    Steam Heat (left) and Modern Hound (right)
    Kay F.

    We came here on NYE and although it is recommended that you make reservations, we managed to snag a seat as we did come a little bit earlier. We got the Steam Heat and Modern Hound and both hit the spot perfectly. I particularly liked the candied ginger that was included with the Steam Heat and added that extra flavour. I can't wait to come back here to try more of their cocktail offerings.

    With the explosion all these craft beer places around town, now there are craft liquor places popping up too. Parking is available on Powell, as well as a small lot next to the building. The inside is very clean and hipsterish. Definitely felt good. The tasting room has a small cluster of couches and a couple of tables. There are a set of double doors where can look down a long row of vats where all this beautiful liquor is created. The bartender was very friendly, and suggested I try a sampler ($7) as I had no idea what was good. Sold. All ingredients are sourced locally. Another feel-good attribute. East Van vodka - interesting banana aftertaste. Gin - nice and light, with plenty of flavour. It is hard to find a good gin, but this would be one of them. Creme de cassis - some people may not like this, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice and crimson, and a bit on the syrupy side. This one is the dessert of the 3 samplers, for obvious reasons. All 3 liquors were unique for sure. The vodka and gin were surprisingly smooth. I will definitely be back. Recommended.

    The Wild Claire (which changes often)

    This is my absolute favourite bar in Vancouver. The drinks are always unique and delicious, the staff are hilarious and friendly, and the location is funky. I also have a selection of their bottles on hand at home as well. The oaken gin (an aged Gin) makes a delicious G&T and I love their creme de cassis. The Wild Claire is often my favourite drink as it changes often and is always a little different. Definitely check out this gem of a bar!

    Flight of spirits!

    ***4.5 stars*** Order the tasting flight and try all their spirits before chosing a cocktail. That is the key to getting the best bang for you buck. Great value and awesome decor. It only needs a few more restaurants and bars to move in the neighbourhood to make it a no-miss destination. Loved the Oakes gin which is a special batch at the mo'. But also interesting barley-based vodka, delicious syrupy cassis and sweet vermouth. Open late Fridays and Saturdays - perfect place to assuage your post-week work stress.

    Artistic interior.

    Our visit to Odd Society Spirits was a trip! Firstly, the artistic decor of this large open space is awe inspiring. Owner Miriam Karp introduced herself, she's so warm and down to earth. We chatted about the place and she answered all my uber-enthusiastic questions. The owl themed mural behind the bar is a wonderful piece inspired by artist Shwa Keirstead and can be seen repeated in the branding. East Van Vodka is their first product available to the public at just under $30 dollars a bottle. Taste the deliciously rich, berry cassis, which can be added to distilled beverages or enjoyed over ice cream and other sweets. Imagine the culinary potential! I'm looking forward to owning a bottle of my own when they become available. They're just working on the labeling process at this point. If possible, take a tour with distiller Josh who walked us through and patiently explained the different functions of the beautiful equipment in the distillery room, which to myself just looks like large steampunk inspired art. Especially the Vodka distiller. We were lucky enough to arrive during the brewing process, so imagine the smell. It's a bit different from a brewery or winery. You must visit!

    Just great! The folks here are very nice and friendly. They took the time to explain their drinks, their distillery and their background. No attitude, no snobbery. Didn't see any bearded plaid wearing lumberjacksters. Mia makes great drinks and it was fun watching her work. Drinks are really good and very well priced. I'll be back because of these two points.

    A surprising delight. This little place serves an impressive assortment of patiently made cocktails. I had as much fun watching the drinks get made as I did drinking them. I was incredibly impressed with the bartender's skill and the fact that she never once needed to reference a checklist for some of the complicated drinks that had 6 or more ingredients. Everything was running smoothly and a few of my party got to see how the distillery made their vodkas and gins in the back room. The entire seating area was classy and clean and had a very trendy decor. The back where the spirits are made was kept immaculate. $9 drinks but worth every penny for the experience. Great place for a casual date over drinks. Would highly recommend.

    This local distillery has a nice selection of cocktails using the companies own products. I had 'the drive', which was a nice mix of their spirits. The cost of most cocktails are around $10, which is very reasonable compared to other cocktail spots. The inside looks a bit warehouse-like but is complemented with nice loungey retro chairs and tables as well as a decent size bar. There are very few edibles here, but they do offer a Charceuterie board or a couple of small snack options. I recommend this place if you are up for a quick cocktail. They also offer happy hour specials, but I have yet to try those out. Should you really enjoy their products -vodka, gin, vermouth - you can buy bottles in house. Their price is a bit cheaper than bc liquor stores.

    Incredible and creative hand crafted cocktails, a must see! Take a break from the surrounding breweries and delight your senses with this east van distillery for cocktails that are sure to please everyone in your party. I can't wait to go back!

    Went in for the distillery tour today and had a great time. Got to sample the barley vodka (East Van Vodka) along with the cassis and learn a bit about the distillery process. Drop on by and check it out and if you are lucky they may be brewing and distilling while you are there.

