Horrible!! The bouncers power trip and the service was horrible. this place was not worth going to. Save your money. I also seen the bouncers start an altercation with a group of guys. They need to be fired very unprofessional. read more

Hello Goodbye had some good drinks and nice booth seating areas, but that is probably the only positive things I have to say about this place. Hello Goodbye was very tricky to find and the girl at the front was barely any help. I mean, I just feel like this is the spot for 19-year-olds who want to party semi-privately, half-naked and with layers and layers of make-up. It's a hip spot so I guess it's popular? read more

A hidden spot that is absolutely worth checking out! I visited Hello Goodbye for an event I hosted and they went ABOVE and BEYOND all that was asked for which made for a very memorable night. The bartenders created delicious cocktails and their happy hour is a great deal for such a delicious drink. Check them out for your next happy hour or date night! You won't regret it read more

Hello Goodbye - Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I heard about this place from an article in the Daily hive, which pointed out they have a happy hour from 6-8pm Wednesdays through Saturdays. $6 beer, $7 wine, and $8 cocktails plus dollar dumplings ($4 for a steamer basket containing 4 dumplings, either prawn, chicken, pork, or veggie). The dumplings are a little on the small side and aren't the best I've had compared to dim sum places in the area, but they're also not terrible. I went to check it out with 4 others on a Wednesday around 7pm, and the place was almost deserted - just one other couple besides us in our corner booth. It's hard to find too; there's no obvious signage, and you have to enter through an unmarked red door in a corridor beside a barber shop. Head down some stairs and there's another unmarked door, and suddenly you're in a pretty cool looking little bar with booths along one wall, small tables along the other, and room for dancing in the middle. According to the waitress, it gets busy later in the evening (9pm and later) and is more of a late night club, though a slightly older age range, she estimated normally around 25-45. They have live music and DJs on the weekends, and the booths go for $600 with bottle service vodka. Yikes! The house wine was good and the cocktails we tried were delicious and definitely generous on the alcohol side - just one glass of wine and one cocktail and I had a headache in the morning! Prices definitely would add up outside of happy hour however. If you're into trendy little late night dance clubs definitely check this place out, especially on a Friday when they have the live music. read more

A hidden spot in Yaletown that is definitely worth checking out! I'm glad one of my friends told me to check this place out during my short visit to Vancouver. They apparently have happy hour until 10pm but only found out when I arrived that they didn't have it on Saturday. The place was pretty small and empty when I went, but it slowly filled up after 11. I don't know what my friend ordered me but it was this special moscow mule drink and IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I really liked the vibe of this place and loved that they played hip-hop as well! read more

Saturday night was girls night so we thought we would check this place out. It's a little tricky to find! It's located beside Barber and Co, down a set of red stars. There was no door person parked outside until about 10pm. We came early, 8:30ish to enjoy some happy hour time, which is 8-10 pm. Drinks are $8 for cocktails, wine $7, beer $4. Dumplings are $1/per. There ware a few different kinds (chicken, prawn ect) but that is it for food. Place is very small, much smaller than I was expecting, but very cool interior. Booths running along the walls, all of which were reserved. Dim lighting and modern. Large open space in the center I assume they use for dancing later on. Annoyed, because I wanted to try their dumpling while I relaxed and drank a few bevies. I'm not a stand and eat kind of person. There was one table for people standing that fit about two or three people. There easily could have been a few more tables with bar stools to accommodate guests. They removed all the bar seats in front of the bar so there were only about 5 on the side. I dunno why. I see doing it at like 11 if it's busy and u want bartending space. There was only one guy tending and it was dead so.... It was pretty quiet still, with no where to sit and 90% of the reserved seating empty, we decided to try a drink then leave. Drinks were just okay. Overly sweet for sure, which I did read in previous reviews. Regular prices are like $14 ect. I tried the Starboy which is basically an old fashioned made with Henneay. Way too sweet and too much ice, which made it difficult to drink. I would try again if I could reserve a table. It would be nice if there was more space, seats and food. read more

