			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Relish Restaurant and Bar is a popular hotspot just off the Granville Stripe tucked away in an open courtyard with patio seating on Nelson street in downtown Vancouver.</p>
<p>Relish first opened in 2004 and has long been a popular Vancouver party bar. In early 2010, Relish underwent major renovations and took on a more serious dedication to providing quality comfort food.</p>
<p>Chef Patchen Gallagher from Glowal and Deacon&#8217;s Corner pleases hungry taste buds with Short Rib Shepherd&#8217;s Pie, Duck Fat Steak Fries, Tourtiere and&#8230; read this right: Gnocchi Poutine. Patchen also brings his love for breakfast to Relish by offering breakfast menu items at any hour! What&#8217;s even better is the price &#8211; at $15 &#038; under for entres and nightly drink specials, Relish is easy on the wallet.</p>
<p>Today Relish Gastropub is a classy, yet relaxed 85 seat pub that attracts a more sophisticated crowd who want to get off the Granville strip and tire of the pretentiousness of Yaletown. But make no doubt about it, Relish can still party. Relish is open til 2am on weekdays and on weekends, a DJ and dance floor keeps the party going til 3am.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Morrissey Pub on Granville Street is one of the busiest pubs located right where all the nightlife action is in Vancouver. The Morrissey usually has a mix of locals and travelers with plenty of hotels, restaurants, clubs and bars in the surrounding area. </p>
<p>Serving typical pub fare, the Morrissey serves lunch and dinner daily. On weekends, the Morrissey is typically standing room only at the front of the bar with tables for small groups at the back. On Friday and Saturday nights there could be a small line-up that forms outside but compared to the other bars and clubs in the area, the wait is not typically long to get in.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Diamond in Gastown is a private and intimate bar and lounge up on the 2nd floor at the corner of Powell and Carrall. Opening in July 2009, it&#8217;s one of the newest hip hang-outs in Gastown. Open Wednesday through Sunday, the Diamond serves tapas and one-of-a-kind cocktail concoctions. The Diamond&#8217;s dining space is nice and open with the high lofty ceilings and big corridors that are unique to Gastown&#8217;s heritage buildings.  Most tables are set for two to share plates which makes for a great place to catch up with a friend or to bring a date.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Society Dining Lounge is one of the latest hot spots to come to the Yaletown night scene opening in early November 2009. A trendy restaurant and lounge, Society  Dining Lounge serves up elegant comfort food attracting appealing to yuppies from all over. Society&#8217;s website describes themselves as &#8220;A dining lounge where comfortable meets chic, warmth meets undeniable cool, light humour meets dark sensuality.&#8221;</p>
<p>Inside, Society Dining Lounge is quaint lounge contained in one small but spacious room with an impressive giant pink chandelier that centers the room. Outside, heated lamps provide a warm patio to enjoy a meal or sip on drinks. Society&#8217;s layout is much like Glowba (another popular Yaletown hot spot just a few blocks away) which makes sense &#8211; it being the latest addition to the Glowbal Group&#8217;s collection of restaurants and lounges.</p>
<p>Society Dining Lounge is a short distance from Davie Street down the cobbled stoned walkway on Hamilton at Drake. Makes for an elegant and classy night out in Yaletown!</p>
