HousexGuest

House Guest is one of the newest hottest places to lounge for tapas and drinks. The black board menu changes daily however my recommendations would be to try the PMC (pimentos Mac n cheese), Prawn Guac, Crab tater tots or the big house burger. House Guest is also known to serve gastown's best Sunday Brunches. House Guest provides a mysterious dark Gotham like vibe to the overall ambiance all the while with an impressive classy dining set up displaying medieval to modern paintings, poetry and other fine decor. After a nice dining experience House Guest provides a lounge on the lower level where you can drink and dance. This is a fun and different place to explore than your usual, a definite must see. House Guest is located on 200-332 Water Street Vancouver open from Wednesday- Saturday 5:00pm-Late and Sundays 11:00am-4:00pm (604)699-0249.

Terracotta Modern Chinese Restaurant

Traditional flavours, modern discovery ! Terracotta creates Chinese tapas with a modern twist. This lively place brings in big crowds for nights of dinner or drinking. Located in historic gastown, Terracotta exudes an exotic look to its three level ambiance displaying dark tiled, rock walls and floors with intricate ancient mystical statues of Terracotta warriors from the Qin Dynasty. During my last visit i enjoyed some  smooth Aloe Vodka shots or the signature Green tea and Chivas along with some good eats. Try their Imperial Pepper Prawns, Beijing Fried Rice and the Shanghai Noodles. This place is truly fun and amazing. Terracotta is located on 52 Alexander, open Tuesday-Thursday 6:00pm-Late and Friday-Saturday 6:00pm-2:00am (604) 569-3088.
