THE DIAMOND

The Diamond has an impressive cocktail list, and for good reason, this trendy Gastown bar is also a bartending school. The place is nice both at the end of the day and in the evening with large windows overlooking the outside and long benches. The menu is full of tasty international dishes such as mac & cheese, toast, and other snacks. You can finish on a sweet note by ordering a carrot cake or a chocolate mousse. A DJ is often invited to animate the evenings.
