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?

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).

Lot of ppl say food is crap there. Still had good experience overall though.

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.
