Had an excellent time at the bar last night - we had nachos and a taco which super affordable, and some cocktails which were a reasonable price but also stupid good and clearly made with love. Our bartender, Lo, was obviously very knowledgeable and super happy to nerd out with us about ingredients. So much fun!!
A little too dim, but I think that's what they're aiming for. My eyes took like 9 minutes to find the latch to the washroom door. The mirror inside the loo is trippy. Good drinks, good bartenders.
A lovely little nook in Vancouver. The bartender was friendly and an excellent conversationalist. The nachos had lots of melted cheese and delightful toppings (from tacokat). The bartender's drinks of the day were incredible! Definitely going back
I missed this place twice trying to find it, but once I went in I was met with dim glowing lights, decorated walls and overall an awesome dark ambience. It's Halloween themed too which is a bonus. The area is not too big and the music was not too loud, in fact they were playing some pretty sick grungy music that I would have loved to catch the name of. The eats are very well priced and looked appealing, ranging from burritos to shareables. I enjoyed my cocktail and wish I could have gotten more. The service was amicable and really friendly! The bathroom was clean for my visit, and also had some artsy decorations. Overall, I really dig the style and design of this place. It stands out among the monotonous atmospheres of other run of the mill bars. I hope to bring more people here who would similarly appreciate cool sights and sounds.
Love it here. Definition of hip, cool, and funky. Great selection of drinks and wonderful staff who are very friendly and welcoming. There’s limited seating and space, but otherwise a great vibe and a perfect place to grab a drink and decompress. It’s dark in there, but has some killer mood lighting to lighten up the place. They do have some food options available as well. Washrooms are well maintained, and within walking distance of transit (skytrain and bus). Make sure you check their specials board before ordering to get some unique finds. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area.
Happened to stroll into the Narrow tonight. The bartender Levi was exceptionally attentive. He immediately greeted us w a smile and an absolute fountain of cocktail knowledge that we could hardly comprehend. Everything we had was well above par, and were all sure that the cocktails tasted that much better b/c of the love Levi poured into it. New favourite spot:
My fav and best speakeasy in Vancouver serving delish cocktails late into the night. I agree its hard to find this spot but if you know to look for the redt light ul be fine. The minute you walk in I loved the vibe of this place. Spent 4 hours trying different cocktails and the bartender was a joy to chat with as well. We tried their chocolate old fashioned (not on the menu but the bartender made this one - amazing), cacao caliente, tsunami (my husbands fav - kept re-ordering this all night), trend setter (interesting take on espresso martini) & lavender gin fizz! We loved everything we ordered. Dint stay for food though but enjoyed our drinks. They have several tables here and I am sure it is packed on weekends. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing time at this cute bar. Great drinks and prices. Loved the vibe
