This downtown bar with a bit of a speakeasy vibe is certainly a happening place at happy hour. I was there on a Wednesday night, and the music was cranking from a live performer. The place was packed to the point where I ended up standing at the bar. I guess even the bar seats require a reservation. There's a lot of creative cocktail making going on here, and I enjoyed the drinks, but both of the drinks that I tried seemed simpler in actuality than their complex descriptions implied that they would be. Certainly, the Kelpie was well-named because it was like drinking ground-up nori. If you don't like seaweed, you would not like this drink. The other drink I had was the Run Wild, which turned out to be an excellent espresso martini, but again not as complex as the ingredients might imply. It was perfectly assembled, though, and the float of cream on top of it was sublime. There's a nice menu of happy hour bites that I hadn't seen online, and also a food menu for sharing that I hadn't found anywhere either. In addition, during happy hour they were passing around various small bites, including their chili chicken and a truffle flatbread. Both were quite tasty and appreciated. The bartending was precise, but the volume level in the place precluded any form of socializing, so I can't comment on the friendliness of the servers. read more

I was super excited to check out Prophecy -- the vibes looked fun, trendy, and I loved that they had a DJ. Unfortunately, we didn't even get the chance to go inside. We were denied entry by two girls at the front who were rude and gave us dirty looks from the start. We presented valid passports and are well over 21, but were told we needed two forms of ID ,including a bank card with our names, due to some "liquor law." However my friend didn't bring anything else only passport because she uses Apple Pay not to lose her card. As we were leaving, someone outside mentioned that this isn't actually a requirement, which made the situation even more disappointing. The place looks great, but the front door experience completely turned us away. read more

Friday night here is definitely the hottest vibe. People were standing by the bar coz there want enough table for everyone. Drinks are overall too sweet, even the one that Server said "not sweet". They have nice presentation but not very good taste compare to other bars. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go out with my friends! Their cocktail menu is huge with so many creative and thoughtful drinks. The server was very helpful with helping us to pick drinks that matched our preferences and tasted amazing. The interior is dark and moody, it felt like I was in New York or Chicago. I would recommend everyone to go if you want an elevated and fun night out. read more

Prophecy - Margarita pizza, espresso martini - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Profecy is a nice cocktail lounge. My only complaint is that it is quite dark in there. The cocktails are very interesting with unique features. There's even a chart at the end on the menu to check where you drink stands: "refreshing", "herbaceous","lush" or "spiritous". Each cocktail has a short story and some illustrations. Fancy looking menu. It is a bit pricey but they do have some nice offers during happy hour. My favorite cocktail was the Radio Saigon. read more

Had to find. Google maps did not have the front door in the right place. Look for the bunny sign out front! Only 20% busy Sunday 6PM. Nice atmosphere. Bar tenders were very friendly and welcoming. Kitsune: 8.5/10 very wine-tasting Barefoot Dancer: 9/10 it is more ice than drink. Flavor was fine, not too strong. Microcosm: 10/10 our favorite drink of the Whole night. Even better it's cheap if you go before 6PM. Jelly Worldwide: 9/10. Mostly giving it a high score as it is an upscale Jello shot - very fun but very bland. Gender neutral single stalls bathrooms available - very clean. read more

Service: when we first walked in there were at least four hostesses standing at the podium who all looked at us like "what are you doing here?" And it felt like a lot. Very overwhelming. They took us to our table right away, even though we were early to our reservation. Our server was very kind, but must have been the only one working so she was VERY slow and the bartender even slower. So, when she was at our table she was fantastic, problem was she just wasn't there. Ambiance: This place is very dark and screams cocktail bar. It has interesting artwork and feels very trendy. It is decorated like a place you should dress up to go, but you aren't required to. Food & Drinks: we started with an overpriced charcuterie tray. It was pretty good, the Bri cheese was delicious, but I would've liked it to have been served with some nice crackers instead of over toasted bread. my husband got the steak frites and a dirty martini. The steak had great flavor, but was supposed to be medium rare. Even in almost complete darkness we could tell it was undercooked. The red wine reduction it's served with was good, but a little salty. I got a lemon pappardelle pasta and it was really yummy! Pasta was cooked perfectly and the flavor was great. If I had to change anything I would have liked more of the basil flavor to come out and for there to be more zucchini. I also tried a the second nature margarita. It was pretty good, but they garnish it with mint. Odd choice for a marg and I hate mint. I took the mint out, but I could still taste it. read more

