28 Best Cocktail Bars in Vancouver

“We are always n the lookout for something new to us to try out locally. Today we came to @thegroceeycocktailandsocial

I love that my hubby leans into my dietary constraints. Tonight he stuck to the vegan options available - without modifications! He found this place after about 45 minutes of searching locally and a few towns north. Essentially the idea of travel more than we have to was unappealing to me.

Social is a great way to describe the atmosphere - vibe is calm, upbeat, and positive. The staff lean into the vibe with casual clean attire that matches the social vibe.

We opted for the butternut squash curry with ‘shrooms, kale, and a light chopped hazelnuts topping. The heat was close to a 3 that I have expert other locations. It is heat but doesn’t burn. Lips have a slight tingle that feels good!

The curry had large chunks of well cooked squash, plenty of kale, and a few mushrooms. The chopped hazelnuts stayed crunchy until the last drop. And I do mean drop!

We also had the handcut Yukon gold fries - no salt. The plate was filled and they were fresh and HOT! It was hard to get my hands on a few as these are hubbies favorite potato🤣.

They have a good selection of beer on tap, plenty of options for cocktails and mixed drinks of most any type. They also have fresh fruit for drinks which is nice to see. I had an earl grey tea with lemon and honey - deliciousness!

Worth the time and parking fees on the weekend to check this place out!“

“I didn’t know this place existed! What a cool find 💎 I stepped into The Foxhole with zero expectations—I was quietly blown away. Dark, art-deco vibes that feel intimate without being heavy. Pretty open space, so our group didn’t feel like we were fighting for room. The bar started out quiet, then filled just enough to buzz without chaos. Cute photo booth. I didn't order food but whatever was going by looked good. The guys snuck away to play on the classic arcade games for a while in the back lolz.

Drinks were clever, balanced, and beautifully served. We tried a bunch of cocktails across the menu. The Charlie Tango drink presentation was show-stopping. Wait times weren’t very long with two bartenders. Aurora was really friendly and helped refill our water. Didn’t talk with her much, but she had a sweet presence. Christian made our drinks and was hilarious—witty, quick to read the room when we needed something. I will definitely be back to debate big foot with him.

Solid sips, thoughtful service, mood on point.“

“It’s a great bar with wonderful entertainment.“

“We stayed here for nine nights and enjoyed our stay.“

“My brother and I went to the Cove last night and they got it right. Everything was excellent! I had the ahi tuna and my brother the scallops. Not a nite left. Even shared a dessert of butter cake ! Our server was awesome“

“Visiting friends in Portland, they took us here for Breakfast. Loved the ambiance. After a 30-minute wait (we didn't have a reservation), we were finally seated and waited... and waited... and waited, eventually receiving our order after another 45 minutes. Two of three orders were wrong - I had ordered "The standard" - described as "the standard two eggs* with a choice of bacon or Zenner's sausage served with home fries or field greens and choice of toast". Got it with roasted potatoes. The waiter insisted that's how they would always come - but then served extra fries - and, to make up for the wait, comped us with some of the jummy sweet balls they show in their icon image. I found this nice, but also the only appropriate thing to do to save them from a two-star review. Because the server, whom I found uncharmingly stressed at first, really woke up and sped up his game, I would take the experience and try it again when we visit our friends next time. The place itself is very nice, and the food was tasty - and would under other circumstances qualify for four stars or more (if you have read my other reviews, you may remember that I am rather particular with five stars).“

“Having been raised on the East Coast, I have been searching in vain for the pizza I grew up with. Yesterday, I visited the Thirsty Sasquatch for the first time. My search has ended! The Thirsty Sasquatch is the best "New York Style" pizza I've had since leaving Miami in 1973!“

“Everything from the food to the drinks is made with love and care. The owners and staff are wonderful and so kind. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to.“

“Great atmosphere! Delicious drinks and good conversation!“

“Great service I love your Moscow mule“

“Good food and good service“

“Had a lovely early dinner here today. We were a party of three and had a pizza, penne with sausage, chicken Caesar salad and Tiramisu. All were delicious and well presented. Service was awesome, atmosphere pleasing. Will be back!“

“As soon as I walked in, Nikki greeted me right away being very pleasant and sweet. The place is big, clean and i like the different seating areas and comfortable motif. She recommended their special espresso martini which was to die for. If they had ice cream in that flavor, i would hoard it.

