Craft cocktails$$
The Alibi RoomA hundred-year-old heritage warehouse where Vancouver's craft beer scene effectively started, 50-plus rotating taps chalked up behind a long bar and a room that fills with regulars who know the cask list better than the bartenders. It's a tavern, not a cocktail bar, and it wears that proudly. Expect communal tables, shared plates, and zero pretense.Book ahead
Restaurant bar$$$$
L'AbattoirBuilt into the stone foundation of Vancouver's first jail, with vaulted brick ceilings and candlelight that makes the French-West Coast tasting menu feel like a small occasion. The cocktail list gets the same obsessive treatment as the kitchen. This is where you take someone when the night needs to feel like it matters.Reservation required
Lounge$$
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
