Experience Glowbal for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Thanks to the vibrant, open space, guests can enjoy an incredible experience from any table, whether they prefer to people-watch, thrive in the thick of the action, or feel like they have the place to themselves. Large parties have their pick of the widest selection of private dining rooms in Vancouver, each space offering a distinct personality (think gold wallpaper VS. quilted leather cladding) and ranging from 12 to 60 seats. Those looking to dine under the stars can snag their very own human-sized birdcage booth on the 150-seat patio, an expansive space framed by the dramatic wood-and-glass awning, a contemporary piece considered to be Vancouver’s new architectural landmark, and bordered by a row of fireplaces for that added touch of warmth.
