About Playhaus
Water Street in Gastown puts this within walking distance of the neighbourhood's bars and late-night food, which matters when the doors close at 3am and the crowd spills onto the cobbles. Friday and Saturday are the only nights it opens, both running 10pm to 3am, and the room fills quickly with a mix of Vancouver locals, American and South American visitors, and tourists drawn in off the strip. The floor runs on trance, house and commercial hits at a volume that keeps people moving rather than seated, though bottle service and VIP booths are there for groups who want a base. Smart casual is enough to get past the door, drinking age is 19 and the crowd skews 25 to 45, with prices sitting in a mid-range band that keeps it accessible year-round.
