Juice - Vancouver

Fantastic food, patio service. Highly recommend. The best wine bars in the city.

Okay, I am officially a huge fan of Juice Bar. After visiting Vancouver recently, my friends and I made several stops here to enjoy the vibes, interesting wine selections, and the great patio.Juice Bar is open in the evening only, since the space is shared with a café during the daytime. The team is very welcoming even when you arrive early, which is rare for most restaurants. Once you receive your table number for at the counter ordering, go inside to chat with the servers.The incredible selection of local and international natural wines blew me away. I was incredibly grateful to try a B.C. based Lambrusco, which was perfect for the cooler summer temperatures on the shaded patio. The food options are limited, which I prefer, so I would recommend ordering a few of these.The restrooms are easy to find and are very clean, and transportation to and from the bar is easy. Cycling routes are right off the patio, Ubering is simple, and walking is easy. On my second venture to Juice Bar, we had some pretty sad interactions with one of the female presenting staff. She raised her voice at us multiple times when she wanted us to listen to their directions, and they also treated a few groups poorly. At one point, they came outside and were quite rude to a parking enforcement officer when it seemed to be the Juice Bar person's fault. At the end of my experience, this person once again raised their voice with our group, demanding we leave the tight indoor space if we were finished but we were hoping to ask a few more questions to the team. Instead, we left disappointed. My experience here was great, but this staff member should probably take advantage of some self care or personal skills workshops. Or, just chill and have fun! Hopefully, it was just a bad day for them when we visited. I would typically take more stars off for this interaction, but the rest of the experiences were excellent.We will be sad to see this place leave at the end of September, but I look forward to returning when the space grows up into what comes next!

The space is really cute, I enjoyed the aesthetic of the place along with the wine. I think the whole idea behind no drink menu is fun, but unfortunately due to the food I don’t know if I could return. Maybe it was just an off day, but the food was really terrible :

More of this, Vancouver!! ..great natural wine, the ability to buy a bottle and outdoor seating that's peaceful and not adjacent to traffic.

I strongly believe that for places of this caliber (read: prices) exceptional product needs to be matched by exceptional hospitality. The concept that I have to create a line from a specific point and on without having a menu to look at and getting angry looks and verbiage because I approached too close to the fridge to look at the wines makes it a no for me. I decide to go elsewhere to spend my money, sorry.We were seated but I can 't stand such rude customer service so we stood up and left.
