When I was first exposed to hookah, Wagdy's was the first place I used to go to and absolutely…read moreloved it compared to some other places I'd been exposed to at the time. I have no idea why I stopped going here but I slowly did. Had no issues with the hookah, place or people who worked there. However, about 1 - 2ish (?) years ago, I went back and had really nice time. However, when I left, I felt so sick after. My legs became jelly and when I got home, I was just so sick in the stomach. I'm not really sure what happened as I have not had any issues with any hookah from anywhere else.

Granville street is awful right now, everyone you go, you have to wait in a line for an hour, and…read morethen they force you to stay at one table and buy expensive drinks. The Heaven is lowkey one of my favorite spots on Granville, because they got $4 dollar dranks! And good quality too, like $4 dollar draft beers, $4 Jameson shots, every weekend. It's right next to the Belmont which always has a huge line, and also right next to the strip club. This is almost like a little gem tucked away on Granville. I like how the wait is less than 5 minutes, I think that's great, feel like most people don't really know about this place. The owner is a bit emotional, a bit hot an cold, I have seen him be rude to other people, but I have been there too many times to know he's a good guy and just wears his heart on his sleeve. The food here is typical bar food, I would not get food here, the one time I got poutine it looked like slop. If I were doing this review based off food it would be one star. But I like the vibe here, the low wait times, and most importantly the $4 drankssss.

Definitely skip the highballs and stick to the shots or beers. Wait staff was friendly. The male waitstaff seemed a bit stressed and got a little annoyed when you repeatedly asked to order something--and they failed to acknowledge that they heard you. Decent place for drinks with friends. Plenty of screens to catch games. Didn't try the food. Thought about it but it was really busy. They have cellphone chargers at the bar...might come in handy--looked like lightning cable though.

This Japanese restaurant is located inside the Fairmont Pacific Rim, right across from the…read moreVancouver Convention Centre, making it especially convenient if you're in town for meetings or conferences. There's even an underground connection between the buildings, which is a huge plus on a rainy Vancouver day. The restaurant is spacious with a beautiful atmosphere, and the service was excellent--professional, attentive, and efficient. I wouldn't come here expecting a truly authentic Japanese dining experience, but it's a very pleasant place for a business lunch or a relaxed meal. I ordered the bento for lunch, and it was actually a very good portion with a nice variety of items. The nigiri and rolls were okay--not particularly memorable--but everything was nicely presented. Overall, I'd come back more for the convenience, service, atmosphere, and solid lunch options than for authentic Japanese cuisine.

I can imagine it gets very loud when busy though considering how much sound echoed. Only reason I can't give it a 5 is because of how pricey it is.

He did his job, but he wasn't the friendliest/warmest. The lounge itself was the highlight for me. It's trendy without being over the top and the bar area is really nice, There are plenty of TVs for catching a game, and there are enough seating options to tuck yourself away in a corner if that's more your vibe. Overall, I enjoyed it and would stop in again the next time I'm staying at the Paradox.
