“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! 🌟“

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

“Food, service and ambience were great. Sone dishes are too salty, Scotch Egg with spaghetti and the lobster termador spaghetti were both too salty spaghettini. Bison carpaccio, mushroom risotto, halibut, beef tartare and other dishes were excellent. Portions were generous to share. Overall excellent. Please cut down the sodium as many have medical conditions and salt should be restricted. We will visit your restaurant on October 19. Looking forward to this. Thank you!“

“Friendly Service and Excellent Happy Hour Foods.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“One of my favourite bars I’ve been to, the vibe is immaculate. Energetic and tropical like we were transported to a vacation stay. We were seated at the bar, the bartenders were helpful explaining their cocktail menu. The entrance is kind of tucked away and has stairs into the lounge. This is somewhere I want to take people to, I will definitely be back.“

“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?“

“I normally have a great experience but this time it was a bit off. My water glass was filthy, I asked for a new one which was also filthy so I didn’t bother to drink water. Both our potatoes were burnt and then my friend was charged an extra THREE dollars for a tiny bit of hollandaise sauce for her eggs bene. That’s a bit ridiculous.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Super nice food, cozy place and good service“

“Very good ambiance, friendly, and prompt 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.“

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

“This has been my all time favorite cocktail bar. The incredible journey each cocktail took me through so many different flavor profiles and textures that left me in awe. I came with a group of 3, which we all ordered separate drinks - each of the drinks were immaculate - so much that we had intended only tasting one drink, but we were easily convinced to stay and try the rest of their menu. Typically, I would find one drink at a cocktail bar that would stand out - however Laowai impressed me across the board.

The staff were so sincere and made our experience so incredible. The presentation of the menu was so unique - they curated the menu through story telling of a book, which definitely added a layer to the experience. I'm excited for them change their cocktail menus again and have an entirety novel experience. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Go experience it, try it out for yourself, it's worth the wait.

Shout-out to Vanessa and Willow for the incredible experience.“

“Superb“

“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 ❤️“

“Great drinks and employees!“

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

“Mathiew and Ihor at the bar were actually the best bartenders and servers we have ever had. We had an amazing time sitting at the bar with them. We had the best porterhouse we had ever eaten along with the best margaritas. Excellent experience.“

“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!“

“Delightful dining experience!“

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

“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!“