Very good drinks that were well-balanced and easy to drink. The bartenders are very experienced and know what they're doing / talking about. Yelp fail -- wish I remembered the names of the cocktails we ordered, but I recall they were more earthy tones. I'm sure the bartenders could give excellent recs based on your preferred flavor profile. If in town again and want a good solid drink, would definitely come back. :) read more

Heard this was nice place to have a few drinks, so we thought we'd check it out. Apparently we picked the wrong night to come here. I was expecting a classier vibe from a bar in the Georgia hotel. Arrived on a Thursday night around 10pm. The girl throwing up outside the front doors should have been our first clue. We walked around her and down the stairs, where we encountered a bunch of people screaming and falling down drunk. Definitely not what I was expecting. We left. Maybe I would've liked this place when I was 19? Disappointed that a Granville Street bar is now in this beautiful hotel. read more

Fantastic cocktails with a night club vibe, Prophecy is the subterranean bar at the swank Rosewood Hotel Georgia. During busier hours, there is a bouncer/doorman and when you enter the space downstair, it feels like a club. I opted for a visit at 4:30pm so it was empty, but I liked the quiet. The cocktail menu is very creative, and my cocktail (the Tesoro) had mezcal and a cricket! It was awesome, and for my second drink, I had a black manhattan with a Canadian rye whiskey which was smooth as butter. Service was pleasant and attentive. Not sure what this place will be during peak hours, but I totally enjoyed my experience during the soft opening hours. read more

Unfortunately late to our reservation due to an accident which lead to ++ traffic, However, they were very understanding and still accommodated our reservation . We each ordered two espresso martinis and they had these fun Jell-O shots that were delicious. The service was quick. It is very dark inside, which I know is a common complaint with friends who have been, but it was not too much of an issue for our group. It is definitely a great venue for date night/girls night. Looking forward to returning and trying the food menu. read more

Walked in on a Friday night without a reservation which was great, but the atmosphere felt odd. Extremely busy and the music was blasting (you would think that people would be dancing), yet everyone was just sitting and somehow managing to chat over it. The bartenders were super friendly though, and the Microcosm was amazing, I'd definitely recommend that drink. read more

The drinks here were 10/10. I love the drinks that I ordered- particularity Northern Lights. Very showy and the flavour was sweet and refreshing. The only downside is the price point- $25 per drink. Was it worth 25? Probably not. Even so, i think the atmosphere and the ambience makes up for it. That and the service is great too. There is live music on wednesdays and i think sundays? Might be wrong but the music was so lovely. I most likely will go back. read more

Well now what a pleasant surprise to witness when I walked down the stairs into Prophecy! This could possibly become my go to cocktail bar in Vancouver! https://www.prophecybar.com/our-story I can see many 'stars' hanging out here in the dark corners sipping away a cocktail or two. Located underneath the Rosewood Hotel Georgia, enter via Howe St or basically across from the Apple Store. The design & architecture are supreme, accompanied by stunning art & beautiful floor carpet. The burly bouncer at the main door showed me the old prohibition days - sliding wooden window screen - on the door, which was how the doorman would check to see who was who trying to get in & make sure you weren't the Popo. LOL. Long gone are those days thank gawd. Get your drink on! Prophecy has brought on a who's who of industry peeps including Michelin Guide awarded Vancouver bartender Jeff Savage & Nicole Cote to curate some fine cocktails. I look forward to the live jazz music & rotating DJs to come. Stay tuned. Recommend coming in here in a more smart casual attire as this is definitely - a classy joint. read more

Come to see and be seen- don't stay for the drinks. There are way better spots in town!

