Just One Drink
See All Lists
1. Alibi Room
The Alibi Room is just great. Get there early enough and you can get a table, from which you can, in comfort (if a bit chilly - this building is VERY OLD), sample their incredible beer list. On my last visit, I tried the Swans Coconut Porter - yes, a…More »
2. YEW restaurant + bar
Vancouver, BC V6C 2T4
(604) 692-4939
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Wine Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Ah, the Yew! I hadn't actually visited this place yet until I went for a quick, spontaneous Saturday evening drink just last week. I was just blown away by the professionalism and class of the place - as well as the great, unpretentious service! It's…More »
3. Havana
Vancouver, BC V5L 3X4
(604) 253-9119
Categories:
Latin American,
Cuban
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Havana! You are one part art gallery, one part community theatre, one part sexy servers, and two parts kitschy semi-upscale 'Drive restaurant. My Cuban friend has told me that the food cannot really be called Cuban, despite the restaurant's name, but…More »
4. Six Acres
One of the most amazing spaces in Gastown, as far as I'm concerned. Cute design, too - the menus bound in old hardcover books on weathered paper is a seriously nice touch. Great drinks, great view, cozy, fun menu. Wish them veggie sliders were vegan.…More »
5. The Irish Heather
Vancouver, BC V6B 2J2
(604) 688-9779
Categories:
Irish,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
You know, I've heard people say that they don't like how the Irish Heather has "changed" over the years, but I've only become acquainted with it recently and I like it. I find the staff friendly and knowledgeable, the drinks list interesting and…More »
6. Nuba Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1H7
(604) 688-1655
Categories:
Middle Eastern,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Nuba makes incredible, tasty, fresh, health-minded food at good prices. I have not once been disappointed at Nuba. They cater to all diets and are a great place for both a quick lunch and a fancy dinner.
My favourite is Najib's Special, the…More »
7. Guilt & Co
Vancouver, BC V6A 1B2
(604) 288-1704
Categories:
Music Venues,
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Guilt is Chill Winston's little brother, with a very limited, snacky, charcuterie-style menu of food, a great but pricy menu of drinks, and an additional menu of board games. Their music improv, burlesque, comedy, and other events are absolutely…More »
8. St. Augustine's
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B7
(604) 569-1911
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
The food at St Augustine's is nothing to write home about - semi-pricey pub-style fare, it's the same crap you can get at pretty much any cultureless restaurant in Vancouver. But you aren't going there for the food.
St Augustine's has a selection of…More »
9. The Diamond
Vancouver, BC V6A 1E7
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I am not sure how it took me so long to finally spend an evening at The Diamond. This place is a gem, pun intended - the cocktails are absolutely incredible, using fresh, innovative ingredients, and the olives are pretty darn good too. My favourite…More »
10. Wild Rice
I am a huge, huge fan of Wild Rice. They serve Ocean Wise seafood, which I appreciate, and their vegan options are off the charts. Delicious, well-made, and listed on the menu as vegan. This is some of the highest-end and most reliably delicious…More »
11. The Cobalt
Vancouver, BC V6A
(778) 918-3671
Categories:
Music Venues,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Strathcona
So the "new" Cobalt is the only Cobalt I've ever been to - I like to pretend that I was a teenage punk, but I was really just a weepy little goth and the punk rock Cobalt wasn't enticing enough for me to actually visit. But the "new" Cobalt, the…More »
12. The Cascade Room
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E6
(604) 709-8650
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I finally visited Cascade after a history of resistance because there was a Canucks game on and we didn't want to leave the neighbourhood. Oh, brother. This place is great - what an incredible drink list! It's not cheap, but the beer, wine, and…More »
13. Keefer Bar
Oh, Keefer, I wanted to love you... and then I did. In fact, I loved you enough to spend more than I've ever spent at a bar before, and you didn't even have sesame balls (major disappointment). Also, I love you even though we paid our bill x2 because…More »
14. Fray
Vancouver, BC V5V 4E4
(604) 558-3729
Categories:
Cafes,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Riley Park, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
I kind of love Fray. I went there for the first time on a very slow Wednesday in that dead week between Christmas and New Year's, just for a drink. It turned out it was Wine Wednesday and they were selling bottles of OKV red wine for $15. It also…More »
15. El Barrio Restaurante Latino
Vancouver, BC V5L 1V4
(604) 569-2220
Categories:
Mexican,
Latin American
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
I have no complaints about El Barrio, because I have yet to have an experience at this place that is negative in any way. The food is authentic (as near as I can tell) and delicious, prepared with care and sass. Staff is friendly and really wants you…More »
16. The Eatery
Vancouver, BC V6R 2B4
(604) 738-5298
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
There are good things and bad things about The Eatery. I loved it when I first went there - funky decor, good music, hot-as-hell servers, and a tonne of vegan options on the menu. It was my first "funky Japanese place" experience. Also, about half…More »
17. The Tiki Bar
Vancouver, BC V5L 1S4
(604) 253-7141
Category:
Bars
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
Did you know that you can drink out of a COCONUT? It's a magical adventure!
