Speakeasy on Granville
The Speakeasy on Granville (map, 921 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-685-5531) is a pub located on the downtown Granville strip between Smithe and Nelson (closer to Smithe).
Digging up on Wikipedia reveals a bit about the history of the Speakeasy:
A speakeasy was an establishment which illegally sold alcoholic beverages during the period of United States history known as Prohibition (1920–1932, longer in some states).
Darien, a writer from Vancouver, comments on yelp.ca (click here to read review):
The drink prices are downtown average and the place is deceptively large. I often come to this spot when I want to get a drink late on a Friday or Saturday night. Due to the size of the room, one tends to be able to sit down most times during the evening. This is certainly not a destination, but true to the name is a relaxed place to unwind.
Pictured below are the nachos and beer that I ordered with my friends. The food tasted great, and was around $10.

Hate this place, waste of time.
Host was very disrespectful and disrespectful.
I’ve never been in a fight and yet my girlfriend hustled me out of that place before I punched the bigot as there was no reason other than race that we were treated to rudely.

Do not dine here! The staff are terribly rude and disrespectful. Also, a 15% gratuity charge is included on all nills even when the service is bad and the staff are impolite.

After years of partaking in a festive drinks at The Speakeasy, I was humiliated in front of colleagues by the staff.
