Date idea
 

Looking for smaller, cozy place for tapas/beer or maybe wine. I prefer something unique atmosphere and vibe.

Something similar to places like GUU or some gastown type of place.

Any suggestions?

Taking girl out for some sushi at Minami this Sat

Can't remember the name but the little pub in gastown under chill Winston's

Guilt and Co. Was way too loud last time I went for a proper conversation

Espana (Denman) or Sardine Can (Gastown) both Spanish.

Suika or Rajio both sister restaurants of Kingyo

We love going to Gyoza King. Fits your criteria: small and cozy with a nice selection of beer.

Flying Pig isn't small..but definitely a great place for eats and date night. NOt really a tapas place though. Merchant for some nice wine and seafood. Havana's for mixed drinks and appies. Actually none of these are really small.

Actually..what is considered..small? Like a 20 person seat resto? And does it have to be in Downtown?

Espana is a perfect choice.

Sushi-hachi (Richmond, not Vancouver)

Sushi bar+ 7 or 8 tables+ Open only 5 days a week (3/4 hours a day) + 1 server (wife) + 1 sushi chef (husband)

Not really "tapas" but they serve fresh sashimi and sushi rolls and nigiri, etc.

More for the food I think... for this restaurant (reserve ahead of time).

the eatery is always a fun joint.

^interesting but it was way too loud inside and I couldn't hear jack shit my guy was saying
Lot of ppl say food is crap there. Still had good experience overall though.

The Beach House in West Van, then come to my concert on Friday, June 7 at 7pm @ the West Vancouver Presbyterian Church in support of the North Shore Crisis Society! :)

Japanese sushi place beside kits hapa izakya is pretty chill for a date

And its close to the beach too :fullofwin:

fun...if you like to use sign language and enjoy shit service.

Don't forget horrible food.

Biercraft, Alibi Room, Pourhouse.

I hear Portland Craft is good but never been myself.

Tried to go to sushi Hachi, but they close so early, last call at 8:30......,

Also missed the sardine can, which closes at 9.
End up going to SUika...which seems like a nice place,, reminds me of GUU... every kitchen guy and servers yell at each other in japanese.


I have tried Gyoza king before, didnt really find their food too great.. Also I dont like sitting on hard wood, hurts the back and butt for awhile... plus possible stinky socks with all the customers there

Yes, whenever I go there, I see at least 4 parties get turned away because they didn't make a reservation.

Just reserve a table. I refuse to sit on the faux-tatami area. But since you don't like it then I guess it doesn't really matter.
