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.“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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?“

“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.“

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

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

“Superb“

“Super nice food, cozy place and good 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.“

“Sexy and intimate atmosphere, great cocktails & amazing playlist. my favorite bar in Van.“

“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.“

“I think it’s a great atmosphere if you get lucky enough to get a booth or a sitdown.

“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 ❤️“

“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 drinks and employees!“

“great staff great atmosphere great food great flower arrangements everything was fantastic I always love bringing people to this restaurant they always leave happy 😁😁“

“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 food and great service.We are visiting from Winnipeg in for Cindy insert.Our server Kirsten was awesome.“

“Gianna was an absolutely amazing server. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcome and taken care of. She struck the perfect balance between being attentive and giving us space to enjoy our meal. Her menu knowledge was on point — she had great recommendations, knew the steak cuts inside out, and helped us pick the perfect sides.

What stood out most was her genuine warmth and professionalism. Drinks were always refilled, plates cleared quickly, and she checked in at just the right times. She made the whole experience feel smooth and elevated.

If every server were like Gianna, every dinner out would feel special. Would 100% come back just for her service.“

“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!“

“12/10 experience! Came for the extensive beer list, which didn’t disappoint, then was blown away by the amazing dishes. The whipped feta dish and the scotch egg dish were phenomenal. The highlight though was dessert … the BEST sticky toffee pudding we have ever had! If you are going to a show at the Queen E, make sure you stop by The Magnet before or after!“

“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“

“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.“

“Gem of a place… support local businesses“

“Great food and great ambience.“

“Staff friendly food delicious“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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 👌🏾“

“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.“
