One common complaint about Vancouver is a lack of 'late night vibe'. Thankfully Main Street has blossomed into this arena in recent years and you will find the stretch of places to go from 12th through 2nd Avenue in the Mount Pleasant area.
Bar-hopping is possible after about 9pm but if you plan on arriving to eat anytime 6pm through 8pm I suggest making a reservation.
Most spaces are warmly lit in winter and expand out onto the sidewalk with summer patios in fine weather. There's a variety of themed venues and probably the most popular over summer 2022 was Sing Sing. This relaxed space has craft beer and Asian comfort food.. including pho. There's often a live DJ and the space opens well past midnight.
If you are looking for something a little more intimate try the Narrow Lounge or Key Party speakeasy bars around 7th and 2nd Avenue.
