50 Best Cocktail Bars near North Vancouver

“The service here was outstanding. It isn’t a huge space but it’s comfy and inviting inside. The food was very good. Their menu is not overwhelming which helps with decision fatigue. We got shareable plates between four people. We ordered the mac and cheese, the bratwurst / lemon herb chicken sausage, fries and mashed potatoes. Portions are decent and definitely shareable. I also recommend their pineapple beer if it’s still available mmmm. Will be back.“

“Such a great spot in a cool neighbourhood!“

“Came here multiple times. The great selection of beers loved the salted lime lager, and I also loved the Roja sangria sour. The interior is very cute and lovey. I love the blue. There are some accessibility seating and outside seating. Also, there are some tasty vegetarian food options.Overall, every time I've come here, I've loved this brewery.“

North Vancouver is my favourite location, and Joeh has been my server for decades. He knows how to make your dining experience perfect, and keep you smiling!Dietary restrictions: You can modify any dish to your own personal needs.“

“Always delicious food and great service!“

“Our friend recommended this place to us.. and hands down it has the most amazing South Indian flavour! We had paneer butter masala, goat kali mirch (must try), chicken madras curry, ulvacharu chicken biryani (sooo good). Come here with friends/family and order family biryani size (super huge portion). Meat pieces are so tender and well cooked. Come over for a feast! Parking is paid, available on street. They have free parking in back side, we didn’t know about it.Don’t get the dessert! Music was a bit loud. Still giving 5 star as food is amazing!“

The portions were generous, the flavours are like nothing I have ever experienced and the cocktails... Run don't Walk to Zarak. Special mention: The service was great. All the staff were attentive, informative and happy. What a treat. I will be back!“

“Phenomenal food. We both got the chef’s tasting menu & everything was very well thought and executed to the littlest details. We were served by Max & Andrew, both of whom must be passionate about what they do from what we could tell. My guess is that if you’re into delicious food, you’ll find your way to Suyo’s door.“

“They treated us like royalty, when I made the reservation I had said it was my wife and I's wedding anniversary and as soon as we arrived they were on top of it, free champagne and very capable and intuitive service. Very friendly and outgoing but not smothering or annoying. They were there when needed but gone when they were not so that I could enjoy a private, romantic evening with the love of my life, the food was delicious and the drinks were perfect , all in all it was a wonderful and memorable night and I would recommend to anyone looking for a top of the line dining experience when it comes to not only grade "A" cuisine ,but service second to none that I have had the pleasure of receiving thus far! Thank you Glowbal ..... Mick & Darlene Ryan“

“We met some friends here for a meal and the food was really good, I had the Lasagna which was superb, and the pizza was the best we had in Vancouver, the staff were fantastic and even though it was busy, the atmosphere felt intimate. It would be a great place for a romantic meal if that's what you want too.“

“The food, specifically NewYork steak, lobster, baked potato and vegetables, were all amazing and the service was no different. I took my mom there for a nice fancy dinner and neither of us were disappointed at all. The server was very friendly and polite which made for a fantastic dining experience. Without a doubt we will be going back again. Oh ya, and the cheese bread there is a must try, absolutely delicious. Enjoy!“

“Amazing food 10/10 heard about it from a friend, will definitely be back“

“Great selection of brews, it’s rivalling The Alibi room with their consistent and high quality selections of beer. I’m noticing also a great improvement on their food menu. Everything tasted fresh and their charcuterie board was really impressive. I probably would’ve preferred they specified they only serve half of a pie in their menu regarding their charcuterie, though.Great staff, excellent food menu, impressive drink menu, terrible parking options—which is typical for downtown, but especially bad here.A great place to visit if you’re downtown!Parking: AVOID parking at 501 Richard’s Street (Lot #107?). They close at 8:00PM and will not grant you access to your vehicle unless you pay them $55 cash to unlock the gate. Awful phone representatives from HangTag. Avoid at ALL costs.“

“Great take on the classics - more impressive perhaps, is the 515 cocktails. Wide range of ingredients that are popping with both flavour and aroma. I would consider this place a great stop for a 1-2 drink visit, however, my wife and I ended up staying for 3-4! (Each). Pretty relaxed vibe in here with great service. Will definitely try and get back here while on another visit from out of town! Keep up the good juju ?“

“Gem of a place… support local businesses“

“Staff was exceptional. We ate there for lunch and dinner the same day. Our server at lunch was lovely. I'm sorry I don't remember his name.

In addition, the food was fantastic. Thank you!“

We ordered the chicken nuggets with a lovely ranch truffle dip, pierogies and chicken wings. Food was also great and the cocktails were delicious. Our server Mel definitely went above and beyond. It was so refreshing to go somewhere where the food, drinks and staff all exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely be back!“

We ordered 4 boards from the happy hour menu and the portion sizes were generous (ie we ordered too much).Service was also really good - Gorden was our host, server, and bartender, and he was excellent! He provided recommendations and suggestions, was attentive throughout our meal, and threw out a few jokes, too!Overall a great experience and we’ll definitely be back!“

He knows how to make people feel comfortable and have a good time with them. Please have him as an example for every server to exist in the world. He’s great at his job, please let him know.P.S. It was impossible to guess his name“

“2nd stop of the evening for us in Gastown Vancouver. 1st was Clough club where I mentioned in a previous review, had fantastic happy hour pricing and recommended you start your night there if your are planning on hops. Pourhouse was nice, more upscale but not too posh.“

“such a cute spot, and the bartender was wonderful, played great tunes that had a super chill vibe, spent time chatting with us at the bar and making jokes, definitely a great spot for drinks and snacks that isn’t pretentious but is still cool“

“Bartholomew is a special gem in a strip that is otherwise inundated with chain restaurants and basic beckies. e were a party of two and sat at the bar both times. Very cozy and welcoming. The cocktails are top-notch and creative, the service—impeccable, and their Butcher's Jerky: worth getting seconds and returning for another time! W“
