Vancouver Gets Glitzy Before Olympics

Just off the mass nightclub chaos of Granville, the owners of some of Vancouver's hippest locals like Republic and Bar None debut a VIP dance lounge called Pop Opera. It's currently the hottest club in town, a moody neon-lit experience of disco balls, white leather and endless pop remixes by Jay-Z and Rihanna. The main lounge is divided into three sections of circular settees with sunken seating on white-vinyl sofas and a separate boutique bar. Room 2, located off the main lounge, is surrounded in oversize subway tile with illuminated portholes offering a whole new perspective on hot Vancouver nightlife.
