The Portside Pub - Vancouver

A decent place to get a drink or two has a east coast vibe with live music...after 930 a DJ takes

Great time had by our entire group on Saturday night once we passed the front doors. This is the biggest downfall of this place is the bouncers that are outside. We were on guest list and still waited 45 mins to an hour while the main bouncer would take cash from others wanting to skip the line. Not saying l never pull stuff like this but getting to see this while we waited in the guest list line was not cool. Also was informed that 2 of my friends went outside for a quick smoke break and were told to wait in the guest list line after already receiving stamps and having coat check stickers. Once again Great time had once we were inside but holy smokes the bouncers outside make it tough to wanna wait and not just go somewhere else

Great place to meet others, listen to great live music and DJs as well as play pool. The employees here have been tremendously welcoming and I've always felt comfortable here. Definitely for the later nightlife more tuned to a younger crowd, but there are still nights where millennials and older can come and have fun like their karaoke night. It's also situated near a bunch of other great venues so as long as you have a stamp you can crawl gastown and have a fun experience.It is by far my favorite place to go to and I'm incredibly picky.Parking: Come after 10 and street parking is free, otherwise convenient garage a block up gastown. Otherwise taxis and Ubers are constantly circling to pick up bar patrons.Kid-friendliness: It's a bar.Wheelchair accessibility: I can't imagine this place is wheelchair accessible. It's one weakness. 3 tiers of stairs to access the space. Historic buildings aren't very accommodating. Bathrooms would be if it weren't again for the stairs.

These nachos are divine. For the best experience get like 3 beers and get nachos on the third beer. Just

Great vibes and great music. Not too clubby but not too pubby
