About Us

Falconetti's East Side Bar & Grill is emerging as a fixture in the heart of Vancouver's historic Commercial Drive. If you're taking a stroll along the Drive you'll find it conveniently located on the east side of the drive just West of 2nd Avenue. It's hard to miss our picture window and our glass door entrance profiles a view of a typical New York style Cafe / Lounge that emulates a warm and engaging atmosphere to anyone who takes a second to look past the reflections of the Glass montages.

On beautiful days whether Spring, Summer or Autumn the Main window frame opens to the street allowing onlookers to have a full blown look into the coolness of what is becoming one of Vancouvers premier Live Music Venues.

Tucker Green Band
Saturday, September 4, 2010 - 9:00pm

Tucker Green is a dusty kind of familiar. His new record, Halfway to Daylight takes the old country sounds of lap steels and banjos and combines them with Americana guitar riffs to form an updated style of feel good rock. Shaped by a steady diet of Bruce Springsteen and Ryan Adams, Green’s timeless sound centers around the value of a well-written song. Halfway to Daylight was...

Dino DiNicolo
Saturday, September 4, 2010 - 9:00pm

Dino DiNicolo has been playing music all his life. He started on the electric organ and later left it behind.

You know when you stand at the back of a club watching the eighth band you've seen this week, and you're thinking to yourself, "This sucks. If I had a band, I would do it like this...". Well, it's that subtle arrogance that led to the creation of the Salteens; that if you are going to bother to get up on stage in front of people, you had better make it worth their while, or they...

I am currently writing new material with these creative...

Ben Rogers
Saturday, September 11, 2010 - 9:00pm

I can still remember the first time I heard Woody Guthrie. There was a power outage in the neighborhood and the only thing I could do was read Hemingway by candlelight and listen to my battery-powered radio. I turned it on and Tom Joad was playing. I put Hemingway down almost immediately. I had read Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath so I was familiar with the story but something...