I first spent time at the Tiki Bar long before it was cleaned up. There were TVs in there. It was weird. Now it's a sexy retro spot and the star-lights in the midnight blue…More »
18. Brewery Creek Liquor Store
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G6
(604) 872-3373
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
It really doesn't get better than Brewery Creek. Easily the best beer selection of any cold beer & wine I know in the city - and the wine selection is great too. I go here primarily on Sundays, because the law requires them to charge more than BCL,…More »
19. Chill Winston
Vancouver, BC V6A 1B2
(604) 288-9575
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Chill Winston is a very special restaurant/bar. It's not cheap, but you wouldn't expect it to be - it's got very attentive, well-trained servers, high quality food, an amazing address, and decent decor. The menu is mostly organic with a focus on…More »
20. Public Lounge Eatery
Vancouver, BC V5V 3M6
(604) 873-5584
Categories:
Tapas Bars,
Lounges,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
My new neighbourhood pub! I really like this place. It's well-designed but not pretentious, the menu is totally amazing, and it's cozy. I've ordered their truffle oil popcorn without cheese and scarfed that down in no time. It's a one-server joint,…More »
21. Waldorf Hotel
Vancouver, BC V5L 1S4
(604) 253-7141
Categories:
Hotels,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
Whoa, okay, quick update - experienced some pretty hostile service the other night at the tiki lounge, and apparently the previous restaurant menu, which was inspiring and interesting, has been either temporarily or permanently nixed in favour of the…More »

22. Che Baba Cantina
Vancouver, BC V5T 3K5
(604) 558-1518
Categories:
Mediterranean,
Yoga,
French
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I stopped by Che Baba Cantina last night for a glass of wine as the sun was setting. The room is so warm, so soft, so curvy - it was an incredibly warm-feeling space with the sun coming golden through the windows.
I had the excellent fortune to enjoy…More »

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Let me sketch out a scenario for you. Say you were starting a new job, but the night before you went out for a beer and ended up having a raucous good time. Suppose that, against your better judgment, you stayed out drinking til past 2, and then had…More »
Recently updated lists from Malloreigh M.
Coffee & Tea (29)Spots for caffeine fixin' in the Couve. |
Vegan Vancouver (49)Places to eat if you eschew animal products. All-vegan at the top, then all-vegetarian, then vegan-friendly omnivorous, each section organized from highest to lowest star rating. |
Grocery Shop (10)I'm a picky grocery consumer - I find shopping at big box stores really frustrating. Here's a list of grocery stores in Vancouver with great selections of interesting food, ethnic ingredients, spices, organic produce, and some specialty items that are useful for vegan cooking. |
Exceptional Vancouver (18)Take visitors from out of town to these interesting, unique spots for a cool and unusual experience. |
Shushi (13)I make that typo all the time. Sushi (and other Japanese). |
Victoria (6)Vegan hotspots in Our Province's Great Capitol. |
Business Time (13)Great places to bring a date. Conducive to conversation, generally high food quality, decent atmosphere and good lighting. Also, food that isn't heavy, so you can get down to business later. |
Curries and Chutneys and Dosas, Oh My (14)Where can a spice-lovin' vegetarian find satisfying South Asian food in Vancouver? |
San Francisco (12)These are the places I have reviewed in SF. |
Danger! Danger! (4)I recommend that you do NOT waste your time with these businesses. Poor service or poor food quality, probably both, make these places more frustrating than anything else. |
