Nice nightclub, two stories, 3 bars, huge dance floor, and great services and staff.

kiarash sammak

Other places better cause bouncers are nicer else where

Frankie Lennel

One of my favourite places to go on the weekend! I'm always treated well by the bartender near the front (Nicole). Would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to have a fun time and listen to some good music

Melita Brežnik

Nice ambiance, great for dancing salsa on Tuesdays!

Zohar Levin

Why only credit why???? the place is really nice design wise....

Jessie Leal

By far the worst bar ever !!! Makes people line up and then never lets them in the door. Only let the people that they like in the door talk about picking and choosing people can't believe this bar what a bloody joke !!!!! Don't go there unless ur okay with forking out money to bribe the bouncers!!!!

Michael Morgan Bain

Cute venue but the staff attitudes... Really poor. I organized an event here recently via my company and I wouldn't repeat. I'd advise other organizers to be careful if they want warm, friendly and attentive or collaborative teams. What we got were people who saw us as an inconvenience as we paid their bills.

Edward Zhang

Best place, cheap booze, beautiful girls

Luke Burden

Not a very memorable venue.

kylie McClung

Cool chandelier

Isabel

Good music, good atmosphere

I was thr on Saturday night. And my experience while entering is horrible. Can you imagine bouncer standing in main gate asking for bribe to get you in if you are not in Que. We waited for 40 minutes till 10.40pm and few guys paid some extra money to this white heavy bouncer on entry and entered without any waiting… when I asked him, he said they paid extra money… Seriously, such a club taking extra $ to skip the line that too cash ????…I don’t know why people were waiting outside till 1am.. The club is small and charging for your jacket ???? is insane. Overcrowded after 12…. We spend around $ 200 but nothing so great…

Had a good time! You can take great pictures here, with amazing lighting even if it’s dark. I wasn’t a big fan of the music but that depends on everyone’s taste! It was mostly hiphop and rap, I’m more into edm. I still danced a lot, but there were a lot of weird people on the dance floor. The entrance was free before 11pm (I guess probably 10pm, I honestly don’t remember). You could get a stamp and go outside afterwards. Very friendly staff and great location! If you are on Grandville street, just get a stamp. You don’t have to come back but just in case. The line was very short and we didn’t really needed to wait, which is great ! Overall I wouldn’t go again but I’m still glad I spend one evening in the nightclub.

WORST BAR EVER!! THE TALL WHITE BROWN HAIRED FEMALE BARTENDER RIPS YOU OFF AND SCAMS YOU FOR TIPS!. Me and my friends went and it was 3$ dollar tequilas we ordered 3 tequilas (9$). Gave her 16$ and she face us back 2$. Got 2 4$ Budweiser's (8$) we gave her a 20$ and she gave us back 7$ She also gave me a broken beer bottle when she removed the cap,. Cut my lip open was bleeding all-night and had tons of blood . She refused to help me or do anything to make up for it. Your not safe using debit either she charged me 14$ for an 11$ order and I confronted her about or after this being the 3rd time. Do not go if you can go to a different bar. Unless you want to be ripped off, stolen from, have bloody cut up lips from aggressive bartenders being to rough with the bottle opener. Go to the metropolitan or funky winker beans for karaoke. I guess the bartender must be needing the money bad if she's willing to take advangtaglf drunk people and steal from them. Don't go here.

Paisley D

More people should come here, it is really cool!!

Greg Pappas

Never had a bad time here. Sound system is great. Open pool table. Great big open layout. Not greasy compared to most spots on Granville.

Simon Cunningham

I had a good time. DJ whookid was a classic show to see. DJ Arems as always was dope. Didn’t wait in long lines inside or outside but the place was packed. So I’d say this is a great spot to enjoy drinks and music. Craig the promoter was also a great host! Thanks guys

Ru Colminas

Danny is a legend. Very fast at his job and incredibly personable. It’s very refreshing to see someone who cares about their job. Gg Bro!!

Amal Varghese

Unfriendly staffs and security. Lost my jacket there and their response was rude.

Julian Sloman

They don't serve tap water - even though they serve alcohol! In Canada that's not only rude but illegal.

