Description:
DOWNTOWN. Shimmy into those casually fabulous threads and get ready to dance. 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. |

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:
GASTOWN. At this microbrewery, steam used to craft the beers is city-supplied, and the brewing process is visible through the dining room's glass walls. It's an unusual method, but it produces great local brews, including a zippy espresso ale. Inside, dark woodwork and book-lined shelves add ambience, and from the expansive windows, you'll get views of the water and mountains. Upscale pub fare wards off hunger pangs nicely; afterwards, get moving with a game of pool, or simply sit back and relax by the fireplace. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Attractive, well-proportioned patrons consider this club one of their favorite haunts, and it's not uncommon to spot a few celebrities mixed into the crowd. A substantial dance floor sits beneath 22-foot ceilings and is a great place to showcase your abilities for other folks. If you're in a more subdued state of mind, head to the lounge, whose cushy seating and soft lighting offer more privacy. Three bars take care of thirsty clubgoers in the lovely space. Visit their website in advance to have your name added to the guest list. |

Description:
GASTOWN. For a touch of genuine Irish spirit, this gastropub can't be beat. Irish owners provide a note of authenticity, as do the menu and drinks.

Plus, the Shebeen, a small venue across the courtyard, carries a great number of whiskies, scotches and ryes. Traditional Irish fare peppers the menu, along with creative dishes that capitalize on Vancouver's great culinary bounty. |

Description:
GASTOWN. Always featuring lively Celtic house bands on the weekends, this Gastown-area bar packs in a crowd that is growing along with their reputation as a midsize live-music destination. Recent renovations include a new, larger stage, an improved sound system and better seating. A mezzanine offers another great sightline to the entertainment which also features touring artists and high-drawing local acts. And it is still a great place to quaff a pint and chat up the locals. |
