    Like a speakeasy of yore, The Diamond’s unassuming second-floor entrance belies the party inside: this is Vancouver’s top cocktail spot for its crowd and constitution. Read more

    Order an Old Fashioned!! They'll bring you a beer, cider or sparkling wine while you wait for them to make the most perfect of classic cocktails.

    Everything you're looking for in a speakeasy inspired watering hole. Elegant yet understated, great drinks and a lovely view. Hit this up in the evening.

    Bourbon sombrero is an incredible well-balanced boozy cocktail. B-roll of was being filmed outside of people repeating crossing the street ...

    Somehow successfully pulling off the dark and intimate vibe of a cocktail lounge combined with the breeziness its second floor views.

    Great mint julep! Actually comes in a pewter cup. Their corpse reviver is also really good. The Clover Club at Pourhouse is just a tad better than the one here though.

    Drinks at the Diamond are divided into fun & approachable categories like Delicate, Proper & Notorious (w/ little illustrations showing which glass each cocktail comes in). And they don’t disappoint!

    Avoid the olive appetizer, try the edamame instead. Most cocktails will suit you well as long as you like the components. For a mouth-melting time, get the short ribs sub—delicious!

    Get the Old Fashioned. They take their time making it properly, and gives you a beer while you wait.

    Head upstairs for an unbelievable atmosphere and cocktail menu...seriously, AMAZING drinks. Food isn't veggie friendly and more for nibbling.

    Gyoza goes in the duck sub, duck sub gets dipped in the crab and corn soup. Sip on a penicillin. Believe me.

    The bartenders will make any drink you want....Pisco Sour, Mint Julep, whatever your heart desires they seem happy to oblige.

    Most unsanitary bartending I have ever seen. Bartender's fail to realize that I've is food. They use their hands to put it in drinks, pick cubes up and drop them back in the bin.

    The Gyoza is almost as remarkable as their Crab and Corn soup. I enjoy both with an Isabella.

    Go to the Diamond for the excellent cocktails but make sure you soak up the booze with the wicked Vietnamese-style duck sub sandwich.

    Ask for the off menu mint julep. It comes in a traditional pewter cup and packs a punch.
