This was fine with us since the goal was to have a couple of drinks and stuff ourselves with some burgers and fries from Hundy (the burger joint we needed to go through to get to Stock Room). I started with the dangerous liaison cocktail (beefeater gin, peach, lemon, sugar, butterfly pea flower). This was a solid drink, refreshing and hit the spot. My second drink was spreadsheet (beefeater, st. germain, lime, strawberry syrup, green strawberry bitters). I enjoyed this drink better as it wasn't too sweet and the flavor profile was more to my taste when it comes to cocktails. I'm happy to have found another bar to add to my list of places to grab a good drink in Vancouver.

They have an outdoor patio area but the seating is on couches you and would have to lean over to eat at a coffee table. We thought that it would be very awkward for eating. They had one high top table outside that we took. Sunday is pizza night and all the pizzas were $17.95. The FIFA game was on both inside and on the patio. For dinner we shared a diavola pizza and smoked salmon parpadelle. The pizza was good but the crust was soggy. The salmon parpadelle was good but I think it would have been better with another pasta - spaghetti, linguine or fettucine as the pasta could not be twirled with a fork and spoon and had to be cut up. The service was excellent. When our server Malaka heard that we were coming in from Abbotsford she said that she would give us the "best seat in the restaurant". When we opted to sit on the patio she gave us a complimentary tiramisu as a thank you. It was such a kind gesture. It was a nice relaxing evening and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

The drinks were unique and delicious, the food (though we didn't order any from being full from dinner) looked incredible, and nearly every party around us had ordered something. As non-locals, this bar seemed like the perfect place for business chats and friend gatherings alike, with a casual atmosphere, and just the right volume of music. We only went here once, but would have gone several more times on our trip if not for our full itinerary. After visiting a few other establishments, this was our favorite Bar in Vancouver.

Balanced, flavorful, and the kind of cocktails that make you want to linger a little longer. My husband and I tried a couple of stellar cocktails: Dr. Greenthumb (10/10), Smoked Old Fashion (9/10), Hibiscus Spritz (9/10) and a shot of Michter with draught beer for drinks. We paired them with a charcuterie board "Bart's board' that came loaded with three types of cheese, a nice selection of meats, pickles and plenty of crackers to go around. Everything was fresh and thoughtfully put together. We also enjoyed the bar nuts! Other food items on the menu sound absolutely delicious but we wanted to wait for dinner. The vibe here is just lovely with warm lighting, a cool atmosphere, and the kind of ambience that makes conversation easy and fun. Perfect for a date night, casual social event with friends/coworkers. The servers really made the experience though--attentive, kind, and quick without ever rushing us. Definitely a place I'd come back to again (and again). Happy hour at Bartholomew is highly recommended!

Everything on the HH menu is $5 3-6pm and all day Wednesday. We also got the meatball appetizer and the Baccala on toast. Bartender was friendly enough, gave some recommendations where to go for dinner. But then a very large party was being seated at the adjacent restaurant that the bar seems to also serve, and she got tied up pretty bad. We did see a couple come in and wait for a pretty long time and then just take off. And then the bar was closed for this private party at 7pm, and we had sort of planned on a nightcap after dinner in there. Fortunately we found PLENTY of awesome places to go after dinner so it was not an issue. While there during Happy Hour, the crowd was empty at first and the place filled up completely by the time we left. 30's and 40's crowd.

If you're looking for a comfortable,quiet, and cosy bar this is not the place for you. This is a place where Vancouverites get dressed up in their finest dark washed jeans. Am I being facetious - yes I am...but lets face it that's what passes for high fashion in this city. Celebrity sightings are not totally uncommon here, the servers are all friendly and quick to bring your drinks, and you're guaranteed plenty of beautiful people eye-candy. It's also a bar targeting a slightly more mature age group with their larger disposable income - so no annoying teeny boppers knocking back B-52's here and whoohooing it up. One shocking thing I discovered on my last visit to OPUS Bar, was that they aren't allowed to do "real" bottle service there. So if you order a bottle of Goose for the table, be prepared to have your server take it away and bring it back out only when requested or when glasses start to go empty - thankfully Champagne & Wine are exempt from this strange rule.
