A consistent good time ~ that place is a fail safe for a super fun night out with friends. I love it because it's casual, live band, good drinks (and as busy as it is the line for the bar is never too long). Beware the line starts early!

Chill Winston offers an overall impressive experience.
Aside from probably having the best patio in Gastown (great for people watching), the decor inside is just my style which made it feel like home. Sitting in my comfy chair I resolved with my…More »
If you are looking for somewhere laid back to have a few drinks and some food with friends, this is a decent place. The staff is all really friendly, they played good music, even though they were going for "Mexican hut" they didn't have Corona which…More »
For being outside the city, this place is crazy busy. I've always had a consistently good time there, I like the weekends where you can hit the dancefloor with friends, sit and chat in a booth, or shoot some pool. The crowd is a good mix in age, they…More »

I like this place. When you want to go for a non-crazy night out this place is great. Very chill vibe, but still with a dress code kinda thing. I always like the crowd, drinks are always great. It's a good place if you're looking for a more intimate…More »
Time for a refresh on the John B!
One a sunny afternoon a few weeks ago I decided apres work patio drinks were a necessity with my fella. I wanted sun, and the Foggy patio wasn't all sun (and pay parking booo!) So we headed to the John B.

This comedy club is great fun. They get some really great comedians, everytime I have been I have actually laughed until my face hurt. Weekends are best, but pro-am night is also loads of fun. They don't really serve food, so eat in advance. They…More »
I go here with coworkers from time to time - I work with all men and this is their Friday night watering hole.
Service is always awesome, the guys always enjoy looking at the waitresses, and the drinks are always yummy and delicious. We always end up…More »
Stepping into the River Rock, you will think you are in a Vegas hotel/casino. The sheer size is incredible and they paid a lot of attention to the decor. I have attended a few events here as well, and for a corporate event or party this place is…More »

I returned to Joey Tomato's the other night after finding them listed on a celiac Vancouver website as having a gluten free menu. I mean, that is something I have to check out.
Arriving early to avoid the dinner line, I was seated right away... and…More »

I haven't been here for a while but I think this is a great place to go for some food and may a couple drinks. It's a comfortable place to settle in for a few or a meal, everything tastes great and the servers are fantastic.
I recommend checking this…More »
I've been here a few times, it good for a night out.
It boasts a large sports bar as well as the "red room" which has had live music each time I have visited the casino. Both have a large seating area and great service.
I typically partake in some…More »

I checked out the pub side a few weeks ago. The microbrews are great, but it was a Friday night, and the small venue was absolutely jam packed! If i got there early and grabbed a table it would have been better. it's a bit on the loud side if you are…More »
Great microbrewery AND great food... does it get any better than that?
Big Ridge has a really comfy but trendy feel to the place, and is a great place to dine with a friend or a large group of friends. Anything on the menu is consistently great... I…More »
If you feel like going to a country bar without driving out the the country, this is the place you want to check out. With cheap cover (and no cover for ladies before 11pm on Friday nights), basic drinks (the bar man joked with me "nothing fancy"…More »

Good place to go out for a night with friends. dance floor gets super packed. There will never be a good Irish pub in Vancouver, so when I omit the fact that this is what it's trying to be its an okay place. It gets a bit rowdy as the night goes on.…More »
This place can be a good bit of fun, and I think that the juke box adds significantly to the fun. Its in a central location in New Westminster, with a parking lot out back.

Now, imagine Roosters, but without all the fights and more country dancing....
That is Gabby's. Full of drunkies all the same, this place is actually a good bit of fun. A mix between DJ-ed songs and an awesome live band. Bouncers there are great, as…More »

I prefer to avoid chains, especially when in Yaletown, but have ended up here on a few occasions. The decor is significantly hipper than the other Milestones scattered around the lower mainland, the menu is standard and they have lots of yummy…More »
I really love the decor in St James pub and they serve up a decent pint. However the place is very small so if you are not there early it is likely you will not even get standing room. There is an outdoor patio area but that is less trendy in winter…More »
I wouldn't call it a dive bar, but I wouldn't call it a nice pub, I guess it is a middle layer. I will start off by saying the bathrooms are impeccably clean, which is rarely seen in a pub.
Woody's is handy for the Burquitlam area; the pub is big…More »
This is a good place to go on game night. It's pretty new to the location so it doesn't get overly busy although it does fill up.
It has a funky loungey atmosphere; I sat in the bar area right in front of the televisions which were playing a pay per…More »

This place would fall under the dive bar, but it has a surprisingly nice covered patio. I have only been here a few times and don't find the aesthetic quality to be great, but the service is decent, the beer is good, it covers the basic requirements…More »
Of all the country bar scattered around the lower mainland this one is probably the best. With nightly drink specials and a large area with a big dance floor and loads of booths for sitting the venue itself is good.
However really cheap drinks +…More »
This newly-ish opened casino is worth a look; stepping into the facility through the main entrance is reminisent of a Vegas casino. One thing I like is that security seems to be pretty tight, weekend nights they tend to ID anyone who looks underage…More »

Like 5 years ago, this place was awesome. Now it's just kinda over done I think, they have started playing too much techno for my liking. It used to have a nicer dress code, but now it's kinda skanky. It has always been a meat market, but now it's…More »
It is actually "Dublin crossing" pub. I have been there several times. The first time I was quite excited, it had opened when I was actually living in Ireland, and by the time I was back it had the rep for being "authentic" in food, decor, and the…More »
