I had a craving for nachos, so I searched all the restaurants in my area. I saw that this place actually had the lowest price ($14) so I decided to go. I had not been since it was branded as 'The Speak Easy'

This place is a lovely set up, with lots of booths, high top chairs and a heated patio. It has NEVER been busy any of the times I have gone, making it a nice place to go if you want to... more

Very good food! Good service, friendly staff.

I've been here on two occasions.

First with my wife, it was a Sunday morning. The place was comfortably empty, didn't smell too bad of last nights booze. The food was a bit too pricey for what it was, but it was tasty. I'd have given it a 3-4 stars based on that single experience.

A couple weeks later a buddy of mine and I swing in on a Friday night for a couple of drinks.
They advertise $1... more

Place is turning around. Tapas are amazing!! Great to see them try something new. Too bad the regulars who never leave the bar...leave lol Most regulars would complain as they don't like change so hope they don't. Loved the buffalo meatballs and the ohhhh sooo good deep fried pasta as a tapa. Many more, just too good. Four stars only because some of the staff and management, not sure if they... more

Nice too see a restaurant in the westend sell good seafood at a decent price considering our close proximity to the ocean.Enough with bland Greek restaurants.Fresh prawns ,mussels etc. Well done and a lovely change of pace.

Wonderful selection of cocktails and shots, definitely a place to go for drinks. Can't tell you about the food since we didn't eat there. The patio is the perfect place to people watch.

Average sports bar on Davie. Nothing special, but far from bad.
Food is pretty good, service is quick and friendly and the beer is cold.
I can't complain.
I have a few friends that live in the area and we often pop in for a pint or two.

Interesting spot. Sat at the bar and watched football. It was not that busy, a few people at the bar and and few people outside. The service was good, we had an order of spinach dip and it was good.

The first thing you should know about the Speakeasy Bar and Grill is that the patio dining section is awesome! The second thing you need to know is that the service is just as awesome. This was the first place my friends and I came to after we were settled in our hotel and we never found a place that was as amazing during our stay. Every request was seen to, the water refills were frequent, the... more

The veggie burger alone is worth going here! I dream about it!!

There's never a ton of people there when I go in, so not the best atmosphere...but I've always had great service even really late at night which sometimes is uncommon. Try to get a spot overlooking the street, great for people watching ;)

Dead bar - almost completely empty - but I never even knew this place existed until I park my car out front and realized I was thirsty. Specials posted on sandwich board outside aren't actually the specials.

Come here if you enjoy sitting in an empty bar with bait-and-switch.

This is the best sports bar in downtown Vancouver. Why? Because:

- it's ALWAYS empty. Seriously, how do they stay in business? In any case their pain is your gain, because come here with a group of friends and you basically own the place -- get fast service, make as much noise as you want! There are no other customers to complain

- it has the best patio on Davie. Heated in the winter time.... more

watched a hockey game there tonight jan 20. the last thing i wanted to hear blasting out those speakers was the high pitched voices of the guys inhaling helium balloons off the a&w commercial, in fact every commercial was blasting and they didn't even bother to turn it down or switch to music like most places do but most people may not even notice. but this was noticeable! all i could hear... more

How can you not love a place that has bottles of wine for $15 on a Monday night? I guess if you are under the drinking age, you wouldn't love it. But I'm more than old enough to enjoy a bottle on their great patio.

Speaking of the patio, the views were particularly amazing, but it is situated above street level, so it allows for some primo people watching. Plus they have lots of heaters to... more

A crew of us came here after work on Friday for some cheapy drinks and fun in the sun. It's been a pretty cold June-uary, so you have to take advantage of the sun when you can.

I was pretty tickled when my gal pals told me that they had double highballs on special on Fridays. Say whaaaaaaaaat?? Hook. me. up! I ordered an "electric iced tea" to start. Sure, it was only $8, and looked like a... more

Went here for a birthday party on Friday and had a good time. I wasn't in the drinking mood so I was more interested in the food. Nachos and quesadillas were 25% which made it pretty decently priced. The birthday girl was really impressed with the cheap food! I thought it was good value but don't expect to be blown away by this pub's food. As for the drinks, everyone seemed to enjoy them. I had... more

I went here for the first playoff hockey game on thursday and it was my first time venturing in. The seats were plentiful and there was room for everyone plus more. The beer special was $11 pitchers which works well for groups and the highballs were under $5.

My table ordered the nachos which looked delicious with plenty of side dips (grrrr I hate running out of guac!) but they put chicken on... more

I've always enjoyed the great decor, atmosphere and customer service, but tonight the chef outdid himself. The blackened halibut was incredible! Wow! I'll go back again and again!

I have been here twice and both times it has been terrible.

The first time I ordered a burger which was raw. I sent it back. I didn't bother ordering anything else and thanx for charging me for a raw pile of meat.

Second time going we order some deep fried appetizers. There was a total of 6 tables of people and it took over 50 minutes. Really how hard is it to take some pre-ordered frozen... more

My friend and I were walking down Davie enjoying coffee on a great Sunday morning.. We were craving some breakfast, saw the speakeasy sign with their breakfast specials and decided to give them a try. We walked in and the place was empty. I thought WOW a nice place but totally empty, but it was early so maybe that's why. We were being sat but before we were the waitress told me I needed to... more

I've been to two UFC events at the Speakeasy. You've got to get their early for the best seats, or you'll end up in a corner on the patio.

They've got two screens on the patio, but for optimal UFC viewing, it's better to be indoors.

The service is good, the waiters returning on a regular basis to see if you need another drink.

Have you ever enjoyed a drink in an empty bar? No one has, it's a scientific impossibility. People go to bars for a vibe, music, crowd, atmosphere.

Speakeasy on Davie has none of this.

Whenever I walk by I at once notice the lack of clientele. I decided to give it a shot, I and two others came for drinks and to see the game.

An empty bar makes you lame by proxy.

One drink later we hastened... more
