Dinner and Dancing in Vancouver
Start with dinner, stay for the music. At Monarca the table, the bar and the dance floor are in the same room, so the night never has to move.
Where dinner turns into dancing
Monarca is an upscale supper club at 181 Carrall Street in Gastown. Dinner starts at 4pm. As the night goes on the lights come down, the music goes up, and on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays the dining room becomes the dance floor. You can book one table and spend the whole evening in one place: no second venue, no line-up across town.
From the first plate to the last song
This is a real night in the room: dinner and cocktails at the table, then the DJ, the lights and the dance floor, all without leaving.

How to plan a dinner-and-dancing night
For the full arc, book dinner between 7 and 8:30pm on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday. You finish dinner as the music builds, and the room is at its liveliest from about 10pm. Earlier tables suit couples who want dinner with a soundtrack; later tables are for groups who came to celebrate.
Good to know before you go
- Table times. Dinner reservations have a set table time, which we confirm when you book. Please arrive on time: a table can be released when a party arrives very late.
- Staying into the night. Later in the evening some tables become bottle-service tables. If you want to keep a table through the DJ set, ask about a VIP table when you book.
- Dress code. Monarca is an upscale room. Dress for a night out.
- Groups. For groups, email your date, headcount and occasion to Reservations@monarcavancouver.ca so we can plan the right table and timing.
