Bar None Nightclub

My buddy and I walked in here pretty early in the night, around 10PM. We paid the cover ($ 15CAN), and walked right on in. I asked the girl at the front desk for the wifi password, as I turned off my roaming data. Some dude who worked there quickly snapped, saying this was a club and that they don’t give out the wifi password. I guess bad attitudes aren’t exclusive to LA and Vegas clubs.
My buddy and I brushed that off, and proceeded to buying some beers. The bartender girl gave off a very bad attitude as well. Spotting her is easy: she is tall, blonde, and older looking that the rest of the bartenders.
Naturally, we got a bad image of this place, but we decided to stay and see what the crowd was going to be like. There were several groups showing up and getting bottle service. There was eye candy here, and the club starting popping around midnight. We hung out until around 1:30AM, and decided to call it a night after that.
In spite of the first two people being disagreeable, the rest of the staff was actually friendly. The coat check girl was pretty cool, and we chatted a bit about travel adventures. The guy providing paper towels, cologne, and snacks in the men’s restroom was also a chill dude. I tipped both those people well.
As for the guy who initially gave me attitude, I went up to him on two separate occasions to ask him some questions. He seemed to drop his attitude toward the end of the night. However, I do not tolerate that kind of stuff, so I’m docking three stars from this place.
I’ve worked customer service during my undergrad years, and I will be using customer service when I start my medical career. That kind of bad attitude will only be a provider’s detriment. So to the management I say this: screen your employees better. If you need to know who I’m talking about specifically, please contact me via private message.

Hands down BEST nightclub I’ve ever twerked in. Sounds a little extreme eh? Lemme tell you why I had such a bombtastic time my birthday weekend this year!
Despite standing in line for about an hour AND paying a darn cover… the music that was blasting in here as we were waiting was makin’ this booty twitch like crazy!!!
There was some kind of vodka promotional event the night we chose to hit up Bar None so walking in and taking a «red carpet» photo while being handed vodka shots was straight LEGIT!
You will find chic and classy dressed Vancouverites at this club, no doubt. Good thing we were dressed the part that night!
This is a club for Hip Hop Heads like myself. You will not hear too much EDM, although they will throw in a few Top 40 hits here and there. Not only did EVERY SINGLE SONG that the DJ played had us hyped up but we made some new lifelong friends this night as well.
I cannot wait to be back in VanCity to have so much twerkalicious fun again at Bar None!
p. s. Thank YOU to the cute and super friendly host that night for hookin’ it UP with a birthday shot!
Check out the footage of this night on my YouTube vlog:

Love this place, it’s clean, it’s safe, the music is good and so are the drinks. A little on the pricey side but you get what you pay for.

Nice décor, great music. Upscale area. First time at the club, my friends & I enjoyed our nite.
Will def return to this club the next time we come back for visit.

Dancers are so sexy! Aah!!! Ever since I came to Vancouver from Calgary, there is possibly only one place in BC, i saw people enjoyed allot and party hard and that is Barnone NightClub.

Not a fan! Had a guest list for a work function that disappeared somehow. Even after I pulled out the conformation Email the girl at the door tried to charge cover for all of us girls at 10:45pm. Drinks were a bit expensive, crowd was interesting and the music sucked. Felt more like a pub then a club. Younger crowd, high in the Asian population.

Since I moved to Vancouver one year ago, there was really only one place I really saw people party hard… that was at the Bar None. Kudos to DJs Relik & Downlowe who kept the hits coming one after the other.

