Hello Goodbye Bar

Waste of Time. We finished up at Hapa around 11:30 on Saturday and decided to check out Hello Goodbye. As we walked by, we could hear the music echoing around inside, which usually means the place is pretty empty. Five people came out while we were standing there, and the bouncers reminded them they were open until 3. That gave us the impression that walking in would be straightforward. I asked the bouncer if there was a cover and he said no, so we figured we would head in. Instead, he told us to wait behind the rope. There was no line. No one ahead of us. Just an empty entrance to an already empty‑sounding club. After less than a minute, someone else walked up, said a quick word to the bouncer, and was immediately let inside while we were still standing there. At that point, we left and went to The Parlour, which was a much better use of our time. If your club is so empty that I can hear the echo of your music from the sidewalk, don’t waste my time by pretending there’s a line. Just let people in. Some of us don't have time for that BS.

Terrible experience at Hello Goodbye. The vibe was off from the start. The bouncers seemed more interested in power-tripping than actually keeping things calm. I saw someone get into a situation that could have been handled professionally, but instead it was escalated unnecessarily. Security felt aggressive and confrontational, which completely ruined the night. There are way better spots in Vancouver that know how to treat people properly. Would not go back.

Very disappointing experience at Hello Goodbye Bar. An interaction with the bouncers and staff escalated unnecessarily and became aggressive toward members of our group while we were trying to leave. The situation felt poorly handled and left us feeling unsafe. Definitely not a place I’d return to.

Really disappointed with my experience at Hello Goodbye. A small situation involving some guys in our group was completely escalated by the bouncers instead of being calmly handled. The response felt overly aggressive and unnecessary, and one of my friends was treated far worse than the situation called for. Security is supposed to de-escalate, not make things worse. Definitely left a bad impression.

Terrible service. Bouncers are terribly rude and have no self control. They have no idea how to deescalate. Tables are garbage and over priced. Go to 12 west this place sucks.

Bouncers operate with unlimited power & have assaulted multiple people. Would strongly avoid

This underground lounge was unknown to me despite being in the area for quite some time. It had a very chill vibe on a weekday evening with good happy hour prices on some artisan cocktails. It seemed to start to pick up and adopt a more club-like vibe starting at 1030pm, with louder music (& DJ), a bouncer, coat check and more people coming in. Overall I thought it was a really cool set-up.

The bouncers are so friendly and great, but I have no clue what is the bargirls problem they have the worst attitude and will charge you $20 for a shot of tequila and add the tip in it. Not even in Cipriani they’ll charge you that much for a shot seriously unbelievable.
