Good service and atmosphere but food mediocre. Meatballs had no flavour, salmon was farm not wild. Shrimp were fishy. Noticed prices were a little under par for Vancouver downtown but this might be why.

I’ve been to Open Outcry twice now and both times were such a great experience. The latte was excellent, the wine was lovely, and the charcuterie board was really well done. Service has been friendly and attentive each visit. The space itself really stands out. It’s in the restored Vancouver Stock Exchange building that's now a Class A heritage building, which gives it such a cool, unique feel. You can sense the history when you’re there. It’s so uniquely designed to replicate the old trading pit, reasonably priced, and just a really enjoyable place to spend time. I’m definitely looking forward to going back more often.

We went on Valentine’s but the place was very quiet with very few people. We had cocktails which were nice but the food menu was pretty small with very few vegan options.

This was place was very disappointing. From the description on the website, it sounded really interesting being that it was once the trading floor for the Vancouver Stock Exchange. There are tables piled up by the front entrance, not a good look or impression. Then as you go downstairs all that could be heard were lots of really loud fans. There were industrial fans all over the place that were extremely loud. The lights were dazzling bright. The waiter wanted our order almost immediately after sitting at the table, then after 10 minutes came back and told us the kitchen was closing so we needed to order (it was 7:30pm). The food was okay, nothing special. This place could be so much more. With some nice light jazz music playing, dim lights to give it more of a speakeasy style, it would be inviting. It felt like a cafeteria and we didn't feel welcome.

Service was friendly, very affordable prices. A lot of choice from the happy hour menu, however, the happy hour menu items are a little too out of the ordinary, for example, didn't expect there would be toasts, and salads. Would love to see more opens like wings, dips. dumplings instead. Overall, still a great place and will return for sure

Had a short time to visit and grab a bite before having to go elsewhere. Venue is small but very cool. Ended up with the happy hour menu (we shared the spring rolls, potato wedges, smoked salmon and meatballs) - all were delicious! Service was great and it wasn’t busy (surprisingly given it was happy hour)

Open Outcry is an intimate restaurant located in a great space: the former bidding floor of the historic 1928 Vancouver Stock Exchange. Many of the historic decorative features of this room have been sympathetically recreated, including an old blackboard listing stock prices of the era. Staff are very attentive and the liquor and food menus are great. The food was deliciously prepared. The prices for the drinks and food are moderate. I liked the fact that the background noise level in Open Outcry is low to moderate so it was perfect for carrying on engaging conversations with several people at the table. I will definitely be going back to Open Outcry.

El local oscuro y lúgubre. El servicio bueno, aunque sólo estábamos nosotros, en julio a las 19.30, un poco extraño. La comida sin más
