Craft cocktails$$
PourhouseA century-old heritage room built around a 38-foot handcrafted bar, all dark wood, pressed-tin ceilings and the clink of a shaker working through a Prohibition-era playlist. It feels like the room came first and the cocktail revival just moved in. Weekend nights get loud with a crowd that came for the Gold Rush Daiquiri and stayed for the fried chicken.Book ahead
Restaurant bar$$$$
L'AbattoirBuilt into the stone foundation of Vancouver's first jail, with vaulted brick ceilings and candlelight that makes the French-West Coast tasting menu feel like a small occasion. The cocktail list gets the same obsessive treatment as the kitchen. This is where you take someone when the night needs to feel like it matters.Reservation required
Lounge$$
Guilt & CoDown a long flight of stairs below Maple Tree Square into a brick-vaulted basement lit mostly by candles, with a different band every single night of the year. The drinks menu is secondary to the music here and that's the whole point. You come for jazz, swing, or whoever's booked, and the cocktail just keeps your hands busy.Book ahead
