Great little cocktail place in the industrial bit of Fremont! I went in on a quieter Thursday…read morenight so getting a spot wasn't an issue. A lot of their product is seasonal so right now there's a lot of Mexican themed creations. It sounds Like they'd like to do Japanese next. There's plenty of choices to choose from. I found their cocktails not to be too sweet which is just the way I like it. The waitress was so nice and let me sample a bunch of flavours on tap. The coconut pineapple rum tastes like a vacay. Gin and juice is their signature and a close second. I went with their tamarind peach which was vodka based. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the summer night breeze. They have some small bites available like warm bread and hummus, charcuterie etc. There's also pizza made to order from the specialty pizza place a few doors down. The only thing that irked me a bit were the pesky fruit flies when we sat inside. I will def be back and be bringing friends!

This place was great…read more I joined some friends for cocktails and was pleasantly surprised at how good this bar was. The drinks were really good. My favorite was one was actually offered on tap. They also allow you to purchase their drinks to go (the ones on tap.) They have a fridge with all their on tap offerings. They also have pre packaged mixed boxes to go. This place is far from where I live, so going often isn't an option, but I will definitely drop by and purchase the drinks to go. The service was really good as well. They forgot about one of my drinks and took if off my bill. Now that is service you don't see often anymore. My waitress was also very nice. I should note that it is a really small place, but once the weather gets better they have a patio that would allow for more people. Currently, the tables hold 4-6 people and you can only stay for 2 hours. They are pretty firm about it unlike other restaurants. It's because they don't really have space for more than 4 tables/groups at a time. It's tiny! Another cool aspect is that they let you order food from other restaurants and have it delivered so you can enjoy it while you drink. They do not have meal offerings so are willing to accommodate. Very cool. Give this place a go! Great drinks. Good service.

We had the best time at Odd Society, and I am still smiling two days later. Initially perplexed,…read moresince our Uber dropped us off one block away, we had no idea where we were in the dark of the Canadian night. Surrounded by warehouses, did the driver want us to experience a "call of the wild?" However, Odd Society beckoned one block from the corner, and two seats were available at the strange bar. Strange because our view was blocked by a kind of ersatz plastic and wood wagon wheel blocking our view of the servers and bar. It was reminiscent of Utah's Zion Curtain. Later, I was told it was part of Odd Society's Covid protection and helped the bartenders stack things up. Okay, fine, but tear the damn things down. They're obnoxious. Odd Society creates an array of liquors made from ingredients sourced locally by law. It's required by their license. I tried almost all of them, and most were fantastic. Abby and Colin, our servers, were charming, fun, and educational, answering my questions, which became increasingly inane as the alcohol took effect. The distillery also mixes fantastic cocktails, and mine, named Midori, was friggen unbelievable. I had two of them along with my liquor tasting. My Midori was made with a special concoction called Portuguese Sweet Milk, or something like that. It was amazing. I want one for breakfast. The fun kept coming, and I didn't want to leave. Alas, we had reservations at Lunch Lady up the street. We should have stayed at Odd Society. Lunch Lady was a disappointment. Try Odd Society out as both a distillery and cocktail bar. You won't be disappointed about either one.

I have a friend who loves to drink so when he was back in town, I bookmarked this place to bring…read morehim to as I saw many great reviews and pictures. In summary, the place was ok, but noticed after the fact that we were overcharged for the drinks. It's a small space - about 3 high tables, one lower one, each seating 4 to maybe at most 5 people, plus a bar. I reserved a table for the 2 of us at 3:30 pm on a Sunday (earliest reservation they had as they open at 3 pm) and we were seated at 3 pm. They checked our vaccine passports and then seated us. Not long after we were seated, the remaining tables were all taken just after opening for 30 minutes so I would recommend reserving if you prefer tables over bar seating. The waitress brought over a drinks menu and food menu. The menu showed cocktails at $13. We chose our drinks and ordered, then the waitress came by with a second menu that she said was for Sunday only. She apologized and said she normally doesn't work Sunday's so she didn't know this promotional menu was available. This menu had some cocktails on promotion that I would have not minded to try, but I had already received my cocktail. Oh well. I had the Violet and Claire, which looked great and tasted pretty good for the first half. However by the second half of the drink, it started to taste too sweet. It was not bad for a cocktail, overall. My friend said the Smoke Between the Sheets cocktail was alright as well. We got our bills quickly as we had a second place to visit afterwards. After paying, I snapped a picture of the bill at the time but did not notice until I got home that to my surprise, each cocktail was listed on the bill at $14.95. I recalled their physical menu saying $13, and verified this with their menu online. Unfortunately, I did not notice the discrepancy until I was home, otherwise I would have mentioned something. Note that our visit was at the end of November 2021, and at the time I'm writing this review (December 26, 2021), their online menu still has cocktail prices at $13. So, I am not sure if this was a one time mistake when we paid, or if they have just forgotten to update their menu? Either way, this was disappointing. Because of the entire experience I probably won't visit again, especially with all the other options Vancouver has for cocktails.

The Pistachio Pesto burrata sparked joy; the pastas were okay (nice al dente) but the flavours didn't particularly stand out for me; the tiramisu was pillowy and not too rich, but is enough to deliver. Service was satisfactory, and the overall experience was pleasant. There's plenty of free parking available with their own lot, although the spaces are of course shared with Nemesis' and the Gallery's guests in the Pavilion. We noted on our reservation that we were celebrating a birthday. Nothing complimentary was offered, which we weren't expecting or counting on - just noting it as part of the experience. Maybe I'll come back to try some of their other regular-menu items next time!

We went last night with my parents, and of course the building and environment does not disappoint…read more High ceiling, all natural lights, plants and trees inside, it's very spacious and airy. We ordered a bottle of red, the golden beets salad, meatballs, clams and mussels, burrata with tomato jam, a ragu pasta and one of the pizza with hot honey. Server is very chatty and attentive, and he's been super friendly throughout the night. Golden beets were a tad too hard for my liking, the mussels unfortunately were not fresh, it had a very fishy aftertaste. Meatballs are not bad, but I think Nonna's were better. The burrata with tomato jam really stood out amongst the appetizers. The ragu pasta is decent, didn't wow me, but I do like the interesting shape of the pasta, which makes it more chewy even though it was cooked softer than al dente. Pizza is nice, hot and ultra thin crust. We ordered the panna cotta which was a nice surprise. The chocolate shavings and pistachios add a really nice crunch to the smooth silky panna cotta. The server surprised us with his favorite dessert which is the olive oil cake. Honestly just by looking at the menu, is not something I would have ordered. But the taste was delightful, cake is light and moist, the orange flavor really came through. Many restaurants lack in the dessert department, and desserts are usually underwhelming, but this time I'm glad it ended with a bang. They're on the pricier side, as expected, so is not somewhere you can go regularly. But if there're special occasions or friend gatherings, I'd be willing to come back. With all the space they have, wish they have a dog friendly patio though.
