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:
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. |

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:
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. |

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. |
