The Roxy Night Club Review

The Roxy - Granville Street, Vancouver

The Roxy Night Club is located in Vancouver on the shit-strip known as Granville Street.

It is pretty easy to find as it generally is the place with the longest line up out the front and with the big red sign saying "Roxy"

If you are looking for cheap thrills, obnoxious bouncers, stupid women, testosterone champions, hybrid barbie dolls and expensive drinks then the roxy is the place for you.


Cheap Thrills.

It is also the best place in town to stand outside and have a chat and get to know the other 50 or so people that legitimately line up beside you as the bouncers let all their friends in over the course of a few hours.

On Monday night the atmosphere changes slightly, where people are encouraged to wear cowboy hats. My buddy Matt said this was alot of fun, and I am sure he is right, but then again getting hit in the knee with a cricket bat can be considered fun if you are drunk enough.

One of the few places in Vancouver considered bad enough to be given black-listed status by everyone I know (yeah, i don't know many people, but the people I know are better than 96% of the people you are likely to find in the roxy, bouncers included). It is also one of the few places that has been lucky enough to witness a front of the line walkaway from my friends and i because of the nauseating attitude of the bouncers.

I give the Roxy 4 thumbs down . Go to the Royal instead. The drinks are cheaper, the line actually moves and its almost guaranteed to pump come 2 oclock when the Roxy is closing (because it sucks like a high powered vaccuum cleaner (or Pam Anderson))