Hola Mi Gente

My cousins and I wanted to celebrate a night out cause it was my last weekend in Vancouver. Everything was going well till midnight. The club was jam packed, we were in our circle dancing. We would witness female employees squeezing their way through the crowd towards the DJ booth and VIP. It was awkward and uncomfortable to be constantly interrupted by these female employees. It got real when Studio’s female employee, Stephanie (Colombian) walked through our circle and accused my cousin of grabbing her behind. We were all shocked because he was escorted out of the club. Half an hour later, the bouncer named, Paul (brown guy) stated I had to leave the club because I was starring at Stephanie and displaying hand gestures. My cousin, demanded a refund for her and I because our night was ruined. Our night turned around when my other cousin spoke to the Promoter. She is acquainted with the Latin night club and her friend was the promoter. He validated that I was a well meaning guy and would never do anything inappropriately. We enjoyed the remaining night in VIP without my cousin, Marcos. By 2:00am my cousin Val and I decided to email Studio night club about our experience. We thanked their staff for refunding our night and placing us in VIP. However, we were not satisfied with Stephanie’s claim that our cousin, Marcos grabbed her behind. Before leaving we approached the manager (Greek guy). He seems like a pleasant man and offered free admission. My cousin Val spoke to Stephanie and she stated that Marcos did not grab her behind. He touched her lower back and grabbed his hand before he could touch her behind. Realizing the tight environment, Marcos used his hand to keep his distance from Stephanie walking by. Therefore, Stephanie falsely claimed that Marcos grabbed her behind, this is called RACIAL PROFILING. I have yet to receive a response from Studio. I would appreciate a formal apology to my cousin Marcos for falsely accusing him of harassment and refund his night. This accusation is shameful and inappropriate. Also, that Studio reprimand Stephanie, she does not deserve to work in a nightclub.

Plenty of space. Nice music. Good environment. Security should keep taking out aggressive guys and the bartender (blond girl) was rude and not respectful, looked tired.

Nat Chiu

My friends and I went on a Friday night, hoping to get some cheap drinks and just some fun. However, we were greeted with very bad costumer service, to store our bags it costs us $8 (which is a lot). On top of that, we went upstairs, the drinks were ranged from $100-$1200 (which is insane.) Later, I took out my vodka that I bought from a liquor store, and I wasn’t even planning on drinking it. The lady at the bar then proceeds to just take my vodka away and asked the security guard to walk us out - without any explanation. This all happened in a span of 15 minutes, we lost $8 and a bottle of vodka, plus our pride. Absolutely horrible service, terrible price ranges, totally not worth it. DO NOT COME HERE. Also, there was nobody in the club, the atmosphere was just sad.

Don Wilson

I wonder if some day somebody will make a club in vancouver with decent beer and other drinks

Shane Nelson

Will never go here again.

Renan Willian

I chose to celebrate my birthday at Studio, hoping to have lots of fun, but unfortunately that's not what happened. The staff is super rude and it seems like the culture that comes from managers is very MISOGYNIST. At some point during the night, I was dancing with my friends and we decided to go up on that little stage in front of the DJ. As soon as I got up there, a bouncer came abruptly, grabbing me by my neck and threw me out of the stage. I had no idea what I had done wrong, since I was just dancing with my girl friends like every one else up there. Later I was told that only girls can be in that stage, which is very questionable. I was so upset and embarrassed by the way I was treated in front of everyone, and that definitely ruined my night. I would NOT in a million years recommend this place to anyone I know. Specially if you're a feminist or part of the LGBTQ+ community, this is not a safe place for you. Go somewhere else!

Good

Vanessa Mailhot

Bathrooms are somewhat clean. Bartenders are very nice! Atmosphere of place is good

Bill Lundeen

Wasn’t too bad, other than the fact that a member of our group was groped by an employee.

Connor Purdie

Great place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day if you prefer smaller crowds and good music. Full service bar, but no food available.

Philip Jackle

Meh, beat is the same all night. Every song brings to mind "hey! I kinda remember this song!... It was OK I guess... :S ". Some places are fun and pump you up. This place always feels like you have to fight a bit to make yourself have fun. Prob won't come back, unless for a special party or other reason.

