50 Best Cocktail Bars near West Vancouver

“Went here last night for the first time with a group for my birthday dinner and had such a great experience!! Nathan was our server and he was so lovely, made sure our group was well looked after the entire evening. Drinks and food were fabulous. The only unfortunate thing is the kitchen was out of all the mains except the chicken, so it was a shame we didn’t get to try anything else. I was super looking forward to the Ciopinno. BUT, we will definitely be back and hope to try those others items next time.“

“I had the Bangkok bowl with sautéed shrimp and it was fantastic. Happy hour prices from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. We hit this at the perfect time. Super friendly and beautiful staff.“

“I ordered the lemon grass noodle salad with chicken & minus the serrano peppers. It was still a bit too spicy for me, maybe because of the thai basil? In general it is a good salad, the chicken was really good a d i'd order again but ask all hot spice ingredients be removed. Family member ordered the Green goddess salad with chicken,minus feta & tomatoes and they were enjoyed their salad.“

“Cactus Club’s are pretty generic but this location has a different vibe. All the servers are very attentive and really care about the customers experience. I can see where the culture of this particular restaurant comes from when I met the manager, I think his name is Jack. He was engaging and really cared about the products and service. He knew a lot of details about the desserts and the ingredients which shows he was also knowledgeable about the products he selling. Highly recommend!“

“Best service I’ve ever received in my life the manager Rambo was so sweet and made my whole family feel so welcome. Our waitress Grace was so polite and on top of everything. Not to mention the INCREDIBLE food done to perfection by the chefs this was such an amazing experience and I can’t wait to come back“

“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.“

“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?“

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

“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 .“

“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?“

“Really great vibe adorable bar down a basement feels cozy yet happening,
The entrance has stairs going up and down so it isn't accessible from the entrance but i emailed them and they told me there's a accessible access from inside Havana's next door, Google has this bar as accessible but if to have to enter elsewhere it's not.

Bartenders were really helpful it helping us chose which cocktails to pick the drinks were wonderful.

Overall would come again it's great spot to have one last drink to end the night“

“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.“

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

“Super nice food, cozy place and good service“

“Folke serves wonderful vegan dining that can be enjoyed by anyone. We've never had a bad dish here and highly recommend it!“

“Food is fantastic and service is always on point and responsive.
The one thing lacking is a brunch menu that includes espresso coffee, drink specials ie; mimosa and Caesar specials etc.
We used to come to Toby's every Sunday for their brunch and their is currently no one within walking distance that offers a good brunch.
Bring on the brunch!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Superb“

“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!“

“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 ❤️“

“Delightful dining experience!“

“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.“

“Amazing food 10/10 heard about it from a friend, will definitely be back“

“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!“

“I was just here on may 5th 2024. this was the first time having a5 wagyu and it did not disappoint. the service was top notch the food was amazing. I will be back. please put the tomato bisque soup on the everyday menu.“

“This is a great place. It’s one of those eateries on the North Shore that is a must visit. Menu is not elaborate but that’s why this place works. They do what they do really well. The cost is also very reasonable. Apparently they have been around for 4 yrs. I spoke to who I believe was the owner and he was super nice as well. Would definitely recommend.“

“absolutely 💯 the food, service, and room are all amazing“

“Staff friendly food delicious“

“Gem of a place… support local businesses“

“Great food and great ambience.“

“The food is yummy, the service is great, and a good price.“

“Was here with a friend tonight for happy hour. Amazing food and ambience. Staff was super chill. Bartender / Server was great. Manager (pretty sure he was the manager) came over and introduced himself to us. I’m definitely coming back. 5 stars, no question 👌🏾“

“I love this place! Service, authenticity and vibe ♥️
Have tried almost everything on their menu and I must say it brings me closer to home.
This time I am adding a review because they went above and beyond. I ordered via doordash but they missed the chutney. When I called them up, their staff member came personally and gave me the chutneys and a surprise dessert, Gulab Jamun!
That’s how you win hearts. Great job guys. You are amazing 🤩“

“The first thing that hit me was how clean the venue was. The staff was very friendly. We chose the prix fixe. The steak was one of the best I’ve tasted because there were no tough bits at all and the sauce was SO good. The side salad was well balanced. I am GF so I asked for veggies on the side and they gave me these grilled mushrooms that were very addictive. The cocktails were delicious and my husband’s wine was so good.“

“Just when you think they can't raise their game any higher Hy's manages to find a way. We attended the Calgary locations 10th Anniversary Celebration on Sept 26th and it was spectacular. The event was flawlessly organized and orchestrated by the Hy's team, the food was next level even by Hy's standards and the service exceeded anything we have experienced anywhere in North America even in the finest hotels. Bryant Olender added a classic background with piano and vocal stylings that perfectly suited the atmosphere. It was certainly the best evening we have at Hy's over the last decade, and I don't think I'm overstating it to say it was a "Once in a Lifetime" experience. A huge thankyou to Barb and the entire Hy's team!“

“Tasty food and best service ever.Especially service from Crystal.“
