I've been there quite a few time over the last year and have no complaints. It's a good place to bring a date or have a gathering. I've only ever eaten their pizza and appies. Prices are fair, quality is above average, service is good in my books. If you're looking for fine dining then this isn't the place, if you're looking to have good time with good eats in a relaxed atmosphere I would recommend this place. My gf LOVES the martini's they have there.

I knew nothing about this place prior to booking a reservation with opentable; I hardly ever get out to Kits, and dinehere won't bring up reviews if you search on "the new bohemian" so we went based on the menu (and drinks list) alone.

First the bad - it was a touch loud, so if you're going to go for dinner expect to have to lean forward and talk loudly. Or enjoy the conversations at the tables next to you (it's cozy). Also our table was wobbly.

Everything else was fantastic - service was great, the food came out promptly and was well executed, and the room had a great energy. And everything was a solid value. I will 100% be back... can't wait.

It's ok but there's a lot better places to eat in vancouver. Arrived for dinner around 7 and there were 3 other tables in the place. Room is nice, I thought it cute that they recycled the old fiction sign for the interior. It got a lot busier towards the end of our meal. Service was acceptable, server kind of knew her stuff which was nice. Although when it started to get busy it took a long time to pay her. I had the lamb ragout which was alright though i found myself searching for the lamb among garlic chunks. The menu was a bit misleading as I expected vegetables as well as quinoa but the vegetables were IN the quinoa. Creme brule was good, smooth, but why offer it if you're not going to do it right (I mean torch it to order, this is my big gripe with a lot of vancouver restaurants). Prices are reasonable for what you get. The spicy prawn and crab dip is very good.

I find myself confused as it's a lounge-type setting that offers burgers and sandwiches. If I were them I'd get rid of those and just offer more appies on the menu instead. It seems the way their customers are taking them anyway as they don't seem to be getting a big dinner crowd.

I haven't eaten here that many times, but from my experience the food has been fine. Not amazing, but of better quality than the numerous bars around the area. It certainly surpasses food at Gargoyles, the Shack, Elwoods, etc. However, the New Bohemian should have better food than these places, as it charges higher prices and seems to want to cater to a different clientele (i.e. lounge not bar). So basically, the food is good and fair value for what you pay but it is not the best thing about the Bohemian. You won't be disappointed, but you're probably better off going for late night cocktails and a snack rather than dinner.

There is, however, one exception to this. The mussels and yam fries combo. It's available on either Tuesday or Wednesday night (I don't remember which), and serve up a 1/2 lb of yam fries (better than the average) and a 1/2 lb of mussels. I would advise the coconut curry mussels which are absolutely delicious. I drank up all the broth at the end because they were so good. And the best part is - the combo is only $7! That to me is a very good price for what you get.

The ambiance is fantastic, it's a beautiful space. The patio outside is lovely, and was my choice during my summer when I was there with just one or two friends. With a bigger group (or, you know, in the winter), grab their comfy leather sofas inside and post up for a fun night. The movie screens are really cool; overall, a feast for the eyes.

The drinks are well the Bohemian really shines. Yes, some of them cost more than your average Broadway street pint/cocktail. Their beer selection is unparalleled in the area and their cocktails, well, can only be described as exceptional. Try the champagne cocktails - so good! Word of warning - they get quite a bit of alcohol into deceptively tasty cocktails. If you are there at 1:30am, and can no longer taste the bourbon in your lemonade... well, maybe that's just me.

As a restaurant, I give this place 3/5.
As a bar/lounge, I give this place 5/5.

theres lots of competition out there with lounges so these places really need to stand out and do something to draw customers on a consistent basis. i would say that the new bohemian falls in the middle and just met my expectations in terms of an average dining experience.
i was not pleased with the food. my apricot glazed salmon tasted mediocre at best along with everything else that came with it. the taste was just bland in nature and i felt the food was cooked in a hurry. my gfs beef tortellini was too salty, the chefs must have doubled the sodium content because i have never tasted pasta like that before.
our waitress was friendly and helpful when it came to ordering our dishes. however, she wasnt on top of things and didnt come around to see if we wanted another round of drinks until we pointed it out to her nor did she refill our glasses of water more than once. not a huge issue but it still came to my attention.
prices here are fair. i do not recall anything on the menu being more than $30 (but i could be wrong) however the trade off is sub-par tasting food which is not something i am willing to take.
i love the ambiance in this place. dimly lit, attractive bar appearance and a spacious dining area along with a casual atmosphere. i could see how this place would be great to go to after dinner to drink and relax with friends.
overall, i cant say anything more about this place. i would return if i was in the area for drinks but if i was hungry, i wouldnt come here because the variety and selection of restaurants in this area is enormous. with that being said, its hard to overlook the poor food quality here when theres potentially something much better "next door".

I had dinner here with the girls and took advantage of their DOV menu for only $28 (4 courses). It really was a good menu, especially for the amount of food you get.
For the 2 starters, I had the split pea soup and the bacon wrapped scallops. Both fantastic. My main was the organic pork chop which was also really good. But the most excellent part of dinner was the strawberry napoleon for dessert - I could have easily enjoyed that for all 4 courses and be happy!

The service was good - they weren't pushy in terms of trying to push alcohol sales or trying to rush your meal to turn tables faster. The ambiance was hip and cool. Unfortunate for us, the DJ was setting up just as we were finishing up.
Warning, if you're looking for a quiet date place, this is not so suitable. It's great for a night out with a loud crowd.

Hopefully, they will return for next year's DOV. If they do, I will definitely be back, if not before which is very likely!

What can I say? A disaster, I am shocked it has received even moderate reviews. The pizzas were a soggy mess. Heart of palm bland and mushy. The veggies were turning. Lamb shank tough and over salted. The chop salad was decent but would I return for just that not likely. They were out of three bottles I ordered from the winelist. I ordered, the waitress leaves, returns minutes later to tell me the bottle was sold. Three times through this same excruiting process. So my only choices left were a 30.00 bottle or 80.00 bottle? 20 minutes later we decided to stick with water, we wanted to move on as quickly as possible to Pear Restaurant. This is not the place for dinner, I am hesitant to even recommend it for a cocktail.

I came here after school last week and was impressed.
I think the room is gorgeous. I am from Montreal and even there this would be one of the nicest rooms in the city.
I was tired and not all that hungry so I had a quick beer and the Walnut Goats cheese to start. My server was very friendly ( great smile ) and both food and drink arrived surprisingly quick for a busy room.
Loved the Cheese and followed it with the Steak Tacos. I've never tried tacos before so I'm not sure if all tacos are like this..but I loved them.
Loved the lighting and the projector playing black and white movies.
I want to come back for a full blown dinner experience.

I had heard great things from friends who had been to the New Bohemian, so I tried it out last week.

Service was really friendly and fun, with a great casual edge.

Everyone at the table loved their meals - we had a couple of dishes of mussels to start, as well as the heart of palm salad, and then had the lamb, stuffed chicken, curry bowl and rigatoni with some of the tastiest bolognaise sauce I have ever had!!

Had a blast -- good food and a very appealing and inviting atmosphere. Will be back soon for sure!

Should have known by how empty it was.
Service was ok, the poor server told us she gives away free drinks all the time to make up for getting hassled about the food. I just don't get it, if the food is 'clean, organic' 'oceanwise' how could it taste so bad. You could have great food raw and it will still be great. I think there might not be truth to the claims of food sources.Decor is like walking into a cheaply designed version of cactus club
