Met You There

Met You There

When it comes to weekend revelry, if we want The Hills kind of night out we do the Granville Strip, but if we aim to leave the heels at home, chill with a pint and really hit the dance floor, we make our way to Metropole.

Recently reopened, the new Met is the younger, hipper son of its pub forefather. The old charm of its tiled floor, brick walls and arch windows remain, as does its famed karaoke nights, but now there's a regular roster of some of Vancouver's best and brightest DJs, like Ernold Sane and Trevor Risk, and a crowd of cool artist types to rub elbows with.

And if the cast of a certain vampire movie has been there more than once, you know it's hot.

Metropole, 320 Abbott St., Vancouver, 604-408-5822, www.themetpub.ca
