I was genuinely confused as to whether the price of the Japanese whisky flight was $38 or $75. Had I believed the price to be $38 only to later discover it was $75, I would consider that representation deceptive. At no point was it made clear that Versante members are charged $38 while non-members are charged $75--an omission that a reasonable consumer would not be expected to infer.

The last time I was there I was being actively ignored by multiple barkeepers acting super busy, walking up and down and polishing glasses or similar fillers on a non-busy night... Until I got up and walked out slowly to Provisions, a bar right across the street, to get a drink. With this attitude toward service, I'm sure none of them realized what kind of business walked out the door in that moment, given I live within walking distance, happen to like a good whiskey, and believe in tipping handsomely for good service. But I get it...surely they saw me and likely filter for a different type of clientele. It's just that even over the years I've been passing by it hasn't worked. But each to their own; never been back.

Huge, huge, huge fan of the Shebeen! I've been living in Vancouver for 4+ years now and have been…read morefrequenting the downtown nightlife scene for longer, and have never heard or been to the Shebeen up until a few weekends ago. One of my best friends was having her birthday party here and I was utterly confused that I'd never heard of this place, so much so, that I questioned her if it was the right spot..... I now admit, that I was in the wrong. The Shebeen is located through a little alley way behind the Irish Heather. You have to go through the actual restaurant to find it, so no wonder it's hard to find! It gave me total speakeasy feels. Our large group took over their little patio area pretty early on around 5:30pm and set up camp there until 10:30ish. It was fairly slow at the beginning, but as the night went on, the inside of the Shebeen filled up and this spot was bumpin'. They specialize in whiskys (hence their name), so I was ordering old fashioneds left and right. I did also have a gin and tonic or two at the beginning of the evening. The old fashioneds were some of my favourite I've had in Vancouver. You can also order food through the Irish Heather menu. After a few drinks, I needed to put some food in my body so I ordered the curry fries. Wow, wow, wow. I was in saucy fry heaven. I need more of this in my life. Honestly, I'd come back just for this. Our servers (we had two checking in on us throughout the evening), were ROCKSTARS! Before I even had finished my drink, they were already checking in and asking if we wanted another... this resulted me in never having an empty drink, which I definitely felt the next day. Now that this spot is on my radar, I'll be back more often. Thanks for a great evening and here's to many more, Shebeen!

Food/Beverage: I ordered the Rosemary Sage Latte which was not too sweet and perfectly balanced between coffee and milk with a beautiful rosemary aroma.

Ambiance: The space is divided into multiple rooms, which were mostly full, I was able to grab a seat in the conference room which had a nice view of the harbor. There is free 2 hour parking. Great place to also take coffee to go and go for a stroll along the waterfront.

I came here with a group of coworkers after dinner and we ended up shutting the place down being there right til close. The bartender was super kind and quick to get our orders. They do specialize in whiskey at The Shed, but I still opted for wine. They obviously carry their other other McMenamins brews and wines so there's a few different options if you're not a whiskey drinker. The vibe here is my absolute favorite and I love that it feels like a cozy cabin in the woods. It's definitely an easy spot to get cozy at and spend a little more time than you intended. Definitely not a spot to miss when you're staying at this location.

They have a beautiful facility and the tasting room was filled with souvenirs from shirts, jackets, flasks, glasses and all of them looked top-notch. Loved to buy a baseball cap, but my head is 61cm and I must have the velcro closure as the plastic snap hats are just too small & cheap for me. They have a counter bar area strategicly set with no chairs where it's comfortable for four 1/4 to 1/2 oz taste, but you don't get too comfortable. The hostess was pleasant, inviting and we honestly enjoyed reviewing the menu of +10 different whiskeys where we need to pick out 4 of them for the standard flight. They had a cross section of proofs between bourbons and ryes with a premixed old fashioned that was made by aging in maple syrup barrels. My wife went for ryes and i did the bourbons. I started with the 80 proof then navigated toward the highlight of the 115-proof. I was pleasantly impressed how drinkable without the burn going down was the 115-proof as it benefits from a sweeter, corn-forward base + cooler aging that results in better integration and less aggressive burn -- it "drinks easier" than the numbers would suggest. Of course, try what you can and it's great when you can share tastes between 2 people all the choices. For me, I found the cast strength aged 6 years 115 proof to be the best.
