We visited Bar Corso during happy hour. It was nice ambience and service was very good…read more What we ordered: Crostini - Wagyu(Wagyu tartar Smoked bone marrow emulsion, onion ash and pickles) Tonnato(Confit Albacone tunnel belly Fried capers) Stacciatella(house stracciatella, balsamic,Perl's and basil) Tapenade(olive, sun dried tomatoes, roasted pepper and Calabrian chill) Wagyu was the best. It was full of flavor and wagyu was tender. Great item. Tonnato was also good. Very solid item. I did not have stacciatella. Tapenade was sour side, with strong olive and roasted pepper flavors stand out. Vongole(savory clams, fermented Taragu mares chilli white wine and parsley, squid ink linguine) Highlight! Clam and Vongole sauce were very delicious! Squid ink linguine was also good. It was good to have sauce with bread. Bistecca(Babette steak, Amaro jus, garlic scapes, frisee and hazelnuts) This item was also very delicious. Medium rare steak was tender(a bit chewy) the garlic scapes, hazelnut and frisée combination was excellent. i really enjoyed having together with meat. Overall, I really liked this restaurant. I would like to visit late night next time.

We came by in the afternoon, and it was not very busy at all so it was nice to have a choice of any seat in the place. Service was great, you get menus and then order at the bar. Noticed they also had Cards Against Humanity available to play as well which just adds to the comfortability factor! Both the beverages were tasty - the dirty martini olives do have pits. Would have been a 5/5 stars except for the large amount of fruit flies that surrounded my friends and me the entire time. Also the ceiling had cook decorated paintings on it too.

If you're there during certain times you will also have the pleasure of listening to live music while enjoying your drinks. Unfortunately we just missed the band playing so I can't speak on that. My group and I got a few drinks and they were fruity but we didn't feel like it was anything special. I personally got an orange flavoured drink infused with earl grey and other herbs but it just tasted like orange juice. For the prices on the menu I believe this is pretty reasonable. Nothing on the high end but still some pleasant cocktails.

Fabulous little spot along Commercial drive! Always packed but open late!!…read more This place has delicious, unique cocktails and tasty small bites. I tried several cocktails here and found them all to be really good in their own way. The cocktails are a twist from classic drinks and they do not disappoint. I tried Tonka, Suika, Kuri and Ume. Loved all of them and each had distinctive tastes from each other. My faves were Kuri and Ume. Can't wait to try other things on the menu. The service is great. Staff are eclectic and happy to help. This place is small, and a bit dark. It is also quite loud. Better for friends gathering to try drinks and food than an intimate date spot (unless you're into loud but lively bars, and don't mind loudly talking to your date). Highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time as spots fill up fast. I only got a reservation in day of, late at night!

Lively atmosphere and cute colourful decor no matter which angle you look. Service is wonderful, drinks are unique, and the bartenders put lots of care in their prep. Unfortunately, the food was pretty average imo maybe we didn't get the right items. *Hamachi tartare was cool! 4/5 *Prawn toast tasted like a costco hotdog to me T-T maybe that was the goal... I was not a fan but my friend REALLY liked it *Wagyu sliders, fun concept but didn't seem so different from a regular burg As a non-drinker I'm not compelled to return, but worth a try!

It is a pub/tavern, so expect that when you come here. It can get busy around happy hour or later hours, but the service both times we went was still wonderful! Everyone was nice, informative and helpful! The crispy fried chili tofu was also very tasty. Sat one time up in the bar area, and the second time in one of the booths down the stairs. Down the stairs area is low key the legit cozy spot! The vibe down there was great. Up by the bar can definitely be a lot of fun with the right group. The place was clean, the service was fast. Will be going back for sure!

We came here during their Monday happy hour from 11AM-5PM and gorged ourselves in seafood…read more The food: Oysters of the Day - these were fresh and delicious. They were served with fresh grated horseradish which I rarely see. There were also a few sauces to try with the oysters if you want to get a little more variety We ordered Garlic Prawns in a tomato sauce, Steamed Clams in a wine sauce, and a ton of garlic bread to dip. I could have just eaten that and been happy. Fried Oysters are massive and come fully loaded with sauce and garnish Po-boys are almost like a half Po-Boy on that same garlic bread 1 lb bucket of crab - snow crab served with butter - we even dipped this in the tomato and wine sauces This was just a fun experience using our hands and making our way through the pile of seafood delivered to us. It was quite hot the day we went, so we had to survive the outdoors and partial sun. But overall, really good time for everyone in my family. They gave us a few wet wipes, but there was no way they would get the job done. I needed a sink to handle what my hands had become by the end of the meal. My family scores: Brendan - 4.4 Charlotte - 4.5 Shanying - 5.0 Winston - 4.5

The crab legs were so sweet that I almost wanted to order another lb but the lobster rolls and chowder were the perfect amount for everyone.

