Great band at The Roxy.
Sandra M.

We returned to The Roxy since Covid to listen to more live music. At the entrance the bouncers checked for Covid Passports. They were extremely respecful and patient when denying some patrons entry and handled the line up well. The service at the bar was so super, Everett the bar tender was also friendly and respectful and generous with the drinks. He had good energy to serve the public. The drinks were satisfying as they usually are. The live music was also incredible , both bands had the customers mesmerized. The crowd was friendly, fun, respectful and all ages so anyone would feel comfortable here. A clean, safe happy environment that I am happy to return to.

Haven't been here in ages. Well last time here was probably like 4 years ago. So went back recently but that is because it was a celebration for my sister. So it was one of those accounting night. Yes that is the only time I would really come here. Once a year kind of thing. So nothing has changed since 4 years ago. Its still very loud and very crowded. Loud music is a must. It has a bar near the entrance and it curves around to the side of the wall. There is a live band. So its not just a DJ playing music like the other clubs. People dance in front of the stage. I would say out of most of the bar I like this one because not many has a live band.

Its official. This is my favorite bar in all of Vancouver. It's also the bar for all the other bartenders and wait staff I notice from other bars. (Shhhh....don't tell their managers...oh wait sometimes I see them here too!). The bands are great and keeps the party bumping. Special Mention to the new band Tattoo Alibi and Troy's R Us whom can play basically anything and keep the party bumping. The dance floor is large enough and always busy and there's always something to do around the bar. You'll find table hockey and phone chargers at the side bar, pool tables and photo booths in the back bar. I always have a good time here. Even on a bad night I always end up feeling better ending my nights here. The song that I use to describe this bar would be Toby Keith's I love this bar because I love this bar! Everyone is nice and friendly, my favorite bartenders include Cat, Stephanie, Michelle, Sasha, Joe, Everette, Irv, Jaralin, everyone here is awesome. Special mention to Cat whom's in the back bar. (The music is bumping in the main room, but the party is in the back bar with the pool tables and photo booth where conversations are easier. Plus grab your friends or some other patrons and ask Cat for a game of who am I and she'll gladly oblige. For those that don't know what game that is, watch inglorious bastards. It's the game in the basement before everyone gets shot up.) Randy keeps the show running, Jarrad and Danielle always have some great promo nights planned. It's pretty awesome. Special mention to all the bouncers whom are all nice friendly and welcoming people (unless of course they have to take action.) This bar is pretty much the busiest bar on Granville every night of the week including weekdays. The porters are all friendly, Franco, Alex, Dhillon. Tjana and Mara are always great in coat check and Ashleigh and Darcy have always been friendly at the front. This place has earned it, 5 stars to the Roxy and their wonderful staff.

Finally had a chance to see what THE Roxy was all about. Knock another one off the bucket list. Parking is horrendous here. Try the side streets far away. The venue looks like it has been added to and modified over the years. There is a stage one side, and 3 (yes, 3) bars from which one can purchase alcoholic beverages. For a more quiet experience, the 3rd bar is tucked away in the back, behind the 2nd bar. There is a pool table there too. The night I went, there was a cowboy band playing. Actually not bad at all. Once they got the tunes going, the dance floor quickly filled up. Once in a while, they let groups of ladies up on the stage as well. The music is loud, but not blow-your-eardrums loud, which is a nice change compared to other Vancouver clubs. One can actually somewhat have a conversation here. Drinks were a bit pricey, but it's a club after all. Definitely a good time.

Sundays at the Roxy seem to be the place to go! It's Country night, Yahoo!! I'm so not a country girl, but they do a great job at playing lively country with a lot of rock cross-over and a touch of this and that to keep all entertained! The thing I really enjoy about the Roxy is the live entertainment. Again, even though Country is not my personal favorite, there are so many good groups that play here its easy to enjoy the Country, most of it anyhow. It's an older looking bar and it's definitely a little "dive like" but a fun and respectable dive bar. The bathrooms are always working and fairly clean with toilet paper, unlike most "Dive bars" in Van. They have pleasant door staff/cashiers. In fact, I was very impressed the cash lady picked up on it being my birthday week and waved my cover! Nicely done!! That was much appreciated. Fair amount of seats with tables and booths, if you get there early enough! You also get a good mix with the crowd, both in age and style. I appreciate that and it usually shines through in a solid venue. In reality, everyone is different, but we all just wanna get tipsy and have a good time listening to awesome tunes! The also have a pool table at the back bar which we all wait patiently to play.

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.

The drinks were unique and delicious, the food (though we didn't order any from being full from dinner) looked incredible, and nearly every party around us had ordered something.

Balanced, flavorful, and the kind of cocktails that make you want to linger a little longer. My husband and I tried a couple of stellar cocktails: Dr. Greenthumb (10/10), Smoked Old Fashion (9/10), Hibiscus Spritz (9/10) and a shot of Michter with draught beer for drinks. We paired them with a charcuterie board "Bart's board' that came loaded with three types of cheese, a nice selection of meats, pickles and plenty of crackers to go around. Everything was fresh and thoughtfully put together. We also enjoyed the bar nuts! Other food items on the menu sound absolutely delicious but we wanted to wait for dinner. The vibe here is just lovely with warm lighting, a cool atmosphere, and the kind of ambience that makes conversation easy and fun. Perfect for a date night, casual social event with friends/coworkers. The servers really made the experience though--attentive, kind, and quick without ever rushing us. Definitely a place I'd come back to again (and again). Happy hour at Bartholomew is highly recommended!

I throughly enjoyed both of my mocktails; blush hour and another drink that isn't normally on their menu that had ginger. My favorite hors d'oeuvre was hands down the scallop. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We were offered a 5 course meal, thai soup was amazing.

Everything on the HH menu is $5 3-6pm and all day Wednesday. We also got the meatball appetizer and the Baccala on toast. Bartender was friendly enough, gave some recommendations where to go for dinner. But then a very large party was being seated at the adjacent restaurant that the bar seems to also serve, and she got tied up pretty bad. We did see a couple come in and wait for a pretty long time and then just take off. And then the bar was closed for this private party at 7pm, and we had sort of planned on a nightcap after dinner in there.

If you're looking for a comfortable,quiet, and cosy bar this is not the place for you. This is a place where Vancouverites get dressed up in their finest dark washed jeans. Am I being facetious - yes I am...but lets face it that's what passes for high fashion in this city. Celebrity sightings are not totally uncommon here, the servers are all friendly and quick to bring your drinks, and you're guaranteed plenty of beautiful people eye-candy. It's also a bar targeting a slightly more mature age group with their larger disposable income - so no annoying teeny boppers knocking back B-52's here and whoohooing it up. One shocking thing I discovered on my last visit to OPUS Bar, was that they aren't allowed to do "real" bottle service there. So if you order a bottle of Goose for the table, be prepared to have your server take it away and bring it back out only when requested or when glasses start to go empty - thankfully Champagne & Wine are exempt from this strange rule.
