HISTORYConsistently held in the utmost regard by its loyal clientele and the city’s tastemakers, Fortune is built around the sound by Gman and Rizk, boasting over 20 years experience as promoters, DJs and respected fixtures in Vancouver’s local scene.
Fortune hosts the best shows in Vancouver, presenting cutting edge talent in all genres, backed by the best staff in the city. Fortune redefines the definition of a club, presenting a variety of events, from art openings and film premiers, to fashion shows and after-parties, to local and touring live events.
Now situated within a hot bed of new trendy restaurants and retail spots, Fortune was the first in the once desolate area of Vancouver’s Chinatown. What was once the infamous Ming’s Chinese Restaurant is now a revamped space focusing on innovative design, pieces from local and international artists such as the entrance to the club which was designed by Shepard Fairey, and eco-friendly venue features, all brought to life by the one and only Funktion One sound system.
In less than ten years, Fortune has established itself as a leader in the music scene in Vancouver. Welcoming a diverse spectrum of acts and performers, the organizers and staff of Fortune have created an entity that is equal parts nightclub, venue, project space, art gallery and community hub.

The world-renowned Funktion-One Sound system stands magnificently among the venue’s exposed beams and gilded brick walls. Fortune Sound Club has been designed around the sound system with minimal hard surfaces in order to maximize the technology. The choice of Funktion-One speaks to Fortune Sound Club’s very essence – to respect the sense of sound and how it is integral to the Fortune experience at an organic level. This exceptionally high calibre of sound quality creates a new paradigm for nightlife by providing an incredible platform to connect with the crowd.
