3 Best Bars in West End, Vancouver

True to its name, this gay hot spot has had celeb cred since the 1980s. Expect to find a young, scantily clad crowd bumping and grinding to club hits, house, electronic, and Top 40 on a huge dance floor equipped with the latest in sound, lighting, and visuals. Men and women are welcome.

An icon in the gay community and with one of the largest street-side patios on Davie Street, absolutely everyone is welcome. So do as the locals do here: sit back, down a few beers, enjoy the lively atmosphere, and watch the beautiful people pass by.

This veteran of the Davie Street strip features three levels of furious fun, from nightly DJs to karaoke, darts, and pool. There's dancing, too.
