For anyone who's ever been in Vancouver for more than in an hour, you recognize pretty quickly how crap this city is for drinking.
Luckily near my house there's a pretty sweet bar called the Kings Head. Part of the appeal of it is that it does look dumpy, but it's not real hastings-terrifying-homeless-guy-smoking-crack-in-the-corner dumpy. On the other hand in Van city you get a lot of "lounges". I have yet to figure out how people are able to lounge in a place where crap dance music is blaring but you're meant to sit at a table that's big enough to hold two beers at a time max.
So I think in the early 80's someone tried to make some sort of medeival themed bar but just kind of went half way on it. The place looks like a cross between a bar and the coolest tree fort you've ever been in. On top of that they have decent priced beer, a small patio and a decent breakfast for $3.99. If you're ever in Kits, check it out.

"Kits"?? You've gone to the dark side. The Vancouver dark side. It's like people in Peterborough who call the section of town on the other side of the river "the village". It's just more of the same city. Although when I hear that I always start humming the intro to the village by maiden.
celebrities on tuesday nights is alright, tons of chicks, just try not to watch the ridiculous amount of gay porn being played on the TV's/walls
and ya, lounges blow
Celebrities also gets big DJ's all the time too. I'm not a big DJ guy but apparently it's huge for that.
so is atlantis (or something like that) walked in there a couple years back and Kid Capri was DJing, although I hear that place sucks 99.9% of the time
