Super cool place with a top quality chef from Mexico. Small kitchen results in a limited but yummy menu. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars on food was the mushroom pizza using cauliflower flour. A bit too heavy on cheese and not so much flavor. But the fish tacos were awesome, as was the Brie. Great music always. Very chill buzz.

This is by far one of the best places for live music in Vancouver, or most of British Columbia. They have live music seven nights a week, and there are two different bands each night. You get charged for every music set that you are in the club for. it is a great atmosphere and people are very friendly. There’s a place to dance on the dance floor as well. They have great food, I always like getting the warm olives and garlic bread. They have a full bar with reasonable prices. This is a great place to spend the evening with friends. Be sure to bring your ID, as they card everyone no matter how old you look.

A great place in Gastown with live music. It's recommended to arrive half an hour before the show starts as there is a line at the entrance. The cost is high, 7 for the performance and the time between performances. Overall, it cost me 21 to see the two shows. Additionally, you need to order food and drinks, which are not included in the price. The waitress was very unpleasant.

Came here with a group of friends for an early show to get our night started and had an amazing time! Great happy hour deals and friendly service. Also appreciate their first-come-first serve table policy.

Drinks were unique and amazing, service was attentive, fast and kind. I got the tuna mango tostada and I would recommend, however it was a bit pricey, and the "kiss it better" drink which was fun, fresh, with a spicy kick. The atmosphere was what reallyyy got me going; amazing bands, perfect ambiance lighting, people dancing, and the music playing between bands was amazing too. I didn't want to leave !!

I love the vibes, the singer; Christine on the 24th was great! The food (meatballs) were not the best, quite dry and expensive, although the sourdough slice we ordered was delicious! The hibiscus spritz is pretty good for someone who doesn’t drink!

I was really impressed by this bar. The atmosphere was amazing even though it was a quiet night (early in the week). The musicians were great. It wasn't really my style of music, but the lead singer was very captivating, and the other musicians just seemed to be having the time of their life. I tried a couple of their house cocktails, and both were amazing. They have some really interesting variations on some classics. The food was also great.
