Nightlife

With the stunning mountain backdrop and the outdoors on your doorstep, the nightlife in Vancouver is second to none. With plenty of pubs, club, lounges, and everything else in between, there is no shortage of entertainment when the sun sets on this vibrant city.

Vancouver's British heritage plays a part in it being a pub paradise, the heart of which is downtown, with countless pubs and bars tucked away and nestled in between shops, businesses and bistros. Granville Street and Kitsilano are names to remember while Gastown's cobblestone streets and miniature black lampposts are reminiscent of Amsterdam and tourists flock here to imbibe and socialise.

Most of Vancouver's clubs and discos can be found downtown around Granville Street and Water and Pender streets in Gastown. The Roxy in Granville is a must and is one of Vancouver's top nightlife spots.

Check out the weekly Georgia Straight or the Thursday edition of the Vancouver Sun for nightlife and entertainment listings while you're in town.