Eric Halinen

Bought tickets for a performance, the act never played and no refund has been given. They essential completely lied about performing acts and stole my money. Any request for a refund has been ignored. Avoid this dishonest establishment at all costs.

chelsea

I highly recommend that you do not go here. The staff are completely disorganized, unknowledgeable and extremely rude. I booked table reservations for myself and my friends which were confirmed by the assistant manager Roxy through email. Upon arriving to attend our reservations on time, the bouncer asked for my name which I gave and he then told us there was no reservation for us. I pulled up all the email proof between me and the manager which he took to show the owner. The owner came out and insisted he would “take care of us” ok. Great. We get escorted inside and taken upstairs. We get seated at a table that could only fit 4 of us and this table was supposed to be for 8 people. Due to covid protocols you have to stay seated, so I guess they expected us to sit on the floor or something. After the drink menu gets tossed on our table, we noticed that we were seated in an area that required purchasing bottle service. I called prior to coming, I emailed prior to coming and I also messaged on Instagram before coming to double and TRIPLE check that we did not have to purchase bottle service to have table reservations. I got MULTIPLE confirmations that as long as our group consisted of more than 4 people, then no minimum is necessary for a table. I explained to the bartender upstairs that we were not meant to be seated in the VIP area and that there had been a misunderstanding and our table reservations originally were for downstairs but that the manager never ended up writing my name down. She told us she would get it sorted for me. After a few minutes, someone came up to us, I’m assuming he was the main manager and he told us that in order to be upstairs we HAVE to purchase bottle service. I tried to explain to him that we never chose to be up there and I showed him the emails discussing reserving a table with his co-worker and he was absolutely disgusting toward me. He wouldn’t even look at me or the messages that I was trying to show him. He told me he didn’t care and that because of covid, they have a limited capacity. He said my reservations never existed. He was so rude and ignorant. I couldn’t believe the disrespect from this person. This company shouldn’t even be in business with how completely disorganized they are and how they think they can treat their customers. Oh, can’t forget they have now blocked me from all social media after using my voice and explaining my situation on their platforms... can you say.. GUILTY? avoid this place at all costs.

Best service ever and the bar-backs wonderful awesome mx

Georgie Sanderson

Nye was lit here. Reasonable drink prices and the music is great

Leonardo Lamus

The party is very nice!!

s nelson

DONT GO HERE, ITS TERRIBLE !!!! The owner is ignorant and staff are overworked. They lost our jackets that we COAT CHECKED, and refused to contact after promising to reimburse us. Horrible music selection too and they're not open for crowd suggestions.

David Thompson

Saw Good for Grapes! they were amazing

Sahil Sharma

Your bodyguard are to rude they always misbehave with the international students we earn money to hard and come sometime for enjoying but without any resin they send us out from the club every time

Lauren Sedlar

This place really gets busy, especially on the weekends. Full service bar

Matt Albert

Beers are $10 each, which is way to expensive for the average customer and for a mediocre bar. Bouncers tend to use excessive force on its customers. Not only have I witnessed it, but asking questions to one of the bouncers is apparently good enough reason to strike someone in the face. After asking the for the bouncers name, once the police got involved, the bouncer disappeared and the others happened to not know his name.

Satinder Shergill

It's best just sit home and watch Netflix , I had one of the worst experience in this club . Bouncer are worse #StayAway

Yuliya Taustsiak

Worst club. Waited for 2 hours and didn’t get in

moncif ait ahmed

I have been there a couple times. Brand new music, artists, DJs all the time and cheap drinks! I had zero drama "Great place, definitely a go to for a Friday or Saturday night."

Natalia Smirnova

Good salsa lessons

Rahim Hassanali

Smaller club,good music, not many single girls

Mike Gamble

Always great live music

Anhad Gill

Great Salsa instructor. I am taking an 8 week course and he does a very good job at teaching salsa step by step.

Katie Ferris Witherspoon

Love dancing here on Tuesday nights

Dee-Ann

Love, love LOVE this place on a Tuesday night! The music is spectacular and I leave with a huge smile on my face - not actually wanting to leave but the #UglyStick starts chasing me at a certain time and I must get my #BeautySleep to make up for that situation. ;-)

Alonso Rosas

great place to enjoy!

Kayla Justus

this place is trash. Disgusting environment, disgusting "employees" and "bouncers". Don't even waste your money on these clowns.

George Fruean

Really nice stuff

Kristina Thornton

Good venue for dancing. But staff never came to clean up a bottle of beer that had spilled on the floor and made the hard surface dangerously slippery.

