Great bar, but I just dragged a whole group of people from out of town into the shady part of the city for no good reason.

Liked the place, they didn’t have all the drinks in the menu, didn’t like a lot the ones we ordered.

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.

This was our second time visiting, and once again it didn’t disappoint! We arrived on a Saturday night and managed to get our order in just before the kitchen closed. The food and drinks were amazing, but the real standout was the server, Willow. She was so warm, attentive, and made our experience truly special. This place is such a gem, and we can’t wait to come back again!

I checked out this speakeasy recently and was really impressed. The place has a clean, with just the right amount of vintage feel — perfect for a night out. The drinks were the highlight. You can tell the bartenders put thought into what they’re serving. The staff really made the experience even better. Super friendly and they checked in just enough without hovering. Overall, great energy, great drinks, and a team that knows how to run a smooth operation. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Loved everything about this spot from the dim lighting, to the amazing decor. The atmosphere feels moody in the best way, and the drinks were just as impressive. Perfect place to unwind and feel a little transported.
The vibe here is unmatched, dark, stylish, and full of energy. Drinks were creative and well-balanced, and the whole space just feels effortlessly cool.
Definitely coming back soon!

Incredible - usually a cocktail bar is, obviously, drink first. This place is IN. SANE. Beautiful cocktails, IN CREDIBLE food. They getcha at every point - have to wait? No problem: they serve drinks and bites at the front - enjoy the cool air and have a great time. Done your wait and going inside? Hey - you're welcome: you just stepped into one of the best spots in Vancouver. Enjoy, this place is badass and the owner is a goddamn gem.
Also: our main man at the helm of the ship is a straight up gangster and I love him.
Love a speakeasy concept! Such a cool place, with very tasty dumplings and a nice atmosphere. The cocktails are strong, which may be a plus for some… what I ordered was too sweet and too strong which was a bit tough to drink, but overall the experience was good!

Waited over 40 minutes outside and were basically required to buy a drink while waiting. Finally got in, and the place was nearly empty. Got menus, but no one ever came to take our order. Left after 20 minutes. Total waste of time.