We were looking for a spot that played good hip hop music and this place did not disappoint. The bartenders were attentive and made good drinks. Sexy security guards too! I was told by one of them that it was a slow night but it was packed enough for me. If you see Barber&Co go back you've gone too far. Mandatory $5 coat check, take a picture of your ticket in case you lose it. It's warm in there so you definitely won't need your coat. Nice, friendly staff, great music, interesting crowd, definitely recommend. read more

We got here early, and they were nice enough to waive cover since we were here for a bachelorette party. It was pretty quiet just before 10pm, but there was live music from a super talented guy. Bartenders were super nice. We ended up getting table service, which was somewhere in the $300-400 range USD for a bottle of Bulleit, which costs like $20 at home, but we got the whole table and seating area for the night, which was nice. Plus they were really good about bringing us more water, limes, diet coke, etc. The DJ came on after a while, and music was great. All the staff was super friendly, and they even have a really happy guy directing the bathroom, which was nice. I would definitely come back. read more

I love coming here this place is lit. Good music, interesting drink menu and great crowd. The bartenders are always helpful.

This past weekend a new cocktail alchemy - Hello Goodbye unveiled in Yaletown. The mastermind behind the curtain is Jonathan "Johnny" Richard, one of Vancouver's top mixology talent who previously took helm at the Gold Bar at Vancouver club. Some of his award-winning creatives includes Curiositorium: hand made cucumber puree, basil syrup and cucumber water come together to create a perfectly refreshing cocktail, and Smokey Pear: Bourbon based, freshly squeezed lemon juice, spiced poach pear red wine compote, smoked cinnamon syrup, tiny bit of maple syrup, and caramelized hazel-nut. Therefore come to expect and appreciate the creativity. The vibe? Cool urban hangout without the pretentiousness, just good friends and some laughs over awesome cocktails. Cheerio! read more

Was everything I was hoping for. They have an incredible drink list menu that is to die for. I wish my alcohol tolerance was higher because I could have stayed here all night and tried all of them. A little gem that's hidden away in Yaletown, will definitely be back. Soon. read more

SO DISAPPOINTED. Bartender kept forgetting we had already paid for our drinks/food... and I had even tipped him over 40%. It took 45min to get our dumplings. Didn't start to get busy till maybe 11pm? And even then, the crowd was interesting... It was a group of 5 of us girls that had been there spending money all night and then they didn't let our sixth girlfriend in to join us and told us even if she waited in line that she wouldn't get in. WTF?! For 6 girls??? Worst service. Side note: wasn't IDed and they free-poured. Not impressed. This is why I don't like Vancouver. We loved the cocktails and the live music performer, so it was sad to see the service being so rude, which is why I won't be going back nor supporting this spot. read more

I came here back in May (catching up on reviews). One of my guy friends recently got fired and was having a tough time at work before then. He suggested this place. To be honest it is not my scene in terms of relaxation in terms of decor but I get it and I see why this is one of the new trends in downtown Vancouver. I was there for the company. They're a cocktail bar with a very good menu and selection of drinks. Of course he had a few drinks. I don't drink alcohol, however, they were more than willing and friendly about making me an imaginative virgin cocktail. I am not picky, therefore, I left the creativity in the hands of the bartender. It was mostly citrus based. The service was very friendly and the prices were at market value with all other drinks in the city. read more

Staff ( door, bar, server, manager) were delightful. I happened to go on a Friday night around 9pm and there was live music. Awesome little venue. Awesome cocktails. Only downside, gosh it's expensive. read more

Cool place, fun atmosphere and great drinks! Definitely recommend for a date night or cocktails with friends.

