After Dark
A sandwich board and some stairs in Gastown lead to a brick-arched basement with two live bands a night until 2am.
Alexander St at Carrall, Gastown
More infoThere's a sandwich board on Alexander Street, some stairs going down, and most of Gastown walks right past both, which is their loss. Guilt & Co is a low, brick-arched basement lit like a rogue cantina, where two live acts work through soul, funk, and blues nightly. Go late, share the tuna tostadas, tip the band, and stay until 2am on weekends.
Look for the sandwich board and the stairs beside the Alexander Street building, if you don't know, you'll walk right past. Downstairs, grab a candlelit table close to the stage where two live acts a night run soul, swing, funk and blues, and split inventive cocktails and the tuna tostadas. Weekends go to 2am, so 'one more set' keeps winning; sit close, tip the band, and give the brick-arched room a good two-plus hours to do the romancing.
