1. Waldorf Hotel
Vancouver, BC V5L 1S4
(604) 253-7141
Categories:
Hotels,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
For a place where my mom used to hang out when she was young, the Waldorf is pretty darn rad. I hadn't been to the Waldorf in a few years, so when I visited on Saturday I was thrilled about just how, well, "cool" it had become. On Fridays and…More »
2. Biltmore Cabaret
Vancouver, BC V5T 3J7
(604) 676-0541
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Few venues in Vancouver can boast friendly door staff, cheap stout on tap, and night after night of amazing entertainment. Luckily for discerning Vancouverites, the Biltmore has all three.
Filled with red velvet booths and tin ceilings, this…More »
3. The Diamond
Vancouver, BC V6A 1E7
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Before I start, I need to get something off my chest: near the entrance to the Diamond, they have a sign that says "I live in Gastown by choice. Those who are unfamiliar with IT'S particular allures are entitled to wonder why" (emphasis mine). It…More »
4. Kitty Nights
Vancouver, BC V5T 3J7
Categories:
Performing Arts,
Adult Entertainment
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
In the words of Austin Powers, ME-OW, baby!
The saucy Sunday Kitty Nights show is a great way to beat the dreading-Monday-morning blues. For a meagre $7, this is a fun place to come with a group of friends, as both ladies AND gents are sure to have a…More »
5. Rio Theatre
Vancouver, BC V5N 1W1
(604) 879-3456
Categories:
Cinema,
Performing Arts
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
Wow, this place has a pretty solid 5 star average. Sure tells you something, doesn't it? The Rio Theatre has undergone an amazing transformation over the past few years. I remember walking past this place when I was younger, and it was a sketchy…More »
6. Guilt & Co
Vancouver, BC V6A 1B2
(604) 288-1704
Categories:
Music Venues,
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I went here on a Friday night for a girls night, and we had a great time. The cocktails are delicious, and the beer menu was impressive.
A note of caution: this place gets uber packed, so if you want a table on a weekend be sure to get there before 8.…More »
7. Yagger's Downtown Restaurant & Sports Bar
Vancouver, BC V6B 1V2
(604) 602-7030
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Gastropubs
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Why oh why has it taken me so long to review Yaggers? I've spent hours upon hours at this place, and I've rented out the back room on a few occasions to hold private functions (it's FREE!). The staff here are wicked, as is the food. They seriously…More »
8. Electric Owl Social Club
Vancouver, BC V6A 2W1
(604) 558-0928
Categories:
Music Venues,
Bars,
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Strathcona
I have lived in Vancouver for most of my life, and in the past few years I've noticed that this city has really started to flourish. It's no longer just "beautiful;" it's becoming "cool." A HUGE part of this is due to the creative-thinking,…More »
9. The Comedy Mix
For those folks who used to come here when it was Yuk Yuk's -it's EXACTLY the same. Everything from the drink specials to the intro music they play before the show is identical. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it may give you an idea of what…More »
10. The Charlatan
Vancouver, BC V5L 3X8
(604) 253-2777
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
A charming local pub on the Drive, the Charlatan manages to be both a) a great spot to watch the game, and b) an intimate, cozy place to enjoy a few drinks with a date/friends.
A lot has been said about the Charlatan already, but I must add this: if…More »
11. The Irish Heather
Vancouver, BC V6B 2J2
(604) 688-9779
Categories:
Irish,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
What's not to love about the Irish Heather? They pour a mean pint of my all-time favourite brew, Guinness, they serve up some delicious meat pies, and they have a bad-ass selection of whiskeys for your sippin' pleasure. Also, I have to give them…More »
12. St. Augustine's
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B7
(604) 569-1911
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
I've been to St. Augustine's on a couple occasions, and in short it's a great spot if you're lookin' for a nice pint of craft beer in an unpretentious environment. Their beer list is a couple of pages long, and has something that will appeal to…More »
13. Lafflines Comedy Club
A decent comedy club close to the Columbia skytrain station, Lafflines is a good place to spend a Friday or Saturday night with a group of friends. However, be warned: reservations are an absolute MUST. This place gets packed, so don't expect to be…More »
14. The Charles Bar
Vancouver, BC V6B 1G1
(604) 568-8040
Category:
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
A nice, perpetually-hoppin' bar in the newly renovated Woodwards building, the Charles Bar is a good place to come and watch the game. I was here with some excellent company the other night to watch the game, and I was excited when I noticed that the…More »
15. The Lamplighter Public House
Vancouver, BC V6B 2K8
(604) 687-4424
Categories:
Pubs,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I know it's annoying when people say "[x] used to be SO much cooler," but I'm going to go ahead and say it anyway: the Lamplighter used to be SO much cooler. I remember spending many beer-fueled nights here listening to local rock bands play on the…More »
16. Library Square Public House
Vancouver, BC V6B 6B4
(604) 633-9644
Categories:
Pubs,
Sports Bars,
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I don't like giving one-star reviews. Look at my review history -really, I don't. But when a place ruins my birthday party, I think I have the right to review it as such.
Don't let the name fool you -the Library Square Public House isn't a place to…More »
17. Girl On Wax, DJ Leanne
My best friend hired DJ Leanne to provide the music for her wedding, and I have to say it was one of the best wedding-related decisions she made. When she originally told me that she was considering hiring DJ Leanne, I was thrilled as I remember…More »
