Vancouver Nightlife in Canada: Top 3 Bars

Aug. 26, 2013 by Matt van Vuuren

Visiting a few local bars during a wild weekend in the heart of Vancouver but be aware, the scene isn't as mature in comparison to other major North American cities

Party time on the west coast of Canada. I met up with my friends for dinner and drinks in the Yaletown district.

Places

1. Ginger Sixtytwo
Stylish dance lounge with a fun local crowd
2. Joes Apartment
Cool bar with a laid back atmosphere and gorgeous giant chandelier
3. Venue Nightclub
Spacious hot spot with dance floors and a stage, good for a heavy night

My friend Natalie invited me to dine with her and her friends at Glowbal. An upscale restaurant in the heart of Yaletown.

Afterwards we all jumped in a limo and went to the most popular stripclub of Vancouver called Brandi Show Lounge. I was surprised by how many girls were among the audience.

On the Friday night I decided to hit up downtown by myself to do a thorough swope of the Granville St. nightlife district.

I went to Ginger 62 which was a nice, mature and upscale lounge on the south end of Granville Street. I ended the night at Joe's Apartment which was a pretty plain but fun bar with a decent dance floor.

Although the Vancouver nightlife scene isn't as big as Montreal's or Toronto's, it still allows for a fun time with friends or a good night out.

I stayed at Hotel Le Soleil which I found through AirBNB for a ridiculously low rate. The room was beautiful and came with all the luxuries you could want from a quality hotel.
