Party places in Vancouver
Parties are one of the best parts of life. They’re a great opportunity to catch up with friends and family, celebrate special occasions, and just get together with people you love. But sometimes it can be hard to find a place that’s perfect for your party needs. That’s where we come in!
When you’re looking for a good time, there are plenty of places to go. Here are some of our favorite party spots!
A bar – If you want to get drunk and put on some serious dance moves, a bar is the place for you. But it’s not just about drinking: bars are also space for meeting new people, having fun with your friends, and making memories.
A pool hall – If you’re looking to get competitive or just hang out with your buddies, a pool hall is the place for you. You can play games like billiards or snooker, enjoy drinks and food at the bar, and even watch sports on TV if that’s your thing!
A club – Clubs are great because they’re open late (or all night long!) and offer a lot of different activities like dancing, karaoke nights, live music performances from local bands/singers/musicians… basically anything goes at clubs! You could even see yourself getting into trouble here if you’re feeling adventurous enough… maybe even meet someone special?
There are a number of places in your city that are great for parties. Some places are filled with fun activities for the kids and others have great food and drinks.
Are you looking for a place to have your party? Look no further! Here’s a list of some of the best party places in Vancouver:

Hipster Nightlife & Live Music on Main Street / SoMa

ADDRESS4210 Main St, Vancouver, BC V5V 3P9, Canada
PHONE +1 604-709-8555
WEB Visit website
Vancouver’s Main Street has long been considered hipster-central, and the nightlife on Main and SoMa (South Main) has a hipster appeal: it’s casual and relaxed, focused on music and atmosphere rather than style and decor, and substantially less “meat market” than the clubs in the downtown core. (In fact, you may find it difficult to meet people at the night spots on Main.)