We had the best time at Odd Society, and I am still smiling two days later. Initially perplexed,…read moresince our Uber dropped us off one block away, we had no idea where we were in the dark of the Canadian night. Surrounded by warehouses, did the driver want us to experience a "call of the wild?" However, Odd Society beckoned one block from the corner, and two seats were available at the strange bar. Strange because our view was blocked by a kind of ersatz plastic and wood wagon wheel blocking our view of the servers and bar. It was reminiscent of Utah's Zion Curtain. Later, I was told it was part of Odd Society's Covid protection and helped the bartenders stack things up. Okay, fine, but tear the damn things down. They're obnoxious. Odd Society creates an array of liquors made from ingredients sourced locally by law. It's required by their license. I tried almost all of them, and most were fantastic. Abby and Colin, our servers, were charming, fun, and educational, answering my questions, which became increasingly inane as the alcohol took effect. The distillery also mixes fantastic cocktails, and mine, named Midori, was friggen unbelievable. I had two of them along with my liquor tasting. My Midori was made with a special concoction called Portuguese Sweet Milk, or something like that. It was amazing. I want one for breakfast. The fun kept coming, and I didn't want to leave. Alas, we had reservations at Lunch Lady up the street. We should have stayed at Odd Society. Lunch Lady was a disappointment. Try Odd Society out as both a distillery and cocktail bar. You won't be disappointed about either one.

I have a friend who loves to drink so when he was back in town, I bookmarked this place to bring…read morehim to as I saw many great reviews and pictures. In summary, the place was ok, but noticed after the fact that we were overcharged for the drinks. It's a small space - about 3 high tables, one lower one, each seating 4 to maybe at most 5 people, plus a bar. I reserved a table for the 2 of us at 3:30 pm on a Sunday (earliest reservation they had as they open at 3 pm) and we were seated at 3 pm. They checked our vaccine passports and then seated us. Not long after we were seated, the remaining tables were all taken just after opening for 30 minutes so I would recommend reserving if you prefer tables over bar seating. The waitress brought over a drinks menu and food menu. The menu showed cocktails at $13. We chose our drinks and ordered, then the waitress came by with a second menu that she said was for Sunday only. She apologized and said she normally doesn't work Sunday's so she didn't know this promotional menu was available. This menu had some cocktails on promotion that I would have not minded to try, but I had already received my cocktail. Oh well. I had the Violet and Claire, which looked great and tasted pretty good for the first half. However by the second half of the drink, it started to taste too sweet. It was not bad for a cocktail, overall. My friend said the Smoke Between the Sheets cocktail was alright as well. We got our bills quickly as we had a second place to visit afterwards. After paying, I snapped a picture of the bill at the time but did not notice until I got home that to my surprise, each cocktail was listed on the bill at $14.95. I recalled their physical menu saying $13, and verified this with their menu online. Unfortunately, I did not notice the discrepancy until I was home, otherwise I would have mentioned something. Note that our visit was at the end of November 2021, and at the time I'm writing this review (December 26, 2021), their online menu still has cocktail prices at $13. So, I am not sure if this was a one time mistake when we paid, or if they have just forgotten to update their menu? Either way, this was disappointing. Because of the entire experience I probably won't visit again, especially with all the other options Vancouver has for cocktails.

Sure Mediterranean diet is considered to be a "healthy" diet etc. However the ingredients if not sourced from organic farms etc,, it would render any "healthy" attributes meaningless. FYI, peppers and tomatoes are well documented to contain high amounts of pesticides. If they are not duly removed, they would do more harm than good. Having said that, some are more sensitive to inflammation than others I am more than happy to re-review when your restaurant can stake the organic ingredients or non-pesticide claim. Thank-you for your attention.
