Safe Vancouver Clubs

I have a guest visiting and we are planning on going into
greater Vancouver to go to few clubs & bars for dancing &
stuff. What are the safest ones to go to, in good
neighbourhoods? We would much rather shell out a little for
a higher cover fee and be safe (also as in *not* hit-on too
much) Thanks. BTW I already checked out the Vancouver page
that is often posted here.

    clubs in general in van are fine... just be careful
    afterwards especially in gastown things can be a bit scary.
    mars nightclub is where alot of asian gangs go too, but
    most clubs are fine.

    OK which ones will be safest for my friend and I when we
    leave? I don't care if there is a better one down the street
    I want a safe one (yeah, yeah so we could crank the music at
    home & get a few drinks, but it just isn't the *same).

    well if you will be staying downtown you can go to luv
    affair, irish pub -the blarney stone (FUN), madisons, etc...
    downtown is downtown... i mean gangs dont run the streets or
    anything, its very safe, but of course as always be
    caustious.

    There are no real bad parts of town except near gastown.
    No need to worry. Just park your car in an attended lot
    nearby or take a taxi. Very safe town.

    Hi Everyone
    Thanks for your assurances. I'm personally not much into
    the club scene (more of a pub person) even in my own
    community and really appreciate the help. I *was* a little
    worried because I remember reading and watching on the news
    about some shootings in a Vancouver Nightclub (within a year
    ago).
