50 Best Cocktail Bars near West Vancouver

“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.“

“We had our Valentine's dinner at Bar Olo. Food was very delicious and portions were generous. The staff were really nice and friendly and provided fast service. The owner, Owen is really welcoming and friendly. We are happy we discovered this cosy and romantic spot and we would definitely go back.“

“Came here on Tuesday night for the first time. The vibe was warm and comfortable. We were seated by the fireplace which felt extra cozy, and not too loud considering it was right beside the bar.

I ordered the roasted turkey clubhouse (added cheese) and it was really good! There seemed to be a layer of marinated (lemony?) kale on the sandwich, and I really enjoyed it but there was no mention of it in the description on the menu. The fries were pretty good but the portion felt small. Fine for me, but my husband was still hungry after his meal. He ordered the Malibu Club and enjoyed the flavors, just wished there was more to it. While the burger was small compared to my sandwich, the overall value was still decent for the quality and ingredients.

Service was OK. The staff at the front were pleasant, and so was our server, but aside from refilling our water we did not see her once in between ordering our meals and finishing/requesting the bill. Meaning, she did not stop by to ask how our meal was or if we needed anything after the kitchen staff delivered our meals.“

“Everything was great. Our server was exceptional. The only problem I have is every time I go to cactus club I order coffee. It is always luke warm and never fresh when I order my coffee, I want it hot and I want it fresh and I want my refills the same way.“

“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!“

“Amazing mixed drinks and an…. Eclectic vibe. Just go and take it all in, you will not be disappointed!“

“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.“

“most delicious food! the chicken wings are especially tasty!“

“Friendly and welcoming staff. Great drinks which are reasonably priced especially at happy hour which is daily until 6:00. Happy hour drinks all come with two pieces of fried chicken (regular only, and with the first drink only) which is a pretty impressive deal

I like the lighting and overall comfortable environment

I've only been in for happy hour but I've never had to wait that long“

“We have been there several times always have a great time .“

“Came here for a first date and the guy was a -10/10 (unmatched me on the spot for not stroking his ego lol). But the bar is a total 10/10.
​I was ogling the gorgeous interior and watching the drinks and food passing by rather than focusing on him since he was talking about himself the entire time. The atmosphere and the cocktails are great!
Definitely worth a visit, even if your date is a bust.“

“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.“

“Visited for the first time on Saturday Rafael was our server ,so welcoming and charming. He explained us all the cocktails and techniques they use to make the drinks which made our experience very special. Camel milk clarified drink we would’ve never thought of trying. Amazing service amazing vibe definitely coming back soon!“

“The first time I came here there was live music playing which was beautiful and I really appreciated the vibe. Drinks are great and creative. Second time I came though the music was just a little loud for the atmosphere of a chiller classier bar so that was just a little off putting but overall a great time and would come again!“

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

“If you are jonesing for tacos you gotta try the Baja Shrimp Tacos! So Good!“

“I just want to start off by saying thank you to the waitress Shannon for her amazing service. The food was delicious!“

“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“

“Delightful dining experience!“

“Best Happy Hour in downtown. Absolutely delicious menu and a very nice location, staff, environment.“

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

“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 give this place five stars across the board, but it deserves more than that. The service was amazing, the food was absolutely wonderful, and the chef even went above and beyond to accommodate for our diet restrictions. The atmosphere is also something else entirely. I would 100% come back, and recommend to a friend.“

“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.“

“What a great place to go for a drink.
Big selection of beers. We had a flight of 3 beers from Changing Colors all were delicious. We were suprised the flights were so big, I think they were 14oz.
This place has great atmosphere and vibes and was definitely a highlight of our bar experiences. Will definitely return.“

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

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

“Highly recommend Wildlight Kitchen + Bar. Chef Warren Chow is one of the best chef's in the city! Whether its a special occassion or just a night out, its a great spot to visit.“

“Gem of a place… support local businesses“

“Staff friendly food delicious“

“Great food and great ambience.“

“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 👌🏾“

“We enjoyed our meal here. We enjoyed the Happy Hour offerings and felt that the value was tremendous. Everything was high quality and very tasty. The atmosphere was good for pre-peak hours and we think it would be a place we will return to very soon.“

“Phenomenal food. We both got the chef’s tasting menu & everything was very well thought and executed to the littlest details. We were served by Max & Andrew, both of whom must be passionate about what they do from what we could tell. My guess is that if you’re into delicious food, you’ll find your way to Suyo’s door.“

“If you're looking for a place to enjoy the perfect gin in Vancouver, then look no further than this local gin bar. This hidden gem is a must-visit for gin lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike. But it's not just the drinks that are amazing. The service is impeccable, Ross and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. They go above and beyond to ensure that you have a wonderful experience, and it's clear that they truly care about their customers.“

“We came on a weekday and the restaurant was packed. Got seated promptly as we had reservations. The service was average, probably because everyone was super busy with other tables.

Food was good! Some dishes were a little too salty for our tastes (which seems to be a theme for Savio Volpe as well...), but we enjoyed the bread and pizza a lot. The portions were good sized, with enough for leftovers.

We would come again, but probably only get appies and pizza.“

“The indo chinese food is to die for..! Really tasty

Review 2: Came here for the second time. Enjoyed the desi indian food this time. Loved everything. Delhi wala butter chicken was delicious. Mouni is a great server and served really well.“

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

“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!“
