Answers about Empress Bar

LAST VERIFIED OCT 10, 2026

Is Empress Bar a good spot for cheap drinks?

[ VERIFIED · OCT 2026 ]

It is one of the cheapest pints in the city and the regulars keep the room friendly. Go for an unpretentious early session rather than a late scene.

Does Empress Bar have pool tables?

[ VERIFIED · OCT 2026 ]

Pool tables are part of the draw here along with cool music on the jukebox. It reads as a classic dive bar where the games matter as much as the drinks.

Is the area around the bar safe at night?

[ VERIFIED · OCT 2026 ]

The bar sits on East Hastings where the streets get rough after dark. Head over earlier in the day and keep your wits about you if you stay late.
