“Deliciously made cocktails & food“

“Wonderful food! the chicken and waffles are amazing! You Gotta eat here!“

“We stopped in for an early lunch and had a combo meal, which was incredible value. My fiancee had the sweet and sour seafood soup and wow, three full prawns plus other seafood, a drink and an appetizer for 22.50. They had really tasty chili oil and, the wings were excellent. Probably one of the crunchiest, well seasoned wings I’ve had. We really enjoyed our meal here.“

“You guys never fail to satisfy. I love your food. My only issue is that you’re so tight fisted with the green sauce. 😁“

“Friendly patrons. Everyone is very welcoming. Very homie vibe!“

“I have to say the staff here are so accommodating every time, that’s why my friends and I always come here to celebrate, birthday, bachelorette, wedding afterparty etc. We love it and keep coming back. The sound system is next level and our party time here are always super lit. They celebrate you with party confetti to make your day extra spoiled! I always leave them a generous tips! Weekend rooms are usually full, so I always book way ahead!“

“Friendly Service and Excellent Happy Hour Foods.“

“Impeccable food and service. We went to celebrate my brother's birthday, and the staff could not have been more accommodating, they were welcoming and extra attentive. The bison carpaccio delivered a rich, beefy umami burst. The 20oz Wagyu ribeye centre cut was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavour. The lobster paired beautifully with the risotto, creating a perfect balance. Portions were generous, comfortably enough for three to share.“

“Fantastic new experience Will go back for sure“

“Absolutely loved our night at the Keefer Bar! Our bartender was lovely, the cocktails were fantastic and we loved the food too! Highly recommend!“

“Friendly, knowledgeable bar staff who crafted cocktails based on what we like to drink! Speakeasy vibes. Definitely check out this cute, funky bar!“

“I had a small party of 30 hosted on the mezzanine at the Watson. Service was 10/10, food was great, drinks were great as usual, and everyone had an amazing time. Mike and Sean were easy to work with to coordinate the event, and the price was very reasonable. I strongly recommend the Watson for any future events.“

“Dress nicely and drop in for happy hour before it gets too busy. I had a wet martini, nicely prepared, and an imported draft beer from Oregon. Didn’t stay for food because of a prior commitment, but it’s on my list for a follow-up visit.

Wheelchair accessibility: I went down stairs to get there from the street entrance, perhaps there’s an elevator since it’s connected to the Georgia Hotel?“

“This place is amazing. Lucas the waiter is fab!!“

“Amazing mixed drinks and an…. Eclectic vibe. Just go and take it all in, you will not be disappointed!“

“They have so many unique cocktails to choose from! I obviously ended up getting a mezcal-based drink, and it was smoky, smooth, and beautifully golden. I asked for no cherry, but it came with one anyway. I went with it because its flavour wasn’t strong. Not sure if the server was busy or just a bit impatient while we ordered, but oh well. I’ll definitely be back to try something new!“

“Went here with a group of 7 for happy hour. Service was excellent, waiter was responsive. Happy hour drinks were good. Prices are fair for happy hour food but wish it had more variety. One of the people in my group mentioned the fish tacos were a bit dry and the waiter brought over some sauce for her. Ambiance is very chic. Good place to hang out w/ friends and catch up.“

“Wandered into the chickadee room while waiting for our table at a nearby restaurant. The bartender made me the most delicious Pisco sour, and his Stoke for cocktails was so high. He proudly showed me the official bitters for a Pisco sour and talked abt the banana notes.

He also made sure a male seated at the bar left my friend and I alone to our own conversation. Much appreciated.

Wish we could have stayed longer, they were having a theme night w a special menu. They all seemed so into it, what a cool team.“

“Was incredible, both my partner and I loved it“

“We have been there several times always have a great time .“

“A great find, once you find it ! Somewhat like a 'Speak Easy' of old. Even after you find the front door, you have to persevere a bit to go in and down the a very unique venue. Was too early for live music, so will have to go back and check it out.“

“Superb“

“We went last week for my sisters birthday and even though it was crazy busy our server kylie was super friendly,patient and quick!! Genuinely such a great server we didn’t even need to ask for refills or anything she would notice every little thing her self and bring it-she was absolutely great-the food itself didn’t disappoint either it was really good and the atmosphere was super nice even though we were a pretty large group all staff members were super patient and helpful!“

“Sexy and intimate atmosphere, great cocktails & amazing playlist. my favorite bar in Van.“

