On this site I use the ELO Rating System to rank the pubs, clubs and bars against each other. The ELO Rating System was developed to rank chess players relative to each other, but it works for pubs too! Choosing a win, lose or draw for a pub will alter its ELO score up or down. The Best Pubs page shows an ordered list of all of the pubs based on your input above!

About this site

Welcome to VanPubs.com! Use this site to expand your knowledge of downtown Vancouver by searching the pubs, bars and clubs by name or location! I work on this site in my spare time and I plan to add many more features, if you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see then don't hesitate to leave them.

Currently this site allows you to search the map of downtown Vancouver for areas you would like to go out in the evening and find pubs, bars, clubs and other drinking establishments nearby. The map of downtown Vancouver showed above displays a marker for every drinking establishment that I've added to date. I'd love to hear about ones I've missed. You can click on the marker to display the name of the place, clicking on the name will then show you a picture and additional information about that establishment. You can also leave comments about that pub on that page. Some recent comments are shown below.

Future plans include adding your own pubs, bars and content, leaving review scores, personalising the page with your preferences, sorting bars by many various categories, adding events that either just your friends or the whole world can see. The overall goal is to create a fast and easy way to discover the best pubs, bars and clubs in downtown Vancouver. I'd hope that by checking this site, you'll find a place you've never been to and know you would enjoy it before you even get there.

Had a great evening here.
We just came up for cocktails after noticing this place from the street, and we were glad we did. Good cocktails, and prompt friendly service. Beautiful views from the large rounded window overlooking English Bay. Music was on the loud side.

We were pleasantly surprised.
Well we weren't too sure what to make of this place from the exterior and almost didn't make it in the door. The inside however makes a great impression - nice decor, interesting lighting, hardwood flooring. We enjoyed being greeted by multiple staff members upon arrival. The menu is varied and not overly large. My partner and I each chose one of their house cocktails - my margarita was really outstanding, just delicious. Between us we shared their mac and cheese entree as well as a grilled chicken and avocado sourdough sandwich with crispy, skinny fries. Both were excellent, although we both agreed the fries were a tad on the salty side. Other items on the menu included a steak sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, a variety of salads and appetizers as well as a large selection of alcohol, including quite a few bourbons. Our server was such a pleasant young lady - very professional and seemed so genuinely happy to be there. Will return next time we are in Vancouver!

Bad Food, Bad Service, Bad Beer
This place is terrible. Worst bar in Vancouver by far. If you're looking for a food poisoning/hangover combo with a side of roofies this is your place. Stay away ladies, tons of creepers...

Fire CHRIS BAR MANAGER AY MALONES
CHRIS- bar manager ay Malones is a volatile vindictice POS! 1.5 years ago as a daily regular i came in .. Ordered and was harrased and aske for my cc# Before i evwn ordered food! And i informed CHRIS Politely i was a regular and knew Nick Jill Claire and fernando and assure him i make more # in a day than he does all week am pulled out #1000 CASH and told Him, unless i see him collect EVERYONES credit card in the bar in front of me that id be filing a discrimination suit agaimst the establishment as it was not only unmerited but beyond insulting!!!! Now 1.5 yrs later after many reoccurant unpleasant amd outwardly RUDE interactions since CHRIS the bar manager I came in there tonight.. And after a drink w JILL upstairs i went to main room an continued on. At one point i asked him something and he ignored me. Asked again and he said " unless u show me something positive im not listening!!!!" wt*f??? Ur a fu*ckin*g BARTENDER and the ONLY one who has ANY issue w me!!!! He said he remembers me of course... So i offered my cc to comply w his original RANT an was shunned and publically HUMILIATED as he began yelling to me about how i have treated him poorly since that original experience and what a BI*TC*H i am!!!!!! to everyone!!! boo FN HOo! ! I know 3-4 other bartenders Personally long before ge arrived there and havent even been in ther for 4 months and This is How im treated for attempting to request what i need to do to be treated w Respect by him????! All ego zero brains... Empty bar on a Friday night.. Gee wonder why w him in charge !!! FIRE HIM IMMEDIATELY!!! I will be blogging and Making formal complaints about this Dic*kless guy with b*alls bigger than his brains till hes FIRED and working in a fu*c*king Soup kitchen on Hastings st where his ghetto white trailer trash a*s*s belongs! I will be making Formal complaints w the owners until he is GONE and i suggest anyone Else who has legitimate complaints against CHRIS the bar manager at MALONES PUB on W. Pender st make them public record NOW ! Theres enuf ego in bars ... If you arent willing to pay for it??? Back me up. Chris is a fu*ck*ing insult to any biz that requires word of mouth to stay Alive. Fu*c*k HIm and f*u*ck the policies that allow this assClown CHRIS to get PAID for such public displays of embarrasement for NO REASON both to his employers who expect Him to represent them in a positive and progressive way and the patrons who pay his fu*cking Salary!!!!
