    Fabulous place. Cocktails were amazing and the Charcuterie Board delicious. The service was exceptional and a big shout out to the wonderful bar manager Amanda. We’re all hoping that everyone will find another ‘Diamond’ soon!

    We had a really lovely waitress that gave us the perfect amount of space, but when our first round of drinks were getting low she noticed and made herself available. There were also other staff members that would top up water which was really nice - great service.

    The Diamond has been recommanded by a French friend when she heard that we were traveling to Vancouver. She went at this bar 5 years ago and she told me : go there, cocktails are so good ! So we went with my boyfriend. The district reminds us France and it was very cute, the food and especially the Fromage and Charcuterie Planche was soooo good ! The cocktails were absolutely divine and the place so chill. Thank you to the staff who were cool too !

    I went to the Diamond for a couple of cocktails in the early evening on a Saturday (7pm) and found the bar lightly populated and the noise level to be decent. I was told it gets much busier as the night goes on but it was quite pleasant while I was there. I got a seat at the bar and ordered my first drink off of the provided online menu. It was very good but had some spicy elements that were a bit overpowering for me. I asked the bartender for an off-menu concoction that he whipped up on the fly with my general description of what I wanted (a little herbal, a little sweet, cool the palette a bit from the firewater in my last drink). He came back with a tasty cocktail that met all my expectations. Had great conversations with all of the bar staff about different specs for drinks, things to do in Vancouver etc. Overall a very enjoyable establishment I will bring friends to if I ever find myself back in Vancouver. Thank you!

    This place is a hidden gem! Nick was an amazing, gracious host and made our experience 10x better. He offered up a dinner suggestion that was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The drink menu is amazing and we had trouble choosing from all the wonderfully creative, indulgent options. I had a pistachio gimlet and was blown away. It was wonderfully complex, sophisticated, down-right delicious and not like anything I’ve ever had before. The outside of the bar is a little daunting and, it being our first time in Vancouver, we were hesitant but so happy we went in and checked it out. The interior is reminiscent of an old French bar with quiet sophistication, charm and such a comfortable vibe. Loved the architecture, the wonderful breeze with the open windows and the music was perfectly eclectic and flowing. Absolutely recommend to get a flavor of Vancouver and a warm embrace of welcoming, fun energy.

    I wish I would have gotten our waiter's name (he had some pink in his hair brown eyes) because he was fantastic - the place was packed, and he always seemed to know when to check in on us. Water was constantly being topped up, and he knew the menu well based on the few drinks we looked over. Absolutely will be going back.

    We were a group of 4 on a busy Friday night. It's a lively, wide open room with brick walls - so lots of character and can get loud. Personally I think it would benefit from some acoustic sound treatment on the ceiling. The cocktails are tasty but pricey... was $26 for their signature old fashioned. Good service and a really great charcuterie board... we ordered two of them and between the 4 of us we quickly ran out of bread. A second basket of bread cost $2.50, but since we ordered two boards, shouldn't we get two baskets? A small wrinkle but caught my eye on the check.

    Terrible service. After 10 minutes of sitting at our table, I had to go up to the bartender to ask if anyone would be serving us. 0/10 hipster nonsense. Also, I don't like that you have to pay just to book a reservation.... What a rip off.

    Diamond still has great ambiance. Staff was also great in helping us make choices from the drink menu. I forgot how the "background" music gets loud, but it's lively and still makes for a great date or small group spot before going say out dancing or to other plans.

    Everything was great, although we had a few mishaps. Our server forgot some food and drinks we ordered. The food selection was very limited and the portion size was small for a $30 platter. $7 for 5 pieces of truffle salami was a bit steep. The cocktails were phenomenal best I’ve had in Vancouver so far.

    The drinks at the Diamond are always amazing. This was our 4th time in in 3 years. Service is amazing as well, I only listed 4 stars for service because there was some confusion on our receipts when we went to pay and the waitstaff had to redo the allocations twice. Otherwise, always friendly and have great suggestions.

    The venue is great. The constant reminder that we were on a time clock to move out was annoying and the lack of ability to move to the bar once we had paid the dinner bill was short sited. We would have loved to spend more time and money having cocktails after dinner. Overall an average experience.

    We sat at a table for two by the window which was very drafty. The charcuterie board and burrata and bread we had was delicious. The cocktail menu is extensive and our cocktails did not disappoint. It was very, very loud in the restaurant and we had to call for a server for every aspect of our evening, even to be seated. ☹️

    The drinks were every tasty but overpriced by $2 for what they were. The environment was more casual than I expected. The severs were lovely, however after offering to take a final drink order at the end of our 2 hour reservation, we felt there was a low key pressure to finish and leave, when we wouldn't have ordered that final round if it hadn't been offered. Overall I enjoyed it but wouldn't hurry back.

    We ordered 2 cocktails and a cheese tray. Cheese tray came after 20 min. No drinks. Cheese tray was finished before we received our cocktails- they arrived 43 min after we ordered them. 2nd cocktails came quicker about 15 min. They did not charge us for 1st cocktails. Server said our order got blown away by a fan??
