Barcelona Ultra Lounge

604 249-5151
The dance floor at Barcelona isn’t that big, but it is well ventilated so you don’t feel like you’re dancing in a sauna. The cover charge is rather steep.

Premier Gay Night Club
Cellar Restaurant and Jazz Club

Commodore Ballroom
870 Granville Street
604 739-4550

Railway Club

604-681-1625
With a focus on local live music and a nice selection of beers, the Railway Club is a nice downtown find. The clientele is refreshingly unpretentious.
Roxy Night Club

This place is popular; you have to wait in line to get in unless you arrive early. The rock music is enjoyed by a white clientele, and the cover charge is reasonable.

The Waldorf was a going concern when it opened 63 years ago. It has been renovated into a multi-purpose venue which includes contemporary art, music, food and special events.
