I thought there are no serious clubs in Vancouver. Not like I'd be looking for one there though. The "nightlife" there was basically all about loud teenagers from what I saw.
And if it comes to Jon's comment I was really surprised how tidy Vancouver actually was. Apart from bums on the streets
But that might be because I used to live in Yaletown/Downtown at the beginning, and then Coal harbour. But most neighborhoods I passed through were really neat. Minus E. Hastings street, but coming from Poland it really wasn't bad to me. Some places in Burnaby weren't that neat, but still not bad.
