See All Lists
1. Bin 941 Tapas Parlour
This is a great place to go for a small gathering or a romantic date (up to 4 people) otherwise it can be hard to get a seat. But the atmosphere is worth it.
The service is great with the servers really knowing their wine list. They are also a wealth…More »
2. Red Squared Tapas Lounge - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1M4
(604) 408-6352
I'd turned away once already - wondering why this cool looking lounge wasn't packed. Assuming that it wasn't the place to be...
Oh contraire. It's new - so perhaps that's why it's still a little under the radar - but it won't be for long I bet! The…More »
3. Toratatsu - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6G 2L6
(604) 685-9399
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: West End
A food stylist, chef and friend recommended Toratatsu to me. And I have to agree with the first reviewer, Brian W. - WOW the ebi with chili mayo.
Atmosphere? Check! Great service? Check! Amazing dishes? Check! This place is totally different than…More »
4. La Bodega Restaurante & Tapas Bar
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1R3
(604) 684-8814
Categories:
Spanish,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I first discovered La Bodega 10 years ago - it was great then and its great now. It's the first time I experienced a proper Sangria (served by the pitcher) and I've been lucky to introduce it to many of my friends who all love it the same way I do.…More »
5. Guu With Garlic
Vancouver, BC V6G 1C7
(604) 685-8678
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: West End
This is one of those, "those in the know, know" restaurants that no one can pronounce. But the food - oh my! At first, I was a little unsure about the egg dipped in pumpkin and deep fried with a tartar type sauce - but one bite and I was floating in…More »
6. Salt Tasting Room
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A4
(604) 633-1912
Categories:
Wine Bars,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Oh how the salt shaker beacon calms my Blood Alley fears. And cheeses and meats nourish both my soul and my tummy. And if I could speak to my flights of wine, I would tell them that I love them and all of the ways they make my taste buds come alive.…More »
7. The Irish Heather
Vancouver, BC V6B 2J2
(604) 688-9779
Categories:
Irish,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Shabeen Room, Whiskey Wall,
Nights of drinking games...it has it all.
Oh, bring me your naysayers
Who say "The Heather has changed"
And I'll waltz right past the Heather's bar
Shabeen on my brain
Escaping out back
You'll hear lots of sounds
While your frown…More »

A shed a little tear for the move, I admit it. But it's only because of all of my fond memories tied… Read more »
8. Six Acres
Lots of beer to choose from. And a drink special on Czech beer on a Friday night, yields no complaints from me!
The space is small and laid back. The windows would likely be fogged up if the door didn't open so often (probably a welcome relief in the…More »
9. The Red Lion Bar & Grill
West Vancouver, BC V7V 1L3
(604) 926-8838
Categories:
Pubs,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Dundarave
A great meet up space for a cheeky after dinner work pint with friends from the North Shore.
They have some fabulous beers on tap - Kronenbourg is my favorite! And more importantly, they take care of their beer keg lines (phewf!). Although West…More »
10. The Whip Restaurant Gallery
Vancouver, BC V5T 1J7
(604) 874-4687
Categories:
Bars,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
This was my first time to the Whip. I loved the atmosphere. At first, I was a little worried that it was so quiet at 9 on a Saturday night. By 10 it was slammed! It got loud--but not so loud that we had to scream at each other. (My pet peeve is…More »
11. Judas Goat Taberna
Vancouver, BC V6B
(604) 681-5090
Categories:
Spanish,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Pay no mind to the bros waiting in line for the Blarneystone who seem to think Blood Alley is their own private urinal. Conceal yourself!
I look past this public display of disgusting and venture through the door just east of Salt for a little slice…More »
12. The Flying Tiger
Vancouver, BC V6K 1R4
(604) 737-7529
Categories:
Tapas Bars,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Our heroine, now Duchess of the Flying Tiger, Crystal, might now travel the world (okay -- just Canada and the US West), but that doesn't stop her from visiting The Flying Tiger TWICE in one week.
And why? With so many dining choices out there? Well,…More »
