Went with some friends to the Fortune sound club, pancake, and booze art show. It sounded like a…read morefun event with DJs and I guess I misunderstood what it was going to be like so while it wasn't my cup of tea, everyone who attended seem to enjoy it. There were lots of local artists, displaying their unique creations. There were paintings and drawings, sculptures, and then on another floor there were jewelry, nail artists, soap maker, etc. They were also giving away free pancakes, although you got one pancake at a time so that was a little disappointing. There was a bar where you could buy drinks.. My friend who is a creative person really enjoyed the event there. I did not end up buying anything although there were some nice products for sure. It looks like an old warehouse and it's not finished so it's really rough and rugged. Definitely a very casual place.

It can become crowded and stuffy. It's the basement of the pub meaning there are stairs going into and exiting the venue. At the latest performance I did see a number of people with walkers so I guess they were able to get in just fine. There are some seating around the dancefloor. For shows like stand up comedy the dancefloor is lined with seats. It's not too difficult to find parking nearby.

Well maybe it can or is a night club at one point. Not sure about that. The venue wasn't bad. There is a stage in the venue, a bar area and bar high top tables at the back. Inside is a bit run down and can be sticky due to the sticky beer spill. Yes the place does have a strong beer smell. The chairs up front are temporary chairs not theater style. Guess venue can be use for multi-purpose.

This skuzzy death metal bar used to be a strip club back in the day, and the mounted pedestals with…read moreshower nozzles are still located throughout the room, adding an authentic trashy vibe to the already filthy ambiance. The Cobalt is the lowest common denominator of bars in Vancouver, but it manages to take a certain pride in the dilapidated scenario. Typically full of punkish-goth kids, it serves extremely cheap beer and highballs, has ample seating and room for mosh pits, and comes off as unpretentious, in a "too good for good" sort of way. Many loud bands are given their first opportunity here, and many of the better ones return after achieving success for nostalgia's sake. Things can get out of hand, as conventional wisdom tends to get left behind in coat check, and obnoxious teenage drunks start doing whatever they want. I've even seen a band shoot whiskey filled super soakers out into the audience. This is actually the only place I ever did cocaine, taking it for the only time on one of the musty old cars parked out back. I had always envisioned doing blow with nice clothes, beautiful women, a mirror, and a rolled up hundred dollar bill, but the Cobalt was so exactly opposite that it seemed perfect.

The long wooden bar dominated the space but was filled with an excellent variety of craft brew from all over Vancouver and BC. I really enjoyed the range of craft beer options, some included: Steel & Oak, Powell St., 33 Acres, Strange Fellows, Four Winds, and many more! There was also a great cocktail list that is keeping pace with craft cocktail explosion, particularly in Gastown/Chinatown. In this instance we got some cocktails "whipped up". Be careful what you wish for, in the best possible way. As the night went on it became a much more social some as people began to gather around the bar and fill up the space giving it a buzzing feeling. The bar staff were awesome! At tentative and accommodating. Will definitely go back. Ps there is a good truck outside so, when you need a snack...

Apparently, they outsold their venue for the night and there were 3 events going on. The bouncers didn't have a clue what was going on. Honestly, everyone who went in in front of us left after 10mins inside so we asked the girls, who were in front of us and were leaving, how it was inside and they said it was just a bunch of 40 years olds getting drunk and groping young girls. So even though we were in the front of the line we just left cause it isn't worth it.

Especially Cam. The music was OK and I enjoyed the light effects here. I heard there was a pool under the dance floor and am curious if they actually will incorporate that into the club one day.
