Victoria's neon-lit Korean pocha pub, where you pile the table with tteokbokki and pour each other rounds of soju all night.
Yates Street, Downtown
More infoA pocha is Korea's late-night tent bar, loud, bright, and deliberately chaotic, and Victoria Pocha transplants the whole energy into a club-ish room with tablet ordering and a wall of soju and makgeolli that doubles as a dare. Pile the table with tteokbokki and bubbling stews, pour each other rounds, and let the happy-hour Sapporo carry the conversation. Opened in 2023, sitting at 4.6. Come hungry and thirsty.
This is the fun-over-fancy stop, so grab a table, hit the tablet, and over-order, tteokbokki, something fried, and a bubbling stew to share, then pour each other rounds from the soju-and-makgeolli list. Don't miss the happy-hour deals (the $6 Sapporo is a steal) and a bottle of the BC-made makgeolli if it's on. Budget around an hour and three-quarters; it's loud and a little chaotic by design, which is exactly why it works.