Aiden Smith

Latin night is an absolute must!!! Larry the promoter treated us like family, the staff were attentive, and the security made us feel safe. Super fun energy, great music. Definitely coming here again

Gaelan Rommes

What a terrible joint. We really tried to enjoy this space, but the bouncers actively encouraged rape and aggression towards females. Really sickening place. On top of that, management apparently does not clean beer taps or take care of bathrooms. Please avoid for your safety.

Rob Long

Small club. Easy going atmosphere.

Ramir Sioson

Good friendly vibe and relaxed place. Staff is very friendly.

Bruno Ferreira

I only want to focus my comment on my bad experience with the staff member who served me. Unprofessional all around. Lacks maturity, willingness handling older generations. If I was the boss, I'm not sure if I'd even hire him to clean the toilets. everything else looks much great when compared with with my experience with this gentlemen who happened to try to serve me

Seo Looker

Cool place but zero service or cleanliness! Only one bar man and no one cleaning tables or walking the floors. Could be a really cool spot if there was some service and cleanliness. Got potential but not busy due to lack of service and dirty location. Too bad.

Ale “Alejandra” S.

Wish they played newer music and updated on the latest hits, their music gets kinda old

Polina Golik

Salsa Tuesdays 9pm

James Stewart

Decor was great and saw some excellent bands. Drinks are expensive and my beer was frozen in the bottle, bartender wouldn't switch it out for a drinkable one.

Wynn Hardy

It's a dive bar even if the outside says other wise.

Ramtin 2000

Very bad service, I asked for limes & they suddenly kicked me out and said I threw limes on the bartender like i didn’t do anything, so I don’t know why they aggressively kicked me out for no acceptable reason at all....

Maria Dmitrieva

We were first in the line and had been waiting for more than one hour. They were "filtering" people and deciding how many guests to let in. The worst experience we've had with Vancouver clubs.

Ramtin Rad

The black bouncer was so prejudice and racist with me I was kind of taken off guard but honestly not suprised seeing such prejudice coming from a person that should be supporting minorities. Not!

Rohit Mathur

Best night club experience! It was well worth the money spent. The music was great and there was ample space to dance...Besides the DJ, special shout out for Vanessa at the bar who made us some exquisite cocktails!

Daniel Helmer

Don't go to this club if you are an indigenous woman or they will restrain and brutally beat you

Ay Gee

Fun, fun, fun! These people know how to treat you to a good night. There are some other decent places in the area but this is my go-to spot. The gentleman upstairs in the back and the blonde bartender in the front are my favourites! They are always a pleasure to be around

monique irwin

Absolutely amazing employees and they definitely made my 19th one to remember ????

Daniele Ceccarelli

First review in my life. Went there on Saturday. We were dancing and 2 of my friends, after finish their beer, they put the empty bottles on the small stage in front of the DJ station (no sign that you can’t put your beer there). They have been assaulted, powerful chocked from the back and kicked out from the nightclub. One girl accidentally felt down in a vip table upstairs and she has been kicked out too, pretty rude too but no choking. Staff people can’t abuse of their ‘power’ . they are really ignorant , always looking for some small mistake from people that are having fun and looking for faith. I’m disgusted. So remember if you go studio put the empty in your pockets and don’t even think to felt down, no heels !

Harmanmeet Singh

a******s

Jerry Ocol

Maybe you guys should clean the washrooms and maybe the bouncers should stop letting in loser guys hitting on unsuspecting women at this club. My women friends complained about one of the bouncers letting in loser guys hitting on women who don't want the attention. They seem to let in the same creepy guys all the time.... Just watch out for this place....

Jerry Salbac

always treated good when i am in town and visit here.. thx nicole.. u are awesome!

aman khangura

worst club.......would love to give Zero star to this if possible or even in negative numbers

Walt Z

We came for a work party and had a table upstairs. All the staff were really nice. It was my first time here but it won't be my last! Came downstairs towards the end of the night for some drinks near the bar at the front and that chick was real cool too! Overall, great night

Nicole S.

Fun place to learn how to salsa dance and meet new friends. Definitely go early for the free lesson!

Nandan Sahni

Worst bouncers ever, especially the old man with a flap cap. He is so rude and thinks he owns everyone. He does not know how to talk and trying to pick fights with people for no reason.

