Vancouver Restaurants and Bars
Vancouver Restaurants
Bridges - There's a choice of patronising either the bistro, restaurant, pub and dock (which is outdoors). The restaurant has all the elements of fine dining and all the things that go with it. The dock, while more casual, is equally good and has dishes from grilled salmon to pizza. All the local brews and more are available at the bar. The restaurant is on 1696 Duranleau Street.
Joe Fortes Seafood and Chop House - With a claim to serving 250 000 oysters annually, this restaurant must know its seafood. Steaks and salads are also a strong feature. It's on 777 Thurlow Street downtown and just to know what to expect about the ambience, the waiters wear white jackets.
Yaletown Brewing Company - Pizza's are half price on Sundays. The food is home-style but far from boring. Located on 1111 Main Street, the restaurant has an attached but separate bar and is popular among those working in the locality.
Earls Restaurant - From burgers and sandwiches to cedar planked salmon with curry sauce. This restaurant rightly says that it fills the gap betwen fast food and casual dining. The environment is relaxed and the prices are good too.
Vancouver Bars & Clubs
Barclay Lounge - Everything is all laid back here from the music to the decor. Located on 1348 Robson Street, it has a cabaret style lounge and singers whose repertoires range from Frank Sinatra to other laid back singers and music of recent times.
Jolly Taxpayer - On 828 West Hastings Street, it can be quite busy at lunch time from patrons who work in the area. After work, these patrons are often back to unwind. Despite the comings and goings, it is all very relaxed, the atmosphere very much like a British pub.
Mavericks - Big dance floor, big mix of crowd and pool tables for those who are that way inclined. It's on 6669 Kingsway.
Pat's Pub - There are always special events taking place and if you do not want to miss out, keep track of the events calender which is always advertised well in advance. Located downtown on 403 East Hastings Street, it has been around since 1914. You could describe as a traditional beer parlour and the cost of both food and drink seem to be reasonable with coolers and ciders, for instance, going at $3.
