The Lido quickly became an East Van staple when it opened approx. 10-ish hears ago. It’s authentic & unpretentious, and frequented by folks that are non-mainstream / unconventional / alternative (to use the limited descriptors we humans use 🤣). The bar staff have always been friendly & real. The interior is stylish & creative without trying too hard. The indoor space has lots of places to sit as well as a small dance floor / audience area with a stage - and fun ceiling decor! Live music shows & DJ nights of various genres happen regularly, from jazz to metal. The outdoor space is a hidden gem of the city, as it is fully covered & fenced, making it cozy, private & sheltered from the elements. Highly recommended

What can i say! The lido makes me feel right at home - and so many people that i talk to feel the same way. I feel so lucky to have a bar like this in vancouver - where other bars can feel hostile or sterile or simply mid, the lido is friendly and human and fun! The staff are awesome, the drinks tasty (within the last year they really kicked up their cocktail menu - shout out to the beer cocktails, especially the beer-garita 🍹 - and their selection of drinks on tap is lovely. This bar has guinness!), and the atmosphere - sky high! Lots of different dj nights, live music - check out their insta for the events hehe. Anyway, shout out to the lido for rocking hard and being a real oasis for me in this city. 🙏🏻

Not good. Smoke machine was super not bueno, ruined my night for a hot minute. Please consider removing that - it is very uncomfortable for contact wearers.
I used to go to Lido often, and enjoy the vibe. Tonight bad music and bad service surprisingly affected our experience. Stopping by for a drink after "The Watson" (with great service, amazing servings, and super warm service) was a total downer.

The place is good, fair price but one particular server (blond lady), was completely rude with me and other many customers in our group. Hope the owners and managers can think about that and improve.

Great Old Fashioned - FUN karaoke night - and a great spot for a low key first date