Growing up in Vancouver, you get to know the party areas in Vancity pretty well. Yaletown has the older pricier vibe, Granville is mainstream especially for younger crowds up to dance all night, Gastown is the for the alternative hipster, East Van is for the crays, and Seymour St. has a lot of prostitu…
But you know this, everyone that came up in this city knows this. So, when you get told about a nightclub in Yaletown, you already get an image in your head about what you’re going to get. And Bar None portrays that image perfectly.
So, I don’t get why there are so many bad reviews on this place, most from people whining about the high prices. You already know this being in Yaletown. If you don’t want to get overcharged — don’t party in Yaletown.
Regular cover this night was $ 30 because there was a special DJ here according to one of my brother’s friends who was working the door. I didn’t recognize the DJ, but she was playing a lot of house and decent dance mashups. The dance floor wasn’t packed, but everyone was dancing, there was barely anyone standing to the side.
My brother’s friend apologized for the high cover, told our group he wasn’t allowed to give out comps tonight, and told the guestlist girl to give us cover cards so the cashier charged us $ 15 each, and they let us line skip. I thought it was nice of him, my brother and his group have started hanging out here more, so at least Bar None takes care of its regulars.
The people in our group said service at Bar None was always courteous and top-​notch to its usuals. And it struck me as a place with a good amount of the same loyal party goers every weekend. The place had a fun looking crowd, certainly less intense than on Granville, but otherwise it seemed the same. The club looked swanky and everything was clean.
We left to Caprice and Venue later in the night, because we had planned to club hop anyways since it was a Bday Party. I’d say, overall this place was better than Venue that Saturday night, not as busy as Caprice/L.E.D. bar.

Bar None club is a decent club with sexy go go dancers (nice touch!) but definitely not up to the standards of Hong Kong or New York. Vancouver clubs always tries to be swank, but despite being in the most «upscale» neighborhood Yaletown it fails to deliver the best, even though I give A+ for effort.
Anyway, we were very lucky as we had VIP table with bottle service and I really enjoyed the private area even though there were lots of people around anyway.
The scene, definitely a meat market… hahahahaha!!! Sleazy guys hitting on me asking me for my phone number. Girls are generally dressed and made-​up like Kim Kardashian, generally beautiful girls dressed to impress with killer heels. Dance floor is PACKED! Luckily I had very nice company who took me home after numerous drinks.
Thanks Michael and Ronny for taking me!

Was visiting Vancouver for the weekend. I waited outside for a half hour in the cold. Come on man… you just opened. There is no one inside, so there’s plenty of room. Let us in! Total BS in my opinion, so they could use patrons as marketing. I left and refused to give the bar my money.
Bumped it up to a 2^nd star only because the neighborhood is cool. I’d suggest many of the other spots in the area to party.

This really isn’t a very good bar. The staff are rude, the drinks are overpriced. There are so many great venues in Vancouver, but this is not one of them.
I’ve definitely experienced better.
The staff in this bar is overly aggressive. Stay away from this bar unless you want to get assaulted by one of the bouncers or waitresses.

I’ve never had a bad time here. Great place to meet people as the usual crowd is a mix of different ethnicities and ages. Friday night is the best night to go as well don’t forget to make guestlist as sometimes the line very long.

Well, another 4 star night for me at the Donnelly Group. You would never guess NYE was just days away with the crowd that was there. The Friday evening started slow but within an hour the place was packed. Even though all the (hot, young, female) bartenders/​waitresses stood around playing on their phones ignoring early customers at the bar,. It was a dead zone I still had to carry my own tray of shots over to my table. It wasn’t a flaming bottle of Grey Goose, so I guess it was not worth the effort! However, once they turned the lasers on they won me over!
I have to say this is the closest i have been to a rave in 10 years! (Even the same expensive cover + thumping bass + hot & sweaty inside). And who are these crazy people buying $ 300 bottles just to sit at a table… Geez ???
(What should I expect for a nightclub in Yaletown of course, $$$$)
Anyone who says there is no nightlife in Vancouver has never been here. Beautiful people. A few d-​bags on steroids almost started a fight but i broke it up. I did, really!
I am sitting by the DJ booth right now and what is that STINK… IT STINKS IN HERE… is it the fog machine??? Upstairs and downstairs. Gross… Fix that… Yuck… or get rid of the machine, I know if makes the lasers look cool but there MUST be another way! Light a bunch of incense or something! :D
Oh and a note, the coat check is downstairs so if you see a line it is for the coat check not the restroom. And also the woman commanding the guest list when we arrived (Michelle/​Melissa?) she was GREAT!!!

