  • If you listen to any of the chatter around the Granville coffeehouses, you'll quickly associate Ginger 62 with wild weekend parties and a notorious doorman that separates groups of friends like Gestapo at Bergen-Belsen. With no valet, visitors scrounge around the local neighborhood looking for free parking and then making the inevitably long schlep to the club. It helps to secure a slot of the guest list via the website before braving entrance, easing your way into a lounge-theme cocktail and tapas bar that's been one of the hottest clubs in Vancouver since opening in 2006. The space is divided between several intimate lounge rooms in a mix of Morocco meets the Marais complete with oversize red sofas, upholstered poufs, and ornate chairs in ruby-colored crushed velvet. With exposed brick walls, rafter ceiling and checker-board floors, the main bar is a long and elaborate space with gold-emblazoned emblems and glass bubbles suspended over clean-cut bartenders flexing their biceps while pouring Prosecco and Moet by the glass.
