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

The Alibi RoomA hundred-year-old heritage warehouse where Vancouver's craft beer scene effectively started, 50-plus rotating taps chalked up behind a long bar and a room that fills with regulars who know the cask list better than the bartenders. It's a tavern, not a cocktail bar, and it wears that proudly. Expect communal tables, shared plates, and zero pretense.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
