Although alcohol can be a bad thing in excess, when it’s enjoyed responsibly, it can really add a lot of fun to any experience. This rule is not exception when it comes to trips. Whether you want to relax on a business trip after a long day of making deals with people, or you want to take your significant other out for a fun night during a vacation, I always enjoy going out and exploring the nightlife when I’m in a different city.

Since it can sometimes be challenging to find a good place to go in a city that you don’t really know, I thought I would save some of your valuable time and provide you with several recommendations of great places to get a drink while you are in Vancouver:

Uva Wine Bar: While some people are intimidated by wine (because there are so many different choices, and wine enthusiasts have a reputation as being snobby), a place likeUva Wine Bar is perfect for people who aren’t very familiar with wine (and just as enjoyable for those who are). If you don’t know what to order, the helpful staff atUva Wine Bar will help you select a great bottle for you and anyone else with you to enjoy.

Brickhouse Late Nite Bistro & Bar: In addition to always having cold beer ready to serve, the Brickhouse Late Nite Bistro & Bar is a very comfortable place to hang out thanks to the large couches that they have.

The Fringe Cafe: If you are looking for a place where you can sit down with a drink and chips and salsa to munch on, you’ll enjoy whatever amount of time you end up spending at The Fringe Cafe.
