My fav and best speakeasy in Vancouver serving delish cocktails late into the night. I agree its hard to find this spot but if you know to look for the redt light ul be fine. The minute you walk in I loved the vibe of this place. Spent 4 hours trying different cocktails and the bartender was a joy to chat with as well. We tried their chocolate old fashioned (not on the menu but the bartender made this one - amazing), cacao caliente, tsunami (my husbands fav - kept re-ordering this all night), trend setter (interesting take on espresso martini) & lavender gin fizz! We loved everything we ordered. Dint stay for food though but enjoyed our drinks. They have several tables here and I am sure it is packed on weekends. Highly recommend.

You know it's open when the red light turns on. Gritty lil place that's nice for an evening of drinks and little bites. Super casual and a bit grungey ambiance. It's a cramped space in the dining area and it has no natural light as It's below ground. Service is fast paced so it was average.

Agree with other reviews that the entrance hallway makes you think you may get murdered but once inside, the place is pretty cool. I had the Pina Sour and it was so good I had 2. Bartender made a special Old Fashioned for us with PB Whiskey and Chocolate - very good! Loved the Tequila Mule as well. Food was good (high point was the Tot Burrito) but we'll be back for the drinks!

The unique thing about the lounge is that it's hidden. It has a great song playlist that makes you wanna Shazam every song. They had a good & cheap food menu.
I just wished that they had some creative cocktails to go with their lounge theme. They had a very regular menu for cocktails and they were out of the chocolate old fashioned very early on a Friday night..not a good sign.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Kaitlyn M.Vancouver, Canada33Jan 27, 2024
Unassuming little spot... literally feels like you're walking in to a homeless man's doorway until you notice the little red light above the door and the candles going down the stairs as you open it. Super tight space so best for one-on-one dates or a small table of close friends. EXCELLENT margarita and I feel like the staff know what they're doing... I like to refer to these kinds of people as "gamers". I might be too old (and too far out of the service industry) to appreciate it as much as others, but it was a nice change from the usual go-to's :)

A super unique place in Vancouver for drinks! One of my favourites is the lavender one - highly recommended. It is a speakeasy that people should check out for the vibes, but don't expect anything that is jaw dropping in terms of the beverages. Just a cool place to chill and a bit off the unbeaten path.

If you're looking for a great ambiance this place definitely has that. Its a cool spot with mood lighting and the speak easy piece of it is awesome too. The drinks however were mediocre- not great but not bad either. I tried the Chocolate Old Fashioned and was a little underwhelmed. It was an okay old fashioned but the chocolate piece of it really didn't come through. We also got an long island iced tea and enjoyed it. It was refreshing. We came here for happy hour and their deals are amazing. We also liked the food for the price point (regular bar food/frozen food). The nachos are good. We went on a weekday so it was empty and the service was still sort of slow so unsure how it would be on a busy day. Overall, I would definitely come back here for the ambiance and the price point.

Great happy hour...Jason is great if you're lucky enough to get a drink from him.
I found is co-worker to be rude and not very friendly. She is very flippant and clearly doesn't like customer service. Also her drinks are sub par. She stopped me from checking if there were any seats on the patio even she allowed others....weird.
To be upfront this is a grunge bar...so I think that says everything about the ambiance lolHelpful 5Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Feb 27, 2019
Hipster lounge? Check. Secret entrance? Check. Street cred? Check.
Parking is available along Main at night.
This place was so hidden it literally took me 15 minutes of walking around. Contrary to the address, the entrance is on 3rd Avenue and NOT on Main. Hopefully this saves others a pile of time. Look for the red light bulb.
Once one goes through the extremely graffitied front corridor, it's onwards to a, well, narrow lounge. Hipster vintage decor, house-type music, and plenty of loud conversations.
The seating is rather limited here, and people kept walking and bumping into my friends me and me.
Beers aren't the cheapest, but some don't mind paying a few bucks for the ambience.
Staff are friendly and chill.
Definitely worth checking out, though personally I would prefer a more spacious venue.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
