Patio bars like Reflections-on the roof of the Rosewood Hotel Georgia-are the norm. After a night of drinking, come back for a delicious breakfast the following morning. Like Opus Bar, this intimate space also acts as an espresso bar by day, but after dark, spirits abound. It does host frequent DJs, too, but in a classy way. The swanky Yaletown haunt that's housed in the Opus Hotel is known to draw a diverse crowd-young cocktail connoisseurs and over-40s alike-including the occasional celebrity. The low-key pubs and taverns in Gastown, rather, are where you'll find live music. If you're hungry, some of the upscale drinking spots have equally high-end menus to peruse. While the college students and other 20-somethings make their way to whatever dance floor has the best DJ, the 40-somethings head instead to Vancouver's cocktail bars, hotels, and lounges for the evening.
