    Amazing spot for a glass of wine or two or three ;) Happy hour was great and got a chance to try some new wines. Espresso martini was pretty good as well. The charcuterie was just ok for the price point. Stick to the alcohol!

    Came for Friday evening happy hour for two. Made a reservation online. Relatively quiet with just one other table occupied at 6pm. Ordered the vermouth while my date had a Peroni. The place eventually filled up closer to 7pm. Pros: - Friendly service. Was offered a generous sample of the rotating tap, which was appreciated. - Happy hour from 5 to 7, which is an hour longer than the other places on the Drive. Will have to come back to try the food. Notes: - The vibes. I came here once last January and I remember it being dimly lit with louder music and packed with patrons. It was also later in the evening. For this visit, it's definitely quieter with subtle jazz. Easy to hear across the table and comfortable seating.

    Authentically Spanish experience. Once again Vancouver Yelp stays sleeping on the best spots in the city. Music is fabulous, a side note. Also service is perfectly coursed. The fabulous: all the pintxos are perfect. I'm serious, anything you get will be jaw droppingly delicious. The gildas I ordered twice. Perfect bite. The compressed melon is extremely unusual. Tartare is a standout dish. Really fantastic. Vibey spot with quality. Hard to find these days. Loved the Iberico jamon - what's not to love? All cheeses we tried were amazing.

    What a lovely discovery. I had walked by this place a number of times and never stopped. Foolish…read moremistake! Four of us went for dinner and had the tasting menu. We weren't sure what to expect especially because the price was so reasonable. The food was absolutely delicious. Each course was innovative and delicious. The service was fantastic. Finn and our waitress both made it a memorable experience. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back. Highly recommend.

    We visited Bar Corso during happy hour. It was nice ambience and service was very good…read more What we ordered: Crostini - Wagyu(Wagyu tartar Smoked bone marrow emulsion, onion ash and pickles) Tonnato(Confit Albacone tunnel belly Fried capers) Stacciatella(house stracciatella, balsamic,Perl's and basil) Tapenade(olive, sun dried tomatoes, roasted pepper and Calabrian chill) Wagyu was the best. It was full of flavor and wagyu was tender. Great item. Tonnato was also good. Very solid item. I did not have stacciatella. Tapenade was sour side, with strong olive and roasted pepper flavors stand out. Vongole(savory clams, fermented Taragu mares chilli white wine and parsley, squid ink linguine) Highlight! Clam and Vongole sauce were very delicious! Squid ink linguine was also good. It was good to have sauce with bread. Bistecca(Babette steak, Amaro jus, garlic scapes, frisee and hazelnuts) This item was also very delicious. Medium rare steak was tender(a bit chewy) the garlic scapes, hazelnut and frisée combination was excellent. i really enjoyed having together with meat. Overall, I really liked this restaurant. I would like to visit late night next time.

    Awesome new cocktail/snack bar. Great food, great cocktails, great vibes…read more The cocktails we tried: - Suika - my favorite, with some savoury notes - papurika - tart and has a kick, reminiscent of a spicy marg - Sage - Mugicha The food we tried: - scallop crudo - deliciously seasoned - wagyu tartare - tasty and well seasoned - prawn toast - really good and caught me by surprise. The bread was softer and fluffier than I expected and the prawn seemed to be mixed into the batter - hen of the woods - great mushroom dish with a good amount of substance and a rich sauce with guanciale flavours coming through Service was attentive and friendly. My only minor critique is that it felt a little rushed, as they brought up a few times that we had the table for 90 minutes total. I wonder if it will get a bit more relaxed over time, as this would be a great place to linger over a few more rounds of drinks. Overall great new spot which I am looking forward to returning to!

    Man, for a Sunday night this place was packed, a reservation here is a must!…read more They have some really delicious and unique tasting cocktails. I like how the menu organizes them from light to strong. Items are on the pricier end but tapas are meant for sharing so it's probably best go with a group and try out a few items. I liked their croquettes the most but the sliders were actually delicious too and surpassed my expectations! I think their shrimp toast is pretty famous as well but I found it a bit dry.

    We had the best time at Odd Society, and I am still smiling two days later. Initially perplexed,…read moresince our Uber dropped us off one block away, we had no idea where we were in the dark of the Canadian night. Surrounded by warehouses, did the driver want us to experience a "call of the wild?" However, Odd Society beckoned one block from the corner, and two seats were available at the strange bar. Strange because our view was blocked by a kind of ersatz plastic and wood wagon wheel blocking our view of the servers and bar. It was reminiscent of Utah's Zion Curtain. Later, I was told it was part of Odd Society's Covid protection and helped the bartenders stack things up. Okay, fine, but tear the damn things down. They're obnoxious. Odd Society creates an array of liquors made from ingredients sourced locally by law. It's required by their license. I tried almost all of them, and most were fantastic. Abby and Colin, our servers, were charming, fun, and educational, answering my questions, which became increasingly inane as the alcohol took effect. The distillery also mixes fantastic cocktails, and mine, named Midori, was friggen unbelievable. I had two of them along with my liquor tasting. My Midori was made with a special concoction called Portuguese Sweet Milk, or something like that. It was amazing. I want one for breakfast. The fun kept coming, and I didn't want to leave. Alas, we had reservations at Lunch Lady up the street. We should have stayed at Odd Society. Lunch Lady was a disappointment. Try Odd Society out as both a distillery and cocktail bar. You won't be disappointed about either one.

    I have a friend who loves to drink so when he was back in town, I bookmarked this place to bring…read morehim to as I saw many great reviews and pictures. In summary, the place was ok, but noticed after the fact that we were overcharged for the drinks. It's a small space - about 3 high tables, one lower one, each seating 4 to maybe at most 5 people, plus a bar. I reserved a table for the 2 of us at 3:30 pm on a Sunday (earliest reservation they had as they open at 3 pm) and we were seated at 3 pm. They checked our vaccine passports and then seated us. Not long after we were seated, the remaining tables were all taken just after opening for 30 minutes so I would recommend reserving if you prefer tables over bar seating. The waitress brought over a drinks menu and food menu. The menu showed cocktails at $13. We chose our drinks and ordered, then the waitress came by with a second menu that she said was for Sunday only. She apologized and said she normally doesn't work Sunday's so she didn't know this promotional menu was available. This menu had some cocktails on promotion that I would have not minded to try, but I had already received my cocktail. Oh well. I had the Violet and Claire, which looked great and tasted pretty good for the first half. However by the second half of the drink, it started to taste too sweet. It was not bad for a cocktail, overall. My friend said the Smoke Between the Sheets cocktail was alright as well. We got our bills quickly as we had a second place to visit afterwards. After paying, I snapped a picture of the bill at the time but did not notice until I got home that to my surprise, each cocktail was listed on the bill at $14.95. I recalled their physical menu saying $13, and verified this with their menu online. Unfortunately, I did not notice the discrepancy until I was home, otherwise I would have mentioned something. Note that our visit was at the end of November 2021, and at the time I'm writing this review (December 26, 2021), their online menu still has cocktail prices at $13. So, I am not sure if this was a one time mistake when we paid, or if they have just forgotten to update their menu? Either way, this was disappointing. Because of the entire experience I probably won't visit again, especially with all the other options Vancouver has for cocktails.
