3 Best Nightlife in Victoria, British Columbia
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Victoria right now.
Victoria's nightlife is low-key and casual, with many wonderful pubs, but a limited choice of other nightlife. Pubs offer a casual vibe for lunch, dinner, or an afternoon pint, often with a view and an excellent selection of beer. The pubs listed here all serve food, and many brew their own beer. Patrons must be 19 or older to enter a bar or pub in British Columbia, but many pubs have a separate restaurant section open to all ages. The city is enjoying a resurgence of cocktail culture, with several of Victoria's trendier restaurants doubling as lounges, offering cocktails and small plates well into the night. Dance clubs attract a young crowd and most close by 2 am. A dress code (no jeans or sneakers) may be enforced, but otherwise, attire is casual. Smoking is not allowed in Victoria's pubs, bars, and nightclubs—this applies both indoors and on patios.
Lucky Bar
Downtown
A veteran of Victoria's nightclub scene, Lucky's draws DJs, live bands, and a friendly younger crowd of locals who make the most of Lucky's great sound system and dance floor.
Vista 18
Downtown
You can take in lofty views of the city at this lounge on the 18th floor of the Chateau Victoria Hotel. By day, the interior feels a bit bland. By night, the atmosphere takes on a different vibe, albeit on the conservative side, with live music on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
