Was looking for a happy hour spot in downtown for post work drinks & snacks. We came across open outcry and settled on this spot since their happy hour runs till 6pm. We entered from the top floor and was kindly greeted and led downstairs to seating area. It's a super cute spot that's intimate but with spacious seating. The pulled pork slider ($6) was really good. Spicy fried cauliflower ($15) was great too but be warned it is actually super spicy. The pesto pasta with shrimp was 10/10 it's part of a showcase menu they currently have going on and I really loved it!! read more

Great happy hour menu. Although their dinner menu pricing isn't too bad either. Surprised that the restaurant was quite empty on a Saturday night. Overall food was tasty. Wasn't a fan of the fried cauliflower as it had too much batter but their clam, pastas, prawns and their dessert was quite delicious. Nice decor. read more

I found this place through Yelp and deemed it worthy of a birthday dinner for my wife. We were the only ones there when we arrived at 6 p.m. on a Thursday. Special was spend $25 on food and get a free beer or wine. She got the lobster/crab ravioli and I got the salmon. All dishes were good. We got a couple cocktails and they were good too. Ambiance was great, even being alpine most of the time. It's a once-a-year kinda place. read more

I found Open Outcry to be a bit of a hidden gem for happy hour. You walk in off the street and head downstairs. Initially, the decor is a bit, meh. It has the geometric sconce backdrops and colors of an old movie theater, lots of maroon. What did feel good to the eyes though, were the prices and variety on the happy hour menu! They offer a few $7 drinks. I was glad that the mule they offered was "the other mule", or whiskey mule. It was surprisingly good for a mule. You know how you think you know what to expect and then you're like, "wait what?" They had a lot of reasonably priced food options. One of our friends ordered the Prosciutto and Avocado Toast - it was enormous! The pork slider looked good as well, and both of them said they were really happy with the choice of Open Outcry. I had the tortilla soup and it was very rich and flavorful. We sat at a booth against the back wall and enjoyed looking up at the little square pieces of glass that offer a little view through the sidewalk. We were left hanging for a good while after we finished our drinks and meals, no one checked in on us and one of us notified the server we were ready while they were on their way back from the restroom. I'd recommend popping down here, but you might have to flag someone down when you're ready to go. read more

Fourth time here, service and food were always great, smaller portions, but reasonable prices. In the basement, but comfort, clean and cozy surrounding. But the last time, service was questionable, to bad. He (server) didn't offer us a drink menu, appetizers came with the main. Not all the food arrived at the same time, so there was an awkward time waiting, which made my soup cold. I really like this place. I hope they change out the waiter. Minus a star for the service. read more

This was an interesting evening. The ambiance is very speakeasy and cozy. The food was excellent! The service was quite personable and attentive. We will be back! read more

Food was pretty good and I'd return when I'm in the area for work as a lunch time option. For the evening, the food was good, the place was rather quiet and had an odd smell like leftover Chinese takeaway. The drinks were not great so stick to wine. The service left a lot to be desired. Not rude but just hard to get anyone's attention and then the bill's were wrong. If you're here on business and want something no frills, this is the place. But if you're looking for some atmosphere and energy, good drinks, this is not it. read more

great place to have a date night. the ambience is everything. the duck was great but my favourite part is the mashed carrots. highly recommend this place! read more

Simple, quick lunch menu. More of a "drinks after work" location when you can enjoy and scotch, wine or cocktail. Service met the mark, attentive and timely. Highly recommend for the historic Vancouver feel. read more

I think this may be my new favourite place for drinks! I made a reservation and came by around 5:30 on a weekday hoping they have happy hour. The crowd was mostly people grabbing a drink after work. It's an interesting place, seats more than it looks like it could and was not busy. A reservation isn't required during the week. Great service, very attentive and amazing selection of drinks. I like the whole theme, atmosphere and little details that preserves bits and pieces of what this area previously used to home (theatre and stock exchange). I got a few bites to share too and I enjoyed the food. I really like the pate, but a friend of mine didn't. The meatballs were a hit and gnocchi was alright. I tried a couple whiskey based drinks and they were strong yet tasty. Their bartender sure knows how to make drinks. Only downside is there's no happy hour and the drinks are in the pricey side. read more

