Gastown cocktail bar with a vintage-themed room and a bar-snacks menu.
Clough Club is a cocktail bar at 212 Abbott Street in Gastown, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The room has a vintage theme and is known for a craft cocktail programme supported by a bar-snacks menu. Abbott Street runs through the heart of Gastown, a historic district of brick warehouses and cobbled streets that is one of the city's main areas for restaurants and bars, so the venue is easy to include in an evening spent exploring the neighbourhood.
The crowd is adult and varied, with cocktail enthusiasts, couples, small groups of friends and visitors from nearby hotels. There is no formal dress code, and smart-casual clothing is typical. The mood is intimate and social rather than a high-energy club: the room is designed for conversation over drinks, with a soundtrack that suits the vintage styling and sits at a volume that allows talking. Visitors looking for dancing or a late-night party scene will find the venue more of a pre-dinner or after-dinner stop than a final destination.
The drinks programme focuses on craft cocktails, including house signatures and reworked classics, with a modest selection of beer and wine. Cocktails typically cost around CAD $15-20 (US $11-14). Bar snacks are available to accompany drinks, which suits visitors who want a light bite instead of a full meal.
Hours are listed as evenings, with exact days and closing times best verified on the venue's website, as they can change. The bar lists no cover charge. Reservations are a sensible precaution for groups and for Friday and Saturday evenings, since the room is relatively compact and Gastown is busiest at weekends. Bottle service is not a feature of the venue; the emphasis is on individually crafted drinks.
The nearby Gastown Steam Clock, Maple Tree Square and Water Street restaurants make it easy to pair Clough Club with dinner. Waterfront Station is a short walk away for SkyTrain and bus connections, although taxis and ride-hailing are common choices late at night.
