2 Best Nightlife in Vancouver, British Columbia

Traveling executives in suits and film industry creatives sip martinis (or perhaps a cocktail made with bourbon and blood oranges) while scoping out the room, on the ground floor of the Opus Hotel. During the day, it's a sleek café.

This second-floor venue on the eastern fringes of Vancouver's changing Chinatown includes a lounge, supper-club dining, and private rooms, all with a clubby, 1960s Las Vegas feel. There are excellent cocktails, and the occasional jazz, karaoke, or comedy show.
