Restaurant bar$$$
June on CambieUpstairs is a blush-pink brasserie; downstairs, past velvet curtains, Lala spins vinyl in a basement built by a Mexico City design firm. The listening bar keeps a tight classic cocktail list and borrows snacks straight off June's menu.Book ahead
Speakeasy$$$
Key PartyWalk past the filing cabinets of a fake office on Main Street and the red velvet drops away into a 1970s house-party fever dream. The cocktail list leans on twisted riffs on 60s and 70s classics, and there is no door list to get past, just a line.Walk-ins only
Agave & mezcal$$
ChupitoVancouver's yellow shipping container moved to Yukon Street and brought its agave-only soul with it. Every guest gets a complimentary shot at the door, and the cocktail list runs Sinaloa-inspired with low-intervention wine and rotating alcoholic popsicles on the side.Book ahead
