"With an unassuming storefront a block off Main Street, Under Bar captures a bit of the underdog spirit of Vancouver itself. Step down a short flight of stairs into an underground clubhouse that lands somewhere between a retro speakeasy, a VFW hall, and a friend’s basement living room. This queer-friendly oasis boasts Sunday drag brunches, karaoke nights, trivia nights, and open mic nights, as well as professional standup. The kitchen offers serviceable flatbread pizzas, and the specialty cocktails (and mocktails) are among the ’Couve’s most compelling." - Nathan Williams
