Vancouver's Top Nightclubs

The Roxy Cabaret

Blessed with a top spot in Granville Street's Entertainment District—it's easy to bar-hop all along Granville, before or after hitting The Roxy—this is one Vancouver institution that hasn't lost any of its celebrity cred. The Roxy is a dance club, live entertainment venue, and beer commercial come to life. Get there early or face long lines!

Celebrities Nightclub

The biggest and best gay nightclub in Vancouver, Celebrities deserves its reputation for outrageous parties, hot DJs and dance nights you won't forget.

It's easy to bar-hop around Celebrities, too: it's located in Davie Village in the West End, which is home to Vancouver's Best LGBTQ+ Nightlife. Start at the west end of Davie Street and work your way towards Burrard Street to hit up bars and clubs on your way to Celebrities. 

Opus Bar

The Opus Bar—part of the Opus Hotel—is the pinnacle of Yaletown's nightlife. Uber-fashionable and upscale, this celebrity haunt boasts gourmet cocktails and "O bites" and live music from some of Vancouver's best DJs. This is a very "see and be seen" scene. It's a small space in between the hotel lobby and La Pentola restaurant so you may want to make a reservation or come earlier to get a seat at the bar. 

Bar None

One of Yaletown's hottest nightspots—which means it's inevitably hip and trendy—the Bar None is part dance club, part lounge, and always crowded on weekends.

The Fortune Sound Club

Located in historic Chinatown, this local favorite boasts a powerful sound system, good DJs, a very attractive crowd, and a mix of live shows, techno, and hip-hop. The monthly Hip-Hop Karaoke night is a lot of fun and the club attracts big rap names when they are on tour in Vancouver. 

Harbour Event Centre

Vancouver's self-proclaimed 'super club', the Harbour Event Centre attracts top name DJs and musical acts. The large space includes a state-of-the-art dancefloor that features hi-tech sound and LED lighting, as well as CO2 cannons and confetti. 

The Biltmore Cabaret

The Biltmore has been a pub and musical venue for more than 50 years but it had a renovation in 2007 to become the Biltmore Cabaret and now the just-off-Main Street mainstay hosts touring musical and arts acts in a club that is popular with the alternative crowd. 

Fox Cabaret

Previously a porn theatre, the Fox Cabaret is a hotspot for 90s hip hop nights, 80s proms, and comedy nights and this red-hot nightclub on Main Street. It's always a casual mixed crowd and is ideal for a sweaty late-night dance but be prepared for a line up on a Friday or Saturday night. Alternative club nights include  the monthly Nerd Nite, a series of science-based discussions and Sunday Service, a long-form improv show.
