Hollywood Hangout Opus Bar named Vancouver's Hottest Nightspot: Zagat

(Vancouver, BC) -- Yaletown's Opus Bar has been named the most popular nightspot in Vancouver by Zagat, the world's leading consumer survey-based leisure guide.

Over 1,750 local area Zagat surveyors contributed to ratings and reviews for 248 top restaurants, bars and nightclubs in the new guide, declaring, "The upscale lounge with abundant eye candy, otherwise known as the Opus Bar, takes top honors as the Most Popular nightspot in town."

Opus Hotel is well known for housing Hollywood A-listers on location, or those just hiding out in the jewel of Canada's west coast. "Keep your paparazzi eyes open at this sexy hangout for movie stars," affirms the guide.

"We're thrilled Zagat has recognized Opus Bar as the hottest nightspot in town," says General Manager Daniel Craig. "Our staff have worked hard to create just the right ambiance and to deliver an elevated all-round lounge experience."

In Opus Bar an eclectic mix of contemporary and period piece furnishings mesh with a melee of contrasting colours, textures and fabrics that contribute to the very unique design aesthetic. Innovative cocktails are delivered with friendly, attentive service along with 'O-bites' created by celebrated chef Don Letendre of the hotel's acclaimed bistro moderne, Elixir. A nightly live DJ hits just the right tempo and iridescent lighting sets the scene for the international style savvy crowd it draws. Uniquely stylish and always fresh, Opus Hotel redefines the boutique experience, blending contemporary design with warmth and intuitive service. Located in fashionable Yaletown, the hotel is home to bistro moderne Elixir and the dramatic Opus Bar.