X

Is good, but the sucurity in the entrance must check people, they dont check it and someone would bring a weapon inside.

Sylwester

Scammers. I have lost $100 on ticket and I wasn't able to enter.

Sara Ali

Try to avoid this place all together, the staff are extremely rude, and the door men are the rudest I've come across compared to other places in Vancouver and around the world. They do not care or understand anything about customers or customer service, if you have a complaint and bring it to the management, you might as well talk to a wall, you'll find more compassion with a wall.

Nice_One!

Fantastic time. Karaoke second to none

Biome Holdings

Came for first time this weekend on Saturday.. It was really fun.. We had table for work party upstairs.. Makes you feel real VIP! Later came down and had a couple drink by the small bar near the front.. That was real fun too.. Girl working there is super sweet! I recommend!

Danielle T

I honestly don’t know how this establishment continues to operate, the security there is vulgar, aggressive and beyond unprofessional. It’s a shame that this place ended up the way it did. I’m happy to say that this has been shared by so many

Rodrigo BCIT Rodrigues

Well, I was assaulted by one of those securities because I complained that i had to leave my jacket with the receptionist and i wasn’t even talk the them when i was complaining. I spoke with the manager but of course he chose his staff. The security tried to fight with me, pushing me out and I didn’t argue with him, he just keep pushing me out without even listen what I was trying to explain. You can not treat customers like that. The staffs were very rude and unprofessional . International Saturday don’t go. Apparently they need to learn a little bit of customer service. I don’t recommend this place to anybody.

Jay Urban

Worst experience ever. Would never go there anymore. Stayed first in front of the line for two hours. Owner of the club has no shame.

Kooroush Heidarzade

I go to see my friend bartender and am treated well each time .Thx Nicole for your friendly welcome .

Seif Najarian

It was a great night until a creepy guy hits on my friends girlfriend. He tells the guy that she's with him, and a bouncer sees it as aggressive and comes to choke him, proceed to swing at his nose, then call another two bouncers, and kick him out. This is on top of a three bottle order, and bringing in about 40 people. The bouncers do not think logically, they assume everybody's drunk and will not listen to anything you have to say. They then proceeded to pick on the table and forced us to finish the remaining drinks, then kicked us out the back of the place, would not let us out of the front. They only let us in initially because we bought bottle service, though even then, it felt as if they were looking for any reason to remove us.

P. N. D

The bartender guy on Tuesdays is the biggest d-bag you ever met in your life

Jen Liu

the bartenders here are all great, the bouncers are kind of stand off ish but the venue is fun. it's more of a place for older people though but that's fine if you're cool with that and got your own friends

Zamon Hyabo

cool spot,, would come again,, good for party,, bartender at bar near front is nice,, always smiling and makes me feel welcome

Prin T

was in town on the weekend and came pretty early by myself (around 10).. thought i would feel awkward since i was partying alone but nicole made me feel very welcome! thanks for the good night everyone :)

Klara Winery

Good place to go for salsa dance on Tuesday. Diego Sanchez is a very good dance teacher. Really like his complimentary dance lesson.

Sam Cote

Parisa Memarian

My fav club of all time!!

Ana Carolina Almeida

Would give no stars if possible. They treat people like trash, are homophobic, and their staff had completely unacceptable behaviour while I was there celebrating my friend's birthday. I am NEVER going back and deeply do NOT recommend anyone attending this horrible place. This is 2019 in Vancouver... I don't even understand how they are still open.

Jane A

Came for a girls night out and left with great memories! The DJ plays amazing music and the staff was wonderful to us. We started at the front bar with Nicole and that was the right choice! #unforgettable

elif yazici

Maybe they’re struggling because of Covid restrictions but it has to be the most unorganized club, truly not worth it

Fern Griswold

Great place, definitely a go to for a Friday or Saturday night.

Zaheira Racz

This business had MULTIPLE of their security guards beat up a young disabled indigenous woman. She was left in critical condition. They will not take accountability and it’s disgusting. Do mot support this business

Fire Star

Not that great of a place like $20 to get in and $9 a little shot and nothing happens lol you walk in and walk out.

JM

Horrible disgusting beer

Elizabeth Jarvinen

One of my favorite clubs to go to. Mike the manager with tattoos everywhere is the dreamiest