The place was cool and had a really good vibe! Came here to celebrate my friends birthday and we had a quick bite and stayed for drinks and ordered a bottle. The drinks are amazing. Prices are fairly high though. This place turns into a club at night so it gets really fun. The dim sum is okay, not great -the shrimp dim sum which is usually good other places- was not good and I'd actually recommend the beef one. Overall, I'd say it's a great place to come for a birthday of just a fun night out for drinks not for food! read more

Awesome place! Drinks are delicious and vibe was laid back. Great decor and dumplings were announced very surprise! Bonjour 3.0 and Jungle Rules was amazing! Worth getting lost to find this place! read more

Honestly one of the rudest experiences I've ever had in my life, was waiting outside in the freezing cold while the bouncer continually let his friends in over the people waiting in line. They were at capacity so it was limited and people were waiting in line 30 min + while the bouncer let his friends in. Very rude. Should be a policy in place about this. Just saying I would except more from this establishment. read more

Very good happy hour 8-10pm and bumping music! Bartenders were friendly and quick. Starts to get busy around 10:30/11pm. The aesthetic of this place is super chic and cozy. The bar is in the basement of the building so go through the propped door and down the stairs to enter through a black unlabeled door. Must try the bonjour 4.0 drink!!!! read more

One of the worst bar/ entertainment venues in Vancouver. They will not let you in unless you tip someone off. Friends off bouncers skip that line that everyone has been waiting in for over an our. Rude stuff and very expensive once inside. Dead inside with no chance of a good night. Do not bother with this hole. read more

Great Yaletown gem that is tucked away in the hallway across from Barber and Co. A mix of booths and tables with plenty of open space - lots of people standing or dancing and just a great casual vibe in here. There was a guy playing guitar this Friday night and seriously grooving and singing. Excellent staff from the servers to bar to door were all on it and making sure everyone had a great time. Shh don't tell anyone about this place! read more

Door lady was rude and on her phone. Didn't check ID. Service was terrible, waited forever for the one bar tender who wasn't helping anyone else. Also waited over 45 mins for our dumpling order that was soggy and salty. Don't even get me started about the bouncers. They didn't let ONE girl in, when all 6 of her girls were already inside. Not coming back here. If you are looking for a place to be disappointed this is it. read more

Super nice bar, feels like you're somewhere in New York. Only issue is that it's very difficult to find. There's zero signs and I walked around for ages trying to figure it out before finally having to ask someone in the building. That's my biggest issue, but I suppose it adds to the exclusivity of it all. It's very nice, very expensive, but nice to go to treat yourself and friends! Highly recommend. read more

Let me start with that we only spent 2 hours there, during the happy hour on a wednesday evening. The Happy Hour is great!!!! Tax is included in the prices which I love. Delicious cocktails were $8, Wine $7, Beer $6 and $1 dumplings. Awesome deal, I think. We loved the atmosphere. Not many people, it looks more like a secret vip room for parties. I liked the decor. I will try to visit on a friday night or a saturday, although it is a but pricey and they recommend bottle service which is $600 including 2 bottles. I loved the secretive, hidden spot idea :D read more

the place it really hidden you have to find the black door and then it goes down a flight of red stairs. i tried the bonjour and jungles cocktails and they were both very delicious! probably the best alcohol i've tasted so far in yaletown because it was sweet and not to strong for a newbie like me. i also tried the spanish banks and adult swim which were good as well but a bit too much alcohol for the taste for my preference. it all went down smoothly though and i was very happy with the service as well! and they had vegetable dumplings that were boiled and those were very good too. will bring my friends from the states here again! read more

The cocktails are so f*cking delicious. That's really all you need to know. A great spot for after dinner.

Nice place to get the underground bar experience in yaletown. It is pretty small and gets packed. The music is hip hop/rap. They could do better with the music for sure! I loved their spinach pattys, soo tasty! read more

Place is dope!! So buys on the weekends and such a unique atmosphere for YT, loved it!! Most attractive room I have been to in a minute.

