A night the way you like it

The party scene in Vancouver can compete with the best in the world, and there’s no lack of speaker-shaking nightlife, crowded dancefloors and buzzing bars. If you love nightlife in its purest sense, this is the place to be – but night tours in Vancouver don’t just cater for party people. Vancouver has a long list of after-dark entertainment options that are equally exciting. With a seemingly endless supply of comedy clubs, late-night bowling alleys, burlesque shows, theater performances, museum nights and shopping opportunities, Vancouver nightlife is as vast and varied as it gets.

Neighborhoods for every night owl

Depending on the neighborhood you end up in on night tours in Vancouver, the Vancouver nightlife scene can be as relaxed or raucous as you want it to be. There’s neon-lit Granville Street, an entertainment district lined with pubs, clubs and live music venues. Then there’s upmarket Yaletown with its sleek cocktail lounges and super-trendy hangouts. If it’s a laid-back night of drinking and dining you’re after, historic Gastown is the place to be, while beachside Kitsilano is packed with locals-only pubs and neighborhood restaurants. Where will night tours in Vancouver take you?
