Vancouver Bars » Gastown http://vancouverbars.net An independent guide to Vancouver bars, lounges, pubs and clubs.

They describe their entertainment, food and bar as an “experiment” where new and refreshing ideas are being explored in taste and sound.

For instance, on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, they show live “improv music” shows. The concept: 3 musicians (who’ve never met) come together and jam for the first time. Things get even more interesting when different styles are put together!

Guilt and Company also takes that same zest for fun to the kitchen and bar where new and creative antipastos, mustards and cocktails are invented and hand made.

Inside, Guilt and Company has a warm and tavern-like feel. The host and wait staff adorn fedoras, white dress shirts and suspenders – a cool throwback to Gastown early days. Guilt and Co is the perfect place to settle into and relax with friends. Other entertainment includes comedy and a selection of board games.

Opening in July 2009, it’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’s dining space is nice and open with the high lofty ceilings and big corridors that are unique to Gastown’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. Though, if you plan ahead or make a reservation, the Diamond has some room for smaller groups to dine together.

Inside, the pub is juxtaposed to the rough and tumble eastside streets with a newly renovated interior, polished marble floors, high ceilings and classy furnishings.

On the Edge is one of the many Gastown revitalizations we’ve seen in preparation for the Woodwards facelift to complete in time for the 2010 games. On the Edge Pub will be an obvious choice for people in the new Woodwards District which will have students going to SFU School for Contemporary Arts and residents living in the condo development.

Locals will be going to the Edge to watch the canucks games, UFC fights or just to chill out and munch on some good comfort food (3 words: Short Rib Poutine). Future plans include live music acts with a good space for bands on a raised 2nd level in the corner of the bar.
