"Grapes and Soda isn’t really a place you stumble across since it’s down a random street in Kitsilano, but it is somewhere you should seek out. Come here for their natural wine list, or a cocktail with things like sassafras smoke, kombucha, or salty rice. Their drink list is constantly changing, but we’ve never been disappointed here. The whole place isn’t much bigger than a single-car garage, so get there early to get a seat, and if you’re hungry, they also have a great charcuterie board, small plates like salmon rillettes and fried octopus, and a few dessert options." - Shelley Mason

"GO HERE: for Grapes & Soda’s quirky variety of natural wines and bartender Satoshi Yonemori’s innovative and precise cocktail list. ORDER THE: daily cocktail special by Yonemori and any British Columbian wines recommended by the knowledgeable staff. The list changes frequently, but keep an eye out for Bella, a natural sparkling wine producer in the Okanagan Valley, and Little Farm Winery in the Similkameen Valley, a single vineyard producer of Chardonnay and Riesling. They also have a small but appealing selection of Scotch. If you’re feeling peckish, snack on the smartly sourced cheese and charcuterie board or belly up for the small seasonally based dinner menu. THE VIBE IS: cramped and cozy, with bottles everywhere and industry vets at the six-seat bar or few tables, which have drawers for cell phones. It’s a subtle reminder to be present and enjoy what’s in your glass. PRACTICAL STUFF: Open Tuesday to Saturday, from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. (with happy hour between 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.). Closed Sunday and Monday. No reservations. —Lindsay Anderson" - Condé Nast

A good place for small parties, small menu, and small plates (ie, nice and pricey). Reservations recommended especially if you’re planning to visit on the weekend. Love their concept of a daily cocktail special + all natural wine bar. The food we ordered was all cooked to good quality and creativity. The nuoc mam sun chokes stood out! Chefs knew what they were doing with that fish sauce. Service was good. On a Saturday night, we didn’t feel rushed at all like some of the reviews have mentioned. Not saying it didn’t happen to other patrons, just that G&S likely responded to this feedback which reflects well on them. As I mentioned, this is one of those places where everything is fashionably tiny and pricey. Would return and recommend. Just know what you’re in for! For one drink each + three small plates, it was about $50/pp.

Very cozy dim and moody cocktail bar atmosphere which I enjoyed. It's a nice place to sit down with a friend, co worker or romantic and have a conversation. The atmosphere is more suited for smaller rather than larger groups. Friendly and attentive service. A little on the pricey side for what you get. Cocktails were very enjoyable.

Love this place! First time here and it felt like a FIND! My dining partner thought so too. It was recommended by a friend who knows Vancouver, so I shouldn't have been surprised. The daily cocktail I had (they had two on the boards) was one of the best drinks I have ever had and I have confidence that's likely going to be true with most drinks I will likely get here in the future. The food was unique in content and match ups. I loved the tempura corn, the melon appy, the heirloom tomatoes, and the melon dessert. All of them had interesting additions. I could go on but don't have time to write as much this time. My dining partner requested more servers please. It was packed by the time we were leaving and it seemed like it was just one server. But she rocked and I think they just did have as many reservations since it was rainy earlier so it might have been unexpected.

Love the cocktails and sitting by the counter watching the bartender make them. Had 4 cocktails all of them were yummy. Shiso I liked the most. Wish there were more food options(sashimi) but really its about coming here to drink and have some snacks. They have a special of the day which occasionally changes. Don't really want to highly recommend this place because I'll have less chances of making a reservation :) .

What a cozy little bar! Huge selection on wine and liquor; love their daily special drink! The atmosphere is perfect for a little gathering among friends or could also work for couples. We almost ordered everything off the food menu, all came with great surprise, definitely had a good time.

Visited Grapes & Soda this evening for Valentine’s Day. Made a reservation was seated immediately. We started with gin cocktails which were delicious, followed by their feature starter Oysters and again; delicious. Unfortunately when we then ordered our next course, sourdough & sun chokes and more drinks, we were forgotten about for 20 minutes, along with the table next to us who had empty beverages for 20 minutes. Server was apologetic but at that point we left feeling underwhelmed despite delicious drinks and food.

Great cocktails and charcuterie board! Servers were kind and helpful with drink suggestions. They don’t have a big selections of food but the sourdough and fried corns were really good. Would definitely come back to try more cocktails.

We visited Grapes & Soda for a date night dinner, and we were not disappointed. We ordered the combined Charcuterie board and Pasta as well as their signature bottled cocktail. The entire charcuterie board was well put together, and the meats, cheeses, and condiments all complimented each other very well. The bread was very fresh and the sourdough crepe was a nice touch. The bottled cocktail was nicely balanced and very refreshing, as well as being a very substantial size for the price. The pasta was nice, but definitely not the strongest of the items that we tried. The entire restaurant is very small and has a cozy vibe. Our server was very attentive and friendly, and checked in on us the perfect amount. Grapes & Soda is the perfect place to sit down and enjoy a few drinks after a night out. Due to the smaller portion sizes I don’t think I would recommend it as a place to eat a filling meal, but the cozy vibe, great service, and fantastic cocktails definitely make it worth checking out if you’re in the area.