She took care of our delicious apps: my steamer clams were fresh and perfect while also accommodating my friend's vegetarian options as the Filet Oscar was devoured by me.

Excellent quality to price ratio, service and my new favorite place to share with my partner tonight! Definitely want to try their blackened salmon and grits for brunch with the girls.“

“5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating! Vault 31 offers the perfect layout, vibe and rockin' customer service to guarantee an excellent gamers' night out! Last night was the League of Legends Watch Party this unique video game bar! ? ??‼️ We were able to play the SNES System "Super Mario World" game, and tried "Kirby" and Mortal Kombat Joy-Con Style! Vault 31 offers their own in-house wood-fired pizzas! The owners here make their very own dough, AND sauce! Last night I tried the "Pickle Rick" pizza! Surprisingly delicious. Composed of red sauce, pepperoni, and bread N' butter pickles! YUMMMMM!!!!!!“

“5 Star for Frontier PH, particularly for Mama’s Reuben (with tater tots IMO), also for Kyle’s excellent service. Thanks from 4 generations of our Family at one time on the Patio!“

“Wow!!! Truly unforgettable experience the type that makes you want to go back even if you’re not debating sushi bc the team is so good. Amelia, maya, daniel, dennis, everyone sorry if I didn’t include your name was above and beyond. Not to mention amelia and maya are so brogue they deserve to be on the ads or something being their face justice!!! 10/10 experience“

“Went here just before happy hour. First time, looking around. Place is clean, great soda and local beers. Good atmosphere. Food was very, very good. Things are on the spicy side, which I love. However if you have a low tolerance for spicy foods. Don't order anything that is. Menu will tell you what's what. Will be back for sure.“

“My wife and I ate here before taking in the Christmas Ship parade on the Columbia. I had the Radiatore. My wife had the Potato Gnocchi both of which were excellent. But the star for us was the Brussel Sprouts with Pickled Mustard Seed dressing, outstanding.“

“Great food but kinda spendy..“

“We went on a double date here on a Saturday evening and were sat in the bar area. They have a beautiful and grand chandelier in there.

Service was great! Very informative and attentive. We never needed to look for her. We went with her suggestion to share everything and that made the experience more fun.

I loved the truffle mac and cheese, fried Brie cubes, and the scallop yakitori. The scallops are cute little guys and very tasty. All the skewers were delicious. I think next time I would skip the beef cheek poutine. The beef cheek was the best part and the other ingredients were just so so.

For dessert, we got the chocolate pot de creme and chocolate lava cake. If you’re just getting one, I’d recommend the chocolate lava cake. There are a lot of fun elements in the plate, great for sharing!“

“These folks blew our minds this morning. One of the best diners we’ve been to in awhile. Ambiance, service quality, food quality. So happy to have this gem in our neighborhood! Lisa, our server, was a pro and so kind from start to finish. We were with our kiddo and got the ship and grits, shrimp sweet potato hash, avocado toast, and their vanilla birthday cake as “brunch dessert”. Everything tasted so fresh, we can’t wait to go back. It’s great for a solo meal, with a group, or with kids.“

“We have been enjoying dinner at El Gaucho for special events for over 20 years and it just keeps getting better and better.“

“First time there and it did not disappoint! Great service and great food! We will be back! The only drawback (not the fault of the restaurant) is the lack of parking.“

“Great place for dinner & a margarita“

“The view is stunning! The fish and chips is incredible! 😋 And the onion rings were delicious!“

“Great food always a pleasure the staff is fabulous and the hotel is a plus as usual we love eating here , try the Spanish coffee and the salmon chowder 🫠“

“great staff, cozy place. karaoke 7 days a week!!“
