Hollywood hangout Opus Bar named Vancouver's hottest nightspot: Zagat

(VANCOUVER) -- Opus Bar has been named the “most popular” nightspot in Vancouver by Zagat Survey, the world’s leading leisure consumer information provider.

Opus beat out seven other Vancouver night time destinations for the title in Zagat’s first-ever restaurant, nightlife and attractions guides to Canada’s three largest cities.

While at Opus, the Zagat guide encourages people to “keep your paparazzi eyes open at this sexy hangout for movie stars.” Opus is well-known as the favourite hangout for Hollywood A-listers on location or just hiding out in the jewel of Canada’s west coast.

“We’re thrilled the Zagat survey has put into writing what Vancouver hipsters and Hollywood stars already know: the Opus Bar has the hottest nightlife in town,” says Matt Veinotte, general manager of the Opus Bar and Elixir, the hotel’s modern take on the classic French bistro.

Zagat also calls Opus an “upscale lounge with abundant eye candy,” no doubt reflecting the top marks for décor and service Opus received in the survey.

“With the lush mix of contemporary and period piece furniture, and the iridescent glow of the lighting Opus Bar is perfectly designed for lounging and mingling,” continues Veinotte. “And our staff work hard to ensure the right vibe is set with the music and service. We work hard to provide the chicest nighttime experience in town, and it shows.”

Located in Vancouver’s most contemporary boutique hotel, the Opus Hotel in Yaletown, the stylish and eclectic Opus Bar offers an innovative cocktail list featuring premium wines and spirits, as well as a globally-inspired tapas menu.
