The Roxy Cabaret

The Roxy Cabaret is a live-music bar and dance club at 932 Granville Street in the Granville Entertainment District of downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The venue is known for cover bands, DJs and theme nights, and it has long been a fixture of the Granville Street strip, where several nightclubs and bars operate within a few blocks. It suits visitors who want a high-energy, sing-along style night out rather than a refined cocktail experience.

The crowd is adult, with a legal drinking age of 19 in British Columbia, and skews toward people in their twenties and thirties, along with groups celebrating birthdays and stag or bachelorette events. Dress is casual to going-out casual, and photo identification is required. The atmosphere is loud, sociable and dancefloor-focused, with a stage for live bands and a room that fills up as the night goes on. Door staff on Granville Street generally enforce the usual rules on ID, intoxication and capacity.

The music centres on cover bands playing familiar rock, pop and dance hits, with DJs and theme nights adding variety on certain evenings. Visitors should check the venue's site at roxyvan.com for the current schedule, since programming varies by night. Drinks include beer, spirits and mixed drinks at typical club prices, with a range of about CAD $8-18 (US $6-13).

Hours are listed as evenings, later on Friday and Saturday, and the exact times should be verified on the website. Weekend cover is about CAD $10-15 after 9pm (US $7-11), while earlier arrival can reduce or avoid the charge. Reservations or table packages may be available for groups, and visitors interested in those should ask the venue directly. Bottle service is not the defining feature of the room.

The Granville Street location is close to the Granville SkyTrain station and the Orpheum Theatre, and late-night buses run along the corridor. The street is busy at closing time, so many visitors use taxis or ride-hailing to leave.