“One of my favorite things to explore are fun speakeasies. It feels that Vancouver is limited in that.
So when I entered into Bagheera and was expected to produce a secret code to enter then I was pretty excited for how my time spent there would be.
Bagheera is a pretty fun space with stories for each of their beverages and also their ambience. The drinks were fairly delicious and extremely reasonable during the happy hour (10 dollar cocktails).
The food was quite good but don't expect to be filled up as the portions are more snack size.
Altogether I plan to come back especially as I learnt at the end of our experience they have bottles of gin marinating in various levels of salt water.“

“Food is fantastic and service is always on point and responsive.
The one thing lacking is a brunch menu that includes espresso coffee, drink specials ie; mimosa and Caesar specials etc.
We used to come to Toby's every Sunday for their brunch and their is currently no one within walking distance that offers a good brunch.
Bring on the brunch!“

“Very good ambiance, friendly, and prompt service.“

“I think it’s a great atmosphere if you get lucky enough to get a booth or a sitdown.

Bar table experience is not as good but 4/5
Servers and bartenders are nice friendly and helpful.

They asked for feedback and explained both items. Good indoor temperature and air quality.

Service and and very attentive staff. Great drink recommendations.
5/5 experience of we had a sit down table

This place has exceptional quality experience because of exceptional services thank you Oleg and Ben“

“An amazing experience with the best atmosphere, love that its more of a sharing food experience so there isn't that awkward quiet period where instead everyone is talking about the food. We love our server Kristi, so knowledgeable about the drinks and made a birthday even better. Thank you!“

“Shout out to Wes the manager at The Ellis who went above and beyond to accommodate our family! The servers were so helpful and food came quickly as we were short on time. Dog friendly restaurant on the patio, really great ambiance and incredible burgers and dessert! Highly recommend visiting this restaurant ❤️“

“Folke serves wonderful vegan dining that can be enjoyed by anyone. We've never had a bad dish here and highly recommend it!“

“A favourite bar in Vancouver for light snacks & aperitifs. Barra 41 is the bar attached to Minerva's Greek restaurant (which has been around forever) and serves the same great quality food from it's kitchen. All the food & beer on tap is good, and you can also order from the restaurant menu. The atmosphere & service of this bar takes Barra the next levrl. Highly recommended and worth the trip to karisdale. Happy hour specials are offered daily from 3 - 5 PM.“

“Great drinks and employees!“

“Amazing food here! Absolutely mouth watering! I will be back a million times over. Great service, keep up the good work kitchen team! ✨👏🏼🔥😍“

“We came for a good bye dinner with our team. Our company closed and Glowbal was selected by numerous recommendations from our other colleagues. It was an amazing atmosphere and definitely super-tasty food. When the time for dessert came, our beautiful waitresses came with our ordered sweet cake with “Happy Unemployment “ writing on the plate. It was a bittersweet moment for all of us but our mood instantly switched to laughter and we almost forgot the cause of our gathering“

“Great food and great service.We are visiting from Winnipeg in for Cindy insert.Our server Kirsten was awesome.“

“Delightful dining experience!“

“great staff great atmosphere great food great flower arrangements everything was fantastic I always love bringing people to this restaurant they always leave happy 😁😁“

“Gianna was an absolutely amazing server. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcome and taken care of. She struck the perfect balance between being attentive and giving us space to enjoy our meal. Her menu knowledge was on point — she had great recommendations, knew the steak cuts inside out, and helped us pick the perfect sides.

What stood out most was her genuine warmth and professionalism. Drinks were always refilled, plates cleared quickly, and she checked in at just the right times. She made the whole experience feel smooth and elevated.

If every server were like Gianna, every dinner out would feel special. Would 100% come back just for her service.“

“During my visit to Hyderabadi Biryani House with four friends, we had a delightful dining experience that truly showcased the restaurant's expertise in traditional Indian cuisine. The garlic naan was a highlight, with its soft, fluffy texture and rich garlic flavor that perfectly complemented the meal. The veg dum biryani was equally impressive, offering a fragrant mix of spices and perfectly cooked rice that provided a satisfying, hearty dish. The veg curries were another standout, with their rich, aromatic gravies and fresh vegetables that delivered a burst of authentic flavors. The meal was a fantastic experience, with these dishes standing out as the stars of the evening.“

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

“I ate at Zarak last night for the first time and I was blown away. Every Single Dish was spectacular!!! 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!“

“I was just here on may 5th 2024. this was the first time having a5 wagyu and it did not disappoint. the service was top notch the food was amazing. I will be back. please put the tomato bisque soup on the everyday menu.“

“12/10 experience! Came for the extensive beer list, which didn’t disappoint, then was blown away by the amazing dishes. The whipped feta dish and the scotch egg dish were phenomenal. The highlight though was dessert … the BEST sticky toffee pudding we have ever had! If you are going to a show at the Queen E, make sure you stop by The Magnet before or after!“
