The Narrow Lounge is a classic East Van speakeasy in Vancouver, known for its incredible cocktails crafted by the talented bartender, Levi. The cozy and hidden spot, just off Main Street, boasts a candlelit atmosphere with a mix of electric lights, creating a warm and inviting environment for a night out with friends or a romantic date. The bar has a dark, narrow layout with great character, and its open sign is marked by a rock propping up the front door on East 3rd Ave, with a patio at the back. The staff, including TJ, Josh, and Fionn, are friendly, attentive, and engaging, often sharing stories about everything from the coming zombie apocalypse to Riverdance, making conversations lively and enjoyable. The cocktails are imaginative and highly praised, with bartender TJ sometimes creating special drinks like “what’s the thyme,” which features blueberries and a secret syrup gin. The Lavender Gin Fizz remains a popular choice, and the bartender's special drinks of the day are well above par. While the food, such as the cheesy wrapped blaster burrito, is tasty but average, the overall atmosphere is lively and festive, especially with options like the Street Fighter II game for a quarter a play. Visitors often return for the great service, energy, and music, which includes tunes by Sublime, Augustus Pablo, and Chromatixx. The bar operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so arriving early is recommended. Overall, The Narrow Lounge offers a cozy, character-filled environment with top-notch cocktails and a welcoming vibe.
