I lived in Japan for a year and I must admit that I got hooked on karaoke while I was there. Since I've been back in Vancouver, I have been on the lookout for a Japanese-style karaoke bar. Japanese karaoke bars are set up differently than the typical…More »

Depending on what night you show up at Celebs, you'll find a very different crowd. It's a huge dance venue, so it's great for people who like some space to shake their thang. You'll likely wait in line, but at least there are drag queens prancing…More »

Live music lovers need to get to know this venue. It's such a fun place to catch a live show because it's a fairly small venue with a huge dance floor in front of the stage. I saw The Roots here and the guitarist even came off stage and walked…More »

Four stars, four words: 80s night on Saturday!

We ended up going too early, hoping to secure a great table close to the dance floor. And the place was already packed, standing room only, because it was showing a UFC match on PPV! The place was totally…More »

Doesn't look like much from outside (what's with the nasty green neon sign?) but once you get in there it's sleek, the service is top notch and the food is inventive (duck rolls ... meatballs ... beet salad ... mmmm) and the wine list is delicious…More »

It's called the Backstage Lounge because it is right behind the Arts Club Theatre on Granville Island, which makes it a great place to grab a drink before you head in to see the latest play.  But that's not why I go there.

Backstage Lounge also has…More »

If you like live entertainment but don't have the budget for a ticket to a play, I really recommend going to improv. It's a fun night out and easy on the pocket book. Tickets run from $12 to $18 (depending on the show time you choose) and it is a…More »
