“An Unforgettable Night at Zodiac Night Club in Richmond!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Zodiac Night Club in Richmond, and it was an absolute blast! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a vibrant and energetic atmosphere that set the tone for an amazing night.

The club's interior is sleek and modern, with a spacious dance floor, state-of-the-art sound system, and dazzling lighting effects that create a truly immersive experience. The music selection was on point, with a mix of the latest hits and classic favorites that kept the crowd dancing all night long. Whether you're into hip-hop, EDM, or Top 40, there's something for everyone at Zodiac.

One of the things I loved most about Zodiac was the friendly and attentive staff. From the bouncers at the door to the bartenders and servers, everyone went above and beyond to ensure that I had a great time. The drinks were delicious and reasonably priced, and the service was fast and efficient.

Another highlight of the night was the live performances. The club features some of the best local and international DJs and artists, and the shows are always top-notch. The energy in the room during the performances was electric, and it was clear that everyone was having a great time.

Overall, I had an amazing experience at Zodiac Night Club in Richmond. The atmosphere, music, staff, and performances were all outstanding, and I would highly recommend this club to anyone looking for a fun and memorable night out. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking to let loose and have some fun, Zodiac is the place to be! I can't wait to go back again soon! 🌟“

“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!“

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

“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?“

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

“Really great vibe adorable bar down a basement feels cozy yet happening,
The entrance has stairs going up and down so it isn't accessible from the entrance but i emailed them and they told me there's a accessible access from inside Havana's next door, Google has this bar as accessible but if to have to enter elsewhere it's not.

Bartenders were really helpful it helping us chose which cocktails to pick the drinks were wonderful.

Overall would come again it's great spot to have one last drink to end the night“

“It was fine! Not a standout as our server didn’t seem quite as knowledgeable about the cocktails as maybe she could have been which left us with a few unexpected drinks due to unclear descriptions. Still a reasonable vibe and she did her best?“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Superb“

“Super nice food, cozy place and good service“

“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.“

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

“I wanted to give a huge shout out to the manager Katherine (hopefully I spelt it right, I apologize in advanced if I didn’t) she made our birthday celebration special when we ordered a lava cake to go. Would definitely go back just for service like that!“

“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!“

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

“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 ❤️“

“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! ✨👏🏼🔥😍“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Tasty food and best service ever.Especially service from Crystal.“

“We visited The Magnet on West Pender in Vancouver last night. It's owned by the same folks that run Brassneck Brewery (on Main, very decent beers) and the Alibi Room (on Alexander, great beer list, best veggie burger in town, great location). We've heard good things from friends and checked it out for their beer list which is vast and great choices (only BC beers these days as everywhere but excellent selection). They have slow pours for some of the pilsners and a side pull for others for a denser, creamier foam. Staff is very knowledgable about the beers and about the short but mighty natural wine list as well. The real surprise for us was the food though. We had heard good things about their pies (English Pork Pie, daily choices) and charcuterie board but as vegetarians we opted for the Grilled Carrots with Spiced Orange Glaze, Chana Dal, Spinach, Cilantro & Cashew Lemon Cream, served with Fried Flat Bread and the Whipped Feta & Olive Dip, Grilled Zucchini, Warm Balsamic Shallot Dressing & Housemade Olive Focaccia. We were majorly impressed by the presentation and taste of both. The warm balsamic shallot dressing was divine. SO GOOD. Everything fresh, on point and so delish. Highly recommend checking this place out when you are in downtown Vancouver.“
