George - Ultra Lounge and Wine Bar

My friends and I went there for drinks on last Saturday night. Although there was a little bit of line-up outside, I am quite impressed that they have heated lamp from ceiling to keep us warm.

The crowd was more dressier and a bit more mature than the usual crowd we see at clubs and pubs, which is very nice b/c I like dressing up and people that dress up!!

The place was SO PACKED and we had some trouble finding a place to seat in the first 1/2 hour, but we somehow managed & luckily that we found a spot that we could fit 6 of us there. According to my best female friend, the bartenders were cute!! I think the waitresses were not bad either (she didn't care about that)!

The drinks were mixed nicely and not like the usual Vancouver style (too much water, too little vodka). We sat there from 11pm to 2am. I don't think any of us can remember the # of drinks we had. We all lost count. Surprisingly enough, the damage was not too bad. It only costed us $40~$50 per person.

Anyhow, we didn't have the time nor have the ability to figure that out at that time. We paid the bill with a big tip and left to a chinese restaurant nearby to get sober up.

Long story in short, this is a GREAT PLACE for drinks for any occasion. The only reason that it didn't deserve a 5-fork rating is because it wouldn't have been so good if we were not lucky enough to find a seat.

I will definitely go back again!!!