Came for a friend's birthday, they had live music until 8pm on Saturdays and then a live DJ. Great vibes. I really recommend a reservation, you will be turned away if you don't have one as they are pretty full. Cocktails and cocktails are great, they food was not good value. We loved the margarita pizza but thought the ravioli portion was way too small for an entree. Chocolate cake was mostly tasteless. Service was amazing, staff is friendly and attentive. read more

We had a really fun time at this bar, tucked away in the Rosewood Hotel. Perusing the cocktail menu is an adventure in itself, and the drinks were unusual and delicious. Special shout out to our fantastic server, Jade. She made our night especially wonderful, taking time to answer our questions and give recommendations that were spot on. Fantastic evening. read more

This was honestly the worst service for a special event ever. I would NOT recommend anyone to reserve this bar for any special event. Our group had booked a 8 people reservation to celebrate two of our friend's birthday. I personally reached out to Prophecy via email to secure this reservation 3 weeks in advance and they were happy to accommodate us. However, on the day of, we were seated at a low COFFEE TABLE with two small couches. I honestly could not believe that's the place they decided to seat 8 people. We were 8 small women and we were barely able to squeeze in with 4 of us squeezed into one couch with each of us crossing our legs. I honestly don't know how any they expected us to fit in there. What if we were 8 guys on a rugby team? How would we have possibly fit?? We politely requested to change seating but our waitress told us it was fully booked and there was no table available. So we asked for some extra chairs, stools, anything and we were also informed that there were no extra chairs or anything. I was flabbergasted. I begged for us to be on a waitlist of some kind for when a table opens up and our waitress says she'll try but no promises. As the night went on, none of our utensils could fit on the tiny, low coffee table, let along the food and drinks we ordered. We had to play Tetris with our drinks and basically hold our plates while we eat crunched down to eat our food. It was unbelievable. For a place that charges ~$25 for ONE drinks, I honestly expected better service for an event reservation. But oh that's not all. Even as the night went on and tables opened up, our waitress made no effort to move us to a table even though it's literally sitting there empty. When we asked, she always said there were reserved. At one point, a group of 4 were seated in to a giant table that could have seated all of us but the table was so large for that group and the music was so loud they had to squish together on side to hear each other, while we were SO uncomfortable over here. I honestly could not understand how they decide seating arrangement at this restaurant. It felt unreal. All of us were speechless. But you think that's over? Haha just wait there's more. For this birthday event, one of my friends hand-baked a gorgeous birthday cake as her gift but our waitress brought it to the WRONG table. Thank god that other table was nearby and my friend recognized it was the cake SHE BAKED, physically walked over to the other table and stopped the waitress from giving our cake away. But the candle was already lit and the cake was almost blew out by a total STRANGER. I've NEVER. EVER seen that my entire life. How could they have messed up so badly???? Anyways, after the most horrible service i've received in my life and a very expensive bill. They not only did not apologize or make any gesture of goodwill, but had the AUDACITY to tell us gratuity is already automatically included and we need to pay and get out now since they have another party coming. This dining experience was honestly the most aweful dining experience I've ever had. I usually never write reviews even if I received subpar service because I understand it's hard to be a small business but this is an experience I would not wish upon my worst enemy and I don't want anyone to have as disappointing of a birthday party as we did. Please do yourselves a favor and AVOID this restaurant at all cost. Vancouver has such a vibrant restaurant theme you have so many alternatives with MUCH better services. This was NOT worth it. read more

Prophecy is one of the coolest bars that I have been to in Vancouver. The ambiance alone is a good reason to check this place out! The drinks are very well-crafted and "instagramable" for those that like share their experience on social media. I also found the service to be excellent. The server that helped me was very friendly. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and mentioned to the server that I liked the bourbon that was used and she was kind enough to bring me a taster so that I could try the bourbon on its' own. Depending on what your drink of choice is, items on the menu can get pretty expensive. For those that want to check this place out, I would recommend dropping by during happy hour. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Prophecy and would go there again for special occasions! read more

Great design and vibe was awesome but the drinks and service was severely lacking. We tried a couple of drinks but one tased like boozy lemonade (at best) and the other was straight up gin. We've had some great drinks in Vancouver but this place is a hard pass. read more
