10Best Live Entertainment
900 West Lounge
(Nightlife - Live Entertainment)
900 W Georgia St Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, Vancouver  V6C 2W6 • 604-669-9378
Distance: ~44 m *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. Elegant but unpretentious, this wine bar revels in its care of patrons – in service, in regional cuisine, and in wines. Folks from all walks come to indulge in creative fare that melds local and Asian sensibilities. Better yet is the appeal of the bar, which presents 500 selections, including 75 by-the-glass offerings from across the globe. Martinis are also a strong suit, and they're especially good coupled with complimentary appetizers during happy hour. Live jazz only solidifies the allure of this terrific place.

Railway Club
(Nightlife - Live Entertainment)
579 Dunsmuir St, Vancouver  V6B 1Y4 • 604-681-1625
Distance: ~409 m *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. Subtly lit and with pub-like ambience, this intimate club is a great Vancouver equalizer, welcoming folks of all interests, backgrounds and likes. Comfortably worn after 70 years of service, the Railway Club is one of those places that just feels good when you enter. Early in the evening, it invites socializing; after 8pm, bands take to the stage, and the place gets added character, courtesy of rock and blues music. Great draft beers are an added perk, and although it's a private club, gaining entrance is just a matter of paying a nominal annual price.

Roxy
(Nightlife - Live Entertainment)
932 Granville St, Vancouver  V6Z 1L2 • 604-331-7999

        Description: DOWNTOWN. Long a favorite hangout, this rock-n-roll club finds particular favor with area college folks. They give it special attention for its casual ambience, free-flowing beer, animated bartenders, and great lineup of live music. In addition to local talents (including house bands), you'll encounter well-known performers from all over Canada. Plus, some celebrities have enjoyed the club on its own merit, so you never know who you may catch in the crowd. Theme nights occur frequently, offering events like karaoke and '80s music.

One of the new kids on the downtown scene, Club 686 sports a long, glossy bar pushed right up to the dance floor, 3 VIP areas with high definition plasma TVs and a host of hotties shaking their moneymakers and taking to the poles in the upper alcove. DJs make sure the late night crowd just won't quit. For a breather, grab a bench behind the poles or near the floor and drink a sophisticated cocktail.

Bottled options and liquor are also available, along with a menu of pub fare that'll have you doing a little jig yourself. Live Celtic music finds its place Monday through Thursday, beginning at 9pm, and lunch specials are a terrific midday treat.

Richard's on Richards
(Nightlife - Live Entertainment)
1036 Richards St, Vancouver  V6B 3E1 • 604-687-6794
Distance: ~0.743 km *
        Description: YALETOWN. This enticing dance spot is one of Vancouver's most popular – and it has been for more than two decades now. For much of the week, Richard's features live bands, both local and touring acts, including performers like Prince, Branford Marsalis and Philosopher Kings. 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.

Shine
(Nightlife - Live Entertainment)
364 Water St, Vancouver  • 604-408-4321
Distance: ~0.761 km *
        Description: GASTOWN. Low ceilings, psychadelic colors, and a funky alcove that looks like Cinderella's pumpkin coach on an acid trip, Shine is a beacon in the late night of Gastown, a lounge-goers trip-hop paradise. DJs spin everything from 50's sockhop selections on Mondays to punk, reggae, trance and funk every night of the week. Special appearances by rap artists that mix it up with the DJs right in the middle of the clutch of appreciative listeners.

1161 Granville St, Vancouver  • 604-688-7803
Distance: ~0.805 km *
        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.
