The place is especially busy on weekends, so you'll need to come early to get a seat in the 70-person room. A terrific cocktail menu includes a wide array of martinis, and food choices include a menu of light fare and sinful desserts. A favorite of aficionados and novices alike.

The large space offers sweeping views of Vancouver and the water, and it's heated when the weather cools. Representative quaffs include the Alder Bay Honey Lager and the Haupenthal Hefeweizen. Food is available.

Atlantic Trap & Gill
(Nightlife - Live Music)
118 Robson St, Vancouver  V6B 2A6 • 604-688-5840
Distance: ~9.300 km *
        Description: YALETOWN. A laid-back, rustic ambience pervades this welcoming pub, where seafood is tops and the maritime-themed decor boasts well-loved upholstery and tables crafted from kegs. East Coast flavor reigns in beer, food and music, providing a western outpost for transplants and fans alike. Live bands play Thursday and Saturday evenings, regaling patrons with folk and Celtic tunes. This bit of fun is always free, which makes the food and drinks taste that much better! The place's curious name can be attributed to local liquor laws, which forbade use of the word "tap" in the name. As a result, owners simply shifted the "r" from "grill" to "tap."

DJs spin on nights with no entertainment, but the fun doesn't stop coming with drink specials, a mechanical bull and the occasional Tropical Heat Foam Party where the heat gets turned up, foam sprayers turned on and all are encouraged to slip into their skimpiest beachwear and get sticky.

On weekends, however, DJs spin, and patrons fill the dance floor, grooving to reggae, rock, R&B and house tunes. The place's lively ambience can be attributed to splashy decor, high-tech laser lights, a terrific sound system and a well-dressed crowd.
