through the window, I knew this party was going to be crazy legit Tokyo fun times. When I saw Banana Man, Ladyboy, and Minny Mouse, I was super impressed. When I ate their food and…More »
Super belated review, but gotta give my props.
YEW may just stand for Yelp Elites Welcome. When you're wined and dined like royalty by YEW's staff, a 5-star is the bare praise acceptable.
I went to Tuesday's Wood-themed party. I'll save the food…More »
Holy Wednesday night hangover! I think the trouble started when I found out that it was OPEN bar. This may have contributed to me mistakenly identifying two people. Ooops.
I concur with others. This place is Donnelly? With absolutely spectacular…More »
Nerds just do everything better. Yelp nerds are no exception and made this Elite event nerd-tastic awesome.
This was the Ginger Ninja's (aka Cyndi H) first event as Vancouver CM and she picked up right where Crystal H left off.

Dear Crystal: You rocked it big time, asian style!
Wild Rice was a perfect venue. Sleek, comfy, spacious. Love the two separate loft-like areas. Home to Gray Monk tasting table and the LOL-filled photo booth with the most random asian props.
Feeling…More »
When was the last time you drank from a makeshift bar in an old autopsy room and used the autopsy table as a coffee table? Yup, a experience only found with Yelp.
I never knew there was a Vancouver Police Museum, so it was cool checking out…More »
Bang! Crystal and the Yelp team strike again with the biggest event I've been to so far. From the moment I stepped inside the gallery I met several super cool Yelpers as well as 1st timers. The vibe and energy of everyone there was fantastic! Every…More »

Wow, I think I finally recovered from the spectacularness (and those Pisco Sours) of my 3rd round of Yelp Events. So pardon me if I'm all over the map in this review.
Entrance: Darn big rose for the guys, pretty flower thing for the gals. If you were…More »
Yet again Crystal and rest of Team Yelp does it again. This was my first Elite event and boy oh boy did I have a smashing good time.
Nuba's new location is really funky cool. A true new gem for the mostly commercial area. The owners and staff were so…More »
This being my 1st Yelp party, simply put my expectations were blown away!
