Description:
DOWNTOWN. It's elegance personified at this hotel lounge, whose crackling fireplace, plush appointments, and polished wood detailing speak of Old World luxury. Great cocktails are a welcome standard after work as professionals stop in for moneyed socializing and attentive service. Later into the evening, a pianist plays familiar melodies and even takes requests if there's a song you must hear. An ideal place to treat yourself to a measure of the good life. |

Description:
Saddle up for a hoedown, or the closest thing you'll get in Canadian cowboy country. Live music regularly, a friendly staff and a welcoming crowd of locals make for a homecooked good time at Big Star Country Cabaret in Burnaby just east of downtown. Chaps and Stetsons not required but you'll find plenty of stylin' folk sporting hats as they sip cocktails or slam shots while watching a runway parade of girls in minis or any one of the A Circuit Country Acts to hit this roadhouse Thursday to Saturday. DJs spin on Wednesday with DJ and the mechanical bull named "Bad Boy" is ready to ride any time. |

Description:
A revolving roster of Vancouver's best local rock bands play here night after night. Emerging and established talent, sometimes as many as four acts in one night, take the small stage to rally an already energetic crowd that packs in to discover the latest and greatest on the music scene. 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. |

Description:
GRANVILLE ISLAND. A little sleeker and more polished than typical pubs, this hotel establishment gets points for its Granville Island location and its microbrews, which are crafted on the premises. TVs and a fireplace add instant appeal inside, but the patio is, by all accounts, one of the best places to hang out. 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. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Dim and lively, this sports bar is an all-around kind of place, as good for hanging out with friends as for viewing the big game on one of the many TVs. Customary bar food includes things like chicken wings, popcorn shrimp with Creole mayonnaise, dry-rubbed ribs, and home-cut fries with dill dip. Plenty of beer keeps socializing on-track, and drink specials make many a happy customer as well. Laid-back and comfortable. Bands appear at the downtown location every weekend. |

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." |