My first experience at this place last weekend for my birthday was amazing. The drinks were yummy, cool crowds, very friendly chatty bathroom attendant :) he was awesome. Great music. My friends and i had a fab time. The only reason im giving it a 4 star is due to the managers attitude. He was very rude. Was yelling at people. And just in a very bad mood for a fun place like this bar. As long as u dont run into the manager u ll have an amazing time here :) read more

We were dealing with MICKY VALENS and hes a rookie promoter. I will NEVER go to Hello Goodbye again because of the way we were treated and since he cant prortize his reservations. I reserved a vip booth for 3 bottles for my sisters birthday. When we got there it took us forever to get in the club cause they were "overwhelmed" with the amount of people who showed up at the same time for bottle service. When we FINALLY got inside MICKY gave us a table that seats 4-5 people.. there were 10 of us lol. He said that people stand around anyways but hows that his decision to make? I then stated we should all fit COMFORTABLY and he obviously had nothing to say. I told him we had a reservation for the VIP BOOTH and he said he couldnt accommodate us due to ALL the booths being sold out since we showed up later. In our emails he told me to come "12:30 latest" it was 11:30 when we showed up. Anyone would think they have untill 12:30 to show up and after that our booth would be given away which is fair. When i confronted him, he was super rude and not willing to accommodate us. When i asked him why he couldnt have let me know the vip booth that i RESERVED was sold out he looked at me threw his hands up and said no i couldnt and shruged his shoulders. How does that make sense? When i said were not going to stay he said okay , threw his hand in my face and said you can leave and walked away. We obviously left and spent our money else where. We went to cabana for bottle service and had alot of fun and they even threw in bottles of champagne/shots after we told them what happened at this wack bar. So i owe it to MICKY for messing up since we had a way better time at cabana. Take my advice and never ever deal with this guy, he has no idea what hes doing. And if you do, be there before the club opens because you wont be guaranteed your reservation. read more

This place had a nice, cozy ambiance and the drink menu was creative and extensive. (great variety between refreshing, and liquor forward cocktails) We had a seat at the bar in the corner, and the bartender was attentive and service was good. Overall a fun experience and worth checking out. read more

Was on a day trip to Vancouver for work and wanted to get some drinks and do some people watching. Drove around for about 30min looking and could not find anything so that's when I decided to get some assistance online. Found the door and the hostess walked us down. Once inside I was surprised at the room, the place was small but very cool, comfortable seats, good lighting and really cool music. The staff was very nice and cocktails were delicious! read more

Visiting Vancouver during my 20s and now 30s, I finally got a chance to find a cool bar for people my age. When we showed up to the hidden door (that was propped open) through the brick wall, there was a small lineup outside. We were greeted by a man who was friendly and well dressed. There was a 10-15min wait as he said they were having capacity issues. My friends and I each ordered something different off the cocktail menu. The server was very knowledgeable about the cocktails and tried to cater to what we liked. There was a DJ and the music was good, a lot of 90's R&B, indie and hip hop. The crowd was cool but then it got really busy after midnight. I recommend going earlier. A great little speakeasy/lounge to go with a small group to have good drinks and great conversation! read more

Bouncer said they were over capacity but if we reserve a table at that moment ($100/person) they can let us in. Otherwise, bouncer will tell you to come back between 15mins-1hr on a Friday night (~930pm). When we came back after 15 mins, they said only 4 out of 7 in our group can come in because of overcapacity, so when 3 of my friends decided to just leave, they let 4 of us in and at the same time, 4 other people who just lined up were able to enter. Not sure why they were overcapacity for 7 people but not 8 people? Once inside, it was not busy. No cover, but mandatory $5 coat check. read more

The absolute worst most rude obnoxious bar experience of my life. Buddy bought 4 drinks for some friends, brought them over, and one was sparking water with a little bit of ginger ale. So went to the bartender and explained and he denied me claiming that my full glass of liquid was some Random drink. Asian dude, buzzed head, muscular. I asked to speak to the manager and he refused. read more

This cocktail bar is super unique! Love the atmosphere and friendly staff. Went to an open mic on Tuesday and the performers were amazing! Its really great if you want to go out with your girlfriends for some drinks. read more