long review again but what did you expect frm julia. this is first of my christmas/holiday gatherings with frds. ofc started off with my foodies a and s. this place is the cutest bar/pub/drinking place ever. there are stairs involved once you enter the place but it's downstairs when you go in and then up when you leave so...hey i managed so everyone else should be able to too ;) since this is a drinking place, the food menu is limited BUT the food was good also. armand (sp?) was our server for most of the night until he had to leave and then megan (sp?) was helping us at the end of it. he explained the menu, provided suggestions and was very attentive whenever we needed him. idk if i am proud to say that i've tried all the g&ts on the menu - except the classic cuz...yeah. i am the gin queen amongst my frds so - no surprise there. out of the 4, i liked all of them tho the sundowner is on the sweeter side - so watch out cuz i downed that WAY too quickly. i think i like the harmony and burlesque ones the most. burlesque is the one of the cocktails that they make on the carts - you can see a little cart picture beside the drink on the menu that signifies it'll be made there. s got her usual extra dirty vodka martini with olives. a pretty much shared the g&ts with me lol but the last drink that she got - the spy who loved me - was everything megan said; it was basically alcohol in a cup. it was great but that might be why julia super tipsy at the end there. now now dont wry - we did eat. we ordered the meat&cheese bread, and armand was super nice to add the corned beef that they make in the kitchen onto it. OMG THE CORNED BEEF IS SO GOOD. the other highlight of the board was the mustard - we had to order another side of it; it was that good. we also ordered the pâté bruschetta - i love how you get everything in one bite because they already spread the fig jam onto the bread. also, the number in front of the appies is how many servings/pieces you'll get - just fyi. we also heeded to armand's suggestion of the meatballs, which had a bit of a kick to it but they were oh-so-moist. def going back even tho i've tried all the g&ts alr ;) read more

New bar, great old-school cocktail bar atmosphere, with expensive drinks. Certainly worth a try if you're into well-crafter cocktails. Not the place to go if you're watching your budget. read more

This place is a lovely addition to the downtown core. I really enjoyed the speakeasy vibe in here, but would echo that the lighting could be taken down a few notches to really make that sing. The service was fantastic! Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire menu and really took the time to walk us through the selections and make suggestions. Our cocktails were delicious and appropriately boozy.. and having one made on the bar cart was a fun touch. It did seem a little tricky to move and ensure the eye line wasn't obstructed, especially once some overly enthusiastic guests started a stand up party but whatever, it's fun. We shared the vegan bruschetta and the green goddess. I wish we would have just ordered the bruschetta over and over again because IT IS SO GOOD! The Nelson the Seagull bread really ties the whole room together. The lighting could very well be a safety issue... I mean boozy cocktails + all those stairs + sexy lighting could potentially = falls. read more

This is one of Vancouvers newer drinking rooms. It's small but ample room reminds me of a New York City underground speakeasy. The menu consists of small and sharable plates. We had the gnocchi and the meatball skewers, both delicious. I had a couple of non alcoholic cocktails, both of which were delicious unique and refreshing. I will return just for those alone. The staff were both friendly and knowledgeable on their drink selections. The table side cocktail carts are a nice touch, but a bit clunky. I could see them being an obstacle when it's busy. My only complaint would be with the lighting. It was too bright for such an intimate setting. When I walked in from street level, and went down the stairwell, I was really expecting it to be a bit more darker and warmer, tying into the theme of the stock market from yesteryear. Growing pains though. It will all come together. read more

3.5 stars. I went with my gfs during covid - super quiet on a friday night. Their special was buy a drink and get a FREE pasta dish. It was such a great deal. I was expecting the pasta to be small and meh but it was actually pretty good. The other tapas were good too but nothing amazing. Service as great too! Only con was there was a very loud, obnoxious table near us that kept screaming throughout the dinner - otherwise I'd probably pop by again. read more

A classy yet cost place with staff that goes out of their way to be friendly, make you feel welcome and special. There's a number of cocktails made table-side which provides for extra entertainment. The food menu is on a smaller side, although some snacks are mouthwateringly delicious. Wish they add more vegetables, like blistered shishitos or broccolini. Cocktails are pretty exciting read more

This is my new favourite place. The food is great, the cocktails are fantastic. We had a meat and cheese board to start and the duck confit. We will be back. read more

Great place ,great food ,great service ,if you are in the mood for a good plate of cheese this is the place

Awesome place, fantastic food, amazing service and incredible drinks. Very unique decor and ambience due to the historic setting. A new must visit in Vancouver. read more

First visit here. Newly opened restaurant. The service was good but someone would come every 3 to 5mins to check on us, a bit excessive. Decor was nice. Food was good but menu seemed very small. They had a good amount of vegetarian options. Extensive cocktail list but they will cost you anywhere from 14$ to 20$. Lighting is horrible, hard to take pictures. I would go back. read more
