    Fountainhead hosted the registration party for our NAGVA volleyball tournament. Large and fun bar! Poutine fries are amazing and the selection on tap is stellar. Great place when enjoying downtown.

    The Fountainhead Pub is a chill gay bar in the Vancouver gay district. The bar was clean and the service was fast. The pub had a trendy modern look and a spacious outdoor covered patio. We ordered the nachos for two, they were good but the salsa was a lil different. I tasted like it was pickled salsa. It wasn't bad, just different. Overall we enjoyed the chill vibe and would definitely visit again.

    Thai chicken salad
    Courtney W.

    A very unassuming spot. We came here on a whim while walking around town. The service was great, we got seated right away and drinks delivered so quickly. The food was phenomenal. We had the Thai chicken salad, dumplings and fish tacos. I've been trying to recreate the Thai chicken salad once we got back to the states it was THAT good

    This skuzzy death metal bar used to be a strip club back in the day, and the mounted pedestals with…read moreshower nozzles are still located throughout the room, adding an authentic trashy vibe to the already filthy ambiance. The Cobalt is the lowest common denominator of bars in Vancouver, but it manages to take a certain pride in the dilapidated scenario. Typically full of punkish-goth kids, it serves extremely cheap beer and highballs, has ample seating and room for mosh pits, and comes off as unpretentious, in a "too good for good" sort of way. Many loud bands are given their first opportunity here, and many of the better ones return after achieving success for nostalgia's sake. Things can get out of hand, as conventional wisdom tends to get left behind in coat check, and obnoxious teenage drunks start doing whatever they want. I've even seen a band shoot whiskey filled super soakers out into the audience. This is actually the only place I ever did cocaine, taking it for the only time on one of the musty old cars parked out back. I had always envisioned doing blow with nice clothes, beautiful women, a mirror, and a rolled up hundred dollar bill, but the Cobalt was so exactly opposite that it seemed perfect.

    Stopped in for a drink with some friends at the Box Car, the extended bar to The Cobalt, on Friday…read morenight. It was a nice space, long and narrow giving it a cozy and intimate feeling. The long wooden bar dominated the space but was filled with an excellent variety of craft brew from all over Vancouver and BC. I really enjoyed the range of craft beer options, some included: Steel & Oak, Powell St., 33 Acres, Strange Fellows, Four Winds, and many more! There was also a great cocktail list that is keeping pace with craft cocktail explosion, particularly in Gastown/Chinatown. In this instance we got some cocktails "whipped up". Be careful what you wish for, in the best possible way. As the night went on it became a much more social some as people began to gather around the bar and fill up the space giving it a buzzing feeling. The bar staff were awesome! At tentative and accommodating. Will definitely go back. Ps there is a good truck outside so, when you need a snack...

This was fine with us since the goal was to have a couple of drinks and stuff ourselves with some burgers and fries from Hundy (the burger joint we needed to go through to get to Stock Room). I started with the dangerous liaison cocktail (beefeater gin, peach, lemon, sugar, butterfly pea flower). This was a solid drink, refreshing and hit the spot. My second drink was spreadsheet (beefeater, st. germain, lime, strawberry syrup, green strawberry bitters). I enjoyed this drink better as it wasn't too sweet and the flavor profile was more to my taste when it comes to cocktails. I'm happy to have found another bar to add to my list of places to grab a good drink in Vancouver.