    Small, cozy space with a great ambiance. Happy hour runs from 5-7pm, which is a nice draw. We…read morestarted with the baguette bites ($3-$5 each during happy hour), and they were delicious. That said, considering the food is mostly pre-prepared and it wasn't busy, the wait was surprisingly long. We also shared two other dishes, which were good, but the service was extremely slow--so much so that we eventually gave up on trying to have a full meal there and left still hungry. We ended up going to another restaurant nearby. I'd come back for a glass of wine and the baguette bites, but not for a full dinner. It's just too slow. Given the simplicity of the dishes, the timing didn't quite make sense--especially since the bar service was fine and the server was very friendly. I even saw the cook coming out to chat with tables several times, which was a bit confusing considering how slowly the food was coming out.

    We came on a Saturday at around 5pm. The restaurant was quite empty but by around 7pm the place was…read morefull. Our favourite bite of the night was for sure the Iberico Sandwich ($18). It had gruyere cheese, honey and Dijon mustard. It was super addicting. The chorizo was oily and savoury. Might come in just to share this The steak tartare ($17) was not bad. Bread was nice and crunchy. Would have been nice if it had a bit more seasoning on it Gambas ($18) the prawns were huge and perfectly cooked. Had a good snap to it. Wish it had a bit more garlic flavour Espresso martini was okay. Nothing memorable. Wouldn't order it again. Service was great. Super friendly and nice. They came to check on us multiple times. Food came out fast. Overall would come back for some quick snacks and try more of their cocktails

    Was recommended to try this izakaya bar from a friend and it was quite an experience!…read more The vibe inside felt like retro Japan, with various anime and Japanese inspired artwork. They also had a TV playing episodes of Naruto which was a throwback to my childhood, but in a very classy way.  The service overall was also fantastic. They were all very friendly, and were able to answer our questions related to the menu, providing recommendations based on what we liked for both drinks and food, but honestly, given the quality of everything we ordered, any item on their menu would hit the spot.  We ordered the Tonka, Kuri, Mango and Ume. Of the four we thought the Kuri and Ume were the most delicious, with the Kuri tasting the most unique. For food, we ordered the BGB King Salmon, Prawn Toast, Red Crab, Hamachi Tartare and the Ice Cream Sando. Each item was meticulously prepared. Our favourite was the Red Crab, as the blend of crab, tamago salad, truffle, on a toasted piece of milk bread, was fantastic, our favourite bite of the night. The hamachi tartare was my second favourite, as each delicious bite was complimented by the fried noodles on the side. We had a fantastic experience overall. Great service, food, and vibes inside. Seating did feel a bit cramped however nothing out of the ordinary for an izakaya. Would 100% return to try the other cocktails on their menu and eat another bite of the Red Crab. Side note, the audio in the washroom was a pleasant surprise!

    5/5 service, vibes, novelty. food was alright…read more Nomo nomo is a super fun spot for when you're feeling shareables and having drinks! Lively atmosphere and cute colourful decor no matter which angle you look. Service is wonderful, drinks are unique, and the bartenders put lots of care in their prep. Unfortunately, the food was pretty average imo maybe we didn't get the right items. *Hamachi tartare was cool! 4/5 *Prawn toast tasted like a costco hotdog to me T-T maybe that was the goal... I was not a fan but my friend REALLY liked it *Wagyu sliders, fun concept but didn't seem so different from a regular burg As a non-drinker I'm not compelled to return, but worth a try!

    We came here during their Monday happy hour from 11AM-5PM and gorged ourselves in seafood…read more The food: Oysters of the Day - these were fresh and delicious. They were served with fresh grated horseradish which I rarely see. There were also a few sauces to try with the oysters if you want to get a little more variety We ordered Garlic Prawns in a tomato sauce, Steamed Clams in a wine sauce, and a ton of garlic bread to dip. I could have just eaten that and been happy. Fried Oysters are massive and come fully loaded with sauce and garnish Po-boys are almost like a half Po-Boy on that same garlic bread 1 lb bucket of crab - snow crab served with butter - we even dipped this in the tomato and wine sauces This was just a fun experience using our hands and making our way through the pile of seafood delivered to us. It was quite hot the day we went, so we had to survive the outdoors and partial sun. But overall, really good time for everyone in my family. They gave us a few wet wipes, but there was no way they would get the job done. I needed a sink to handle what my hands had become by the end of the meal. My family scores: Brendan - 4.4 Charlotte - 4.5 Shanying - 5.0 Winston - 4.5

It wasn't super busy so everything came out within 10 minutes so service is really fast. We were seated outside for a party of 7! Everything was so fresh and delicious. Oysters were extremely tasty and I loved all the sauces that were offered. I loved the ponzu sauce the most! The crab legs were so sweet that I almost wanted to order another lb but the lobster rolls and chowder were the perfect amount for everyone.
