The Parlour

Pizza, Vibes & Pre-Show Energy in the Heart of Vancouver

The Parlour is a stylish, industrial-chic pizzeria located in Vancouver’s vibrant Yaletown district—just a short walk from many of the city’s top concert venues. With its exposed brick walls, reclaimed wood finishes, and buzzing atmosphere, this popular spot blends West Coast cool with crowd-pleasing comfort food. Known for its inventive takes on pizza and a solid selection of local craft beers, The Parlour is a go-to hangout for locals and visitors alike.

Why Concert-goers love it

Thanks to its central location, The Parlour makes an ideal pre-show stop. It’s close enough to downtown venues that you won’t be rushed getting to your seat, and the service here is quick—especially if you’re just grabbing a pizza and a drink before showtime. The vibe is lively but not too loud, so you can still chat with friends or plan your night. They also offer shareable plates and cocktails, which makes it easy for groups to fuel up without wasting time.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to split some pizzas and drinks before the show
• Solo travelers who want a bar seat and fast service before heading out
• Couples enjoying a romantic weekend with great food and ambiance
• Fans who want a fun, energetic space to get in the concert mood
• Budget-conscious music lovers—shareable portions and happy hour deals help keep things affordable

What People Say

Reviewers rave about the creative pizza combinations (the “Yaletown” and “Goldmember” are favorites) and the quality of the ingredients. Many mention the upbeat energy and welcoming staff, with one guest calling it a “perfect pre-party spot.” The cocktails also get high marks, especially the ones served in quirky mason jars. Regulars appreciate the rustic-modern decor and say it’s a fun place to kick off a night out.

Areas for Improvement

It can get pretty busy—especially on weekends—so there might be a wait if you don’t have a reservation. A few diners noted that the music inside can be a bit loud for those looking for a quiet meal. And while it’s more reasonably priced than some downtown spots, it's not exactly bargain-bin dining.

The Bottom Line

With cool vibes, creative pizzas, and a prime location near Vancouver’s music venues, The Parlour hits all the right notes for concert-goers looking to grab a bite before the show.
