A great spot in the heart of Downtown Vancouver, with a cozy vibe and great prices. Highly recommended!

Atmosphere: it’s very small and intimate, but quite loud. it was quite difficult to get the server’s attention, multiple times he passed us by in this tiny space and my hand was up to get his attention but he clearly just ignored us and looked the other way. Moreover, I was there with a friend wanting to catch up after a while of not seeing each other, when we arrived they originally told us to sit on the large couches in the corner (because their dining tables were full), and in the middle of our drinks they suggested that a group of 8 people who just arrived could join us on the couch which I found quite ridiculous and mentioned we’d like privacy as we could barely already hear each other. The space was so small with limited seats I felt once we didn’t order more food they were nudging us to leave so the end felt a bit unwelcoming.
Food: I ordered the yucca fries and asked if they could make it vegan, which they easily accommodated :) Unfortunately the yucca fries was shockingly overpriced for the tiny portion - I was not expecting just 7 pieces of yucca fries (for $12 before tax).

Really enjoyed this spot! The cocktails were amazing. They put their own small twist on the classics and made some drinks I’ve never tried before. The sound system is amazing and the music was spot on while we were there. I would recommend coming for a cocktail or two and getting the bread + olives. Would definitely come back again!

Its a cool and cozy space with creative and delicious cocktails!
We love the fact that music is not too loud here unlike the other bars. We can enjoy a nice conversation with our friends on the cozy sofas, while sipping some cocktails.

The waiter was very knowledgeable about the drinks! But none of them were very sweet (even though I asked for the sweetest ones). This bar is a unique experience. We tried four cocktails in total and they were all super different. But one of them was so smokey and bitter that it was hard to drink. Also, the music is pretty loud.

We went to 515 because I saw they had a Vieux Carre on the menu. For those not in the know, the drink originates from New Orleans at the Hotel Monteleone/Carousel Bar. Anyway….great drink. 515 has a great menu of cocktails including some from the Zig Zag Cafe in Seattle, a famous PacNW cocktail joint. We had four and they were all excellent. The decor was well done, not high end, not divey. The bartenders were excellent. The food menu was limited, but this is a bar not a restaurant.

I almost hate to leave a great review for fear that this place will get too popular - but I had a great experience at 515 tonight. Awesome happy hour menu with great cocktails and nibbles. Good music, and a relaxed vibe. The place is pretty small, so I would say groups of 2-4 people max. Staff were awesome. I’ll be back!!

Some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Good music and vibe.
When Campagnolos upstairs closed her doors my friends and me were not hopeful anything could replace her until now...
The 515 does not disappoint, with a delicious cocktail list of inventive riffs on classics, an impressive wall of premium spirits, great music, and friendly knowledgable staff. Also you have to order the yuca fries. Just fyi - they're too good to share;)
I went to The 515 tonight with two friends and had the best experience! I’m not much of a cocktail person, but our server Patrick took the time to explain the whole menu and give us the best suggestions. I ordered the Charcuterie and Cheese Board and absolutely loved it—it’s totally worth it. The atmosphere, drinks, and food were all a 10, but the standout was the service – truly the best part. Thank you so much to Patrick and the bartenders for an incredible night! Totally recommend.
