The 5 Best Clubs in Vancouver

The Roxy

One of the best clubs in Vancouver for its more relaxed feel (there’s no dress-to-impress code here), The Roxy offers a mix of live bands and DJs. Drink specials and the house bands have all had a long tenure at the club, which first opened in at 932 Granville St. in 1988. Although Saturday is the busiest night at The Roxy, the Vancouver nightclub is one of the few spots to offer entertainment seven nights a week.

Caprice Nightclub

Bass-heavy dance tunes and an always-moving dance floor make Caprice one of the best clubs in Vancouver. An upper level provides bar access, couch seating, and balcony views over the dance floor. Caprice is open Wednesday to Saturday and located in the Granville Entertainment District at 967 Granville St. You can skip the inevitable line-up at Caprice by getting on the guest list through their website.

Celebrities Nightclub

This gay nightclub is sprawling and an enduring favorite in Vancouver with both gay and straight clubbers. Celebrities, in the Davie Village at 1022 Davie St., is one of the best clubs in Vancouver for its energy-filled dance floor. Although it re-opened in 2004, the dance club has been around since 1910. Celebrities is open Tuesday to Saturday.

Post Modern Dancebar

Club-goers at Post Modern can split their time between two dance floors, video games, and pinball. Located in Gastown, Post Modern tends to have a long line-up, so arrive early. One of the best clubs in Vancouver for its packed atmosphere, the nightclub is open Wednesday to Saturday and located at 7 Alexander St.

Ginger 62

This slinky nightclub offers a relaxed lounge filled with low couches in fire-hot tones as well as a pumping dance floor fueled by house music. This is one of the best clubs in Vancouver to catch the city’s most stylish. Expect attentive table service and great people-watching at this night club. Contact the club, which is located at 1219 Granville St. in the Granville Entertainment District, to get on the guest list.

With live music, gay bars, dance clubs, and stylish lounges, the Vancouver club scene has plenty of variety to offer.