Honestly, Bar None is a decent club — but I don’t think it should have a page on Unilocal,because it’s trying desperately to be as exclusive as possible. It shouldn’t even be advertised to the public, because it’s basically a private club for rich people and friends of the owners.
You will absolutely NOT get in until you whip your wallet out for security. I honestly can’t believe that this place can be so greedy to expect this. $ 20 EACH. I have been clubbing a lot of places, and while the security are usually unfriendly jackasses, NEVER have I been forced to pay them in order to be allowed in. After this, $ 20 each for cover. And then $ 5 each for coat check. Before I’ve even hit the dance floor I’ve spent more than I normally do in a whole weekend.
After the giant slap in the face at the door, I was expecting the reveal of a Las Vegas-​calibre superclub with tons of hot go-​go dancers, light shows, flair bartending and great music. Unfortunately none of these things was included. It was dark, smelled like a smoke machine, full of annoying people, and blaring with annoying music. Attention DJ, if you’re going to play music that you can hear for free on the radio, at least have the decency to mix it into a house track. There were go-​go dancers, but they were dancing up against the wall, seemed like they didn’t know how to dance, and, big surprise, they were only visible from the VIP section.
Unsurprisingly, the bartenders were just as unfriendly and douchey as security. We paid for drinks with a credit card (because we blew all of our cash at the door), and they automatically added a 25% tip and made us sign some stupid waiver (not the receipt) that authorized them to do so. When was the last time you tipped someone that much? Sigh.
Well, I think I’ve made it pretty obvious that Bar None ruined my weekend. I implore you. unless you are friends with security or management here, stay away!

Very hot looking crowd. At least the women. I just wish I could see them for longer than a few seconds while a sparkler on a bottle of grey goose whisks by (it’s very dark here, the darkest bar I’ve ever been to).
Women were a mix of friendly and reacting like you just told them their dog just died.

The music on Friday night was awesome! The dancing was great too. But neither the music or dancing was enough to justify the astronomical $ 18 cover charge, the $ 5 per item coat and bag check in and the crazy ass prices for drinks. $ 15.50 for two Gin and tonics, that seems expensive to me. Or maybe I’m over exaggerating.
There was a very diverse crowd on Friday night. Seemed like there were super young people and ancient people as well and there were drunks and creepers. Not that it’s a bad thing. A variety of people definitely makes for an interesting and entertaining evening. The club itself is super dark, which I don’t think is a good thing, you can’t really see who you are dancing with. Having beer goggles coupled with the dark can lead to a lethal combination of bad and regretful decisions, not that I made them. That’s just not me. But I do feel bad for those who had to suffer though lol.

If you think the usual yaletown crowd is pretentious and ridiculous, the crowd at bar none will blow your mind. Seeing as how I live in a ski town, maybe I’m a bit out of touch with the trends in the city, but come on… These guys seriously need to lay off the hair gel and buy larger shirts. This is vancouver, not the Jersey shore, and you are NOT a guido, no matter how hard you try.
I was trying to have a fun night out with my girls, and these guys couldn’t understand the concept of personal space nor sexual harassment. If I’m dancing and obviously ignoring you, that is NOT an invitation to grind your package on my backside. When one of the girls finally had enough and pushed a guy off her, security came up and asked her to leave.
In a nutshell, Bar None harbors douche bags, promotes sexual harassment, and will punish you for cock blocking (and you won’t get your $ 18 cover back)…

Can’t believe there is still the antiquated practice of bribing the door staff just so you can then pay cover.
I go once a decade, then am swiftly reminded why I don’t go back.

This place has existed here forever but the vibe has changed considerably. It just keeps getting yuppier by the year. But I’m ok with that. It comes with the Yaletown neighbourhood.
I generally h ave 4 star experiences here but only because I always come with a group of people I like.
This is probably the better (and one of the only) bars on the East side of granville street.
Let’s put it this way, i’d be happy to go if my friends chose this place but it’s never ever a venue I would choose myself.

As my BFF puts it… «bar get none»…
That should pretty much sum it up.
The music was good — I had fun anyways there. Bartenders are pretty attentive and quick. The staff pretty smiley as you enter and leave. I liked the exposed brick and wood décor. Bathrooms/​coat check are all downstairs. Lots of decent looking people and well dressed (not trashy). Wish we had more of that from the bar hopping/​club going people in Seattle.
