Thanks to its central location in downtown Vancouver, Showcase is just minutes from popular live music venues, making it a convenient choice for pre-show dining.

What People Say

Guests often highlight the friendly service and the fresh, locally-sourced dishes, especially the seafood options and shareable small plates. The stylish decor and comfortable seating get consistent praise, and many note that it’s a great place to relax without feeling rushed. Happy hour specials and the well-crafted cocktail menu are also popular among diners heading to evening events.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the menu, while well-executed, can be on the smaller side in terms of variety. During peak times, it may get a little busy, so making a reservation is a good idea—especially on concert nights. And while the vibe is relaxed and casual, it’s more refined than rowdy, which might not suit those looking for a high-energy pre-party scene.

The Bottom Line

Showcase Restaurant & Bar is a convenient, stylish, and satisfying stop for concert-goers looking to enjoy quality Northwest fare in the heart of Vancouver before the music starts.
