I'll just grab a seat at the bar. Wait no stool. No no don't offer to find me one. I can see you're busy making a fancy cocktail. What is that a Gin & Tonic? Whoa you're good. It will be my pleasure to stand all night and watch you work!

My jaw dropped when I walked in. This place reminds me of those theme restaurants from the 1980's. Except the execution was slapdash and small town cheap. Perfectly sturdy walls are adulterated by murals that look like they were painted by a 5 year…More »

Whoa!

If you're a connoisseur of imaginative cuisine such as pizza, fries & burgers Joey serves them. On plates.

Dear Lamplighter,

It's not that I'm too old for you. Sure I'm a little older but it's you who've changed. And I don't like it. No sir. When we first met you were edgy and eclectic. You were far from sophisticated and I liked that. You had my respect…More »

It's a warm summer night and you're a bit parched. What are you craving for a nightcap? An ice cold beer? Maybe. But you know what would be really great? A Mint Julep! Wait -A Mint what?

I saved review number 50 for Pourhouse because it's my favourite Vancouver business right now. I even turned my spell check on.
