Bar None Nightclub Review

By Matt Coolen

Getting into Bar None (despite the name) can be tough, DHM is widely known for having the toughest clubs in the city to get passed the doors, even on the guestlist expect a wait (see my getting passed the ropes guide for a few hints).

Once you are in you will be amongst some of the hottest people in the city, in an ultra cool, new york loft esq space. The exposed brick and wooden beams you see in Bar None are not unlike anything you expect to see down any random alley in the meat packing district, and being right in the heart of Yaletown, all of the beautiful people that congregate at Glowbal, Earls, Section 3, and other various resto / lounges scattered in the area, migrate to Bar None around midnight.

When you walk in there is an extremely long bar down the left hand side of the room. This bar can get full and even though its really long there are usually not enough bartenders to handle it. On the right side of the room in the corner closest to the entrance you'll see a much smaller bar, that is also usually fairly crowded, but most of the time is easier to get a drink at.....what are you waiting for, get a drink! Get me one while your at it.

The rest of the room is very wide open with the DJ playing in the back right corner. If you are there on a night resident Matty C is spinning, then you got a good night and probably a packed dance floor.

Table Service:
The bottle service area is just passed the DJ booth inside the VIP area, there is also a bar in the back of this area, but in less your incredibly hot, know someone there, or are buying bottles, you'll never see this bar, and if you're buying bottles you won't need to.

Don't worry though, you're not missing much if you can't get back into this area, just hotter, richer, and generally more important people than probably every crowd you've ever encountered. Do yourself a favor - say yes to bottle service.

Bar None's Hottest Night:
I know this isn't the only time I've said this, but go any Friday or Saturday night and you won't be disappointed. Actually far from it. To thank me for the tip ill be accepting donations in the form of vodka and redbull's, bottles of Belvedere, or just large bills in envelopes....bills as in cash, don't try to slap your cable bill on me or something.
