Being Friday, and seeing how my mind is somewhat distracted from doing work, I thought I might spark a small discussion here that you can all participate in. Clubs. As part of my lacking childhood, I didn't go clubbing until well into university. And even as sparsely as I go now, I'm more of a clubber now than ever. So, here's the topic: what are the best clubs/lounges/restaurants in the Greater Vancouver area? They don't even really have to be the best, just places you recommend others visit at least once. Give us a name, some pros, some cons, some other random information about the place. I'll start.

Crush Lounge, Vancouver: Went to this place for the first time recently. Fairly good ambience, got really crowded. Lots of sitting area, comfy chairs. Drinks weren't too badly priced. I wasn't quite feelin' the music (kinda retro, 70's, 80's), but I guess it was ok for lounging.

Rain Premiere Lounge and Grill, Burnaby: Again, only been here once, and it was for a Canucks game. I wouldn't recommend it for a Canucks game... especially when they're going to lose. Only one big screen (which wasn't that big), and the site lines weren't good unless you sat in the center circle. But the place is nicely decorated, looking really modern... and you can't beat 10-cent wings (Wednesdays, w/ purchase of $5 of drinks).
