 Off-Stage Amusement |
1585 Johnston Street (Granville Island) Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9 Canada +1 604 687 1354 http://www.artsclub.com/onstag... |
This lounge is a popular place for a creative crowd. Nightly shows make the watering hole a prime locale to enjoy live musical and comedy acts. The menu is predominantly West Coast-style cuisine: spicy chicken wings or large platters of nachos with dip are popular orders at less than CAD10. With the large variety of liquor lining the bar's back wall, it is obvious that drinks are this institution's specialty. Locally brewed ales are constantly in demand and worth a taste. See website for complete menu and monthly entertainment calendar. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cuban-style downtown party spot |
654 Nelson St (near Granville) Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L5 Canada +1 604 605 4343 |
This downtown Irish pub has all the fixings to make you feel as if you've transported yourself back across the Atlantic. Along with the classic pub facade, the all-wooden bar, and the dark lighting, this pub has also combined some American feel to it with regular Football and Baseball matches being shown as well as serving a wide variety of American cuisine that you'd only expect from a bar.

New Millennium Nibbling Bar |
941 Davie Street Vancouver, BC V6Z 1B9 Canada +1 604 683 1246 http://www.bin941.com/ |
Here is a concept: serve artfully-crafted and savoury appetizer dishes to loads of hungry, hip people in a tiny and crowded Downtown space. The result? Instant success. Partnered with its uptown incarnation, Bin 942, this youthful establishment is packed full with old benches, church pews and 'found objects'. The tapas menu includes treats like Coconut-Steamed Mussels and Crab Cakes sprinkled over with burnt-orange chipotle. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Tapas original since 1971 |
1277 Howe Street Vancouver, BC V6Z 1R3 Canada +1 604 684 8815 |
This downtown Spanish restaurant began serving tapas, the popular small-plate shareables, in 1971. It has lots of brick walls and wood accents, while prints of Picasso's Don Quixote, wind swept beaches, and even a bull's head adorn the walls. There are three dining areas, with Spanish embellishments highlighting each. Try the piquant Patatas Bravas and the locally famous and thirst-quenching Sangria. Choose from the wide selection of cold and hot tapas, from simple White Rice to Spiced Rabbit. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Small modern cafe |
3162 West Broadway Vancouver, BC V6K 2H3 Canada +1 604 736 7576 http://www.fictiontapas.com/ |
This is one of the newer culinary additions to Kitsilano's Broadway area. With its vaulted ceilings, immense bar, black vinyl seating and deep crimson walls, it is a comfortable place to relax and maybe read a good book. Although the menu lists standard fare such as burgers and chicken, the real specialty is the tapas selection. The delectable yam fries are a local favorite. A typical meal is quite reasonably priced.
