Prohibition-era cocktails, gourmet burgers, and inclusive drag events
"This underground speakeasy in the Uptown Village neighborhood isn’t hard to find; look for the pride flag and head down the stairs. In this den of glitter and chintz, best known for drag brunch, adult bingo, and improv comedy, happy hour runs Monday through Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. The menu includes a short list of bites ($6 to $10) and burgers ($12). Prices here are reasonable, making it easy to stay under $20 for food and drink, even during regular hours." - Anastasia Sloan
"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
"I value UnderBar for hosting events like A Queer Comedy Christmas Pajama Party, Drag Bingo, and Drag Brunch, making it a welcoming space for the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies while others in the city create barriers." - Eater Staff
