Things to do in Vancouver, Canada: The Best Nightlife
Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

As Ginsmiths we are totally inspired by BC's wilderness diversity, from our rugged coastlines to pristine mountains, waterways and unique botanicals. We became Vancouver’s First Micro-Distillery back in 2013, when we started distilling our first spirits, all from a place of passion and a devotion for gin. Our skill for crafting noteworthy botanical blends for our spirits speaks for itself. Outfitted with our custom designed 300L copper pot still, we handcraft all our premium spirits in small-batches from our unique botanical blends that allow our spirits to speak for themselves. The result – a host of international awards for our premium Gins and seasonal spirits. We want you to think of our long table as a place where kindred spirits meet!

We discovered the Alibi Room a little off the beaten path of the touristy section of Gastown. 40 craft beers on tap. The food is locally sourced and delicious. The chef/ owner changes the menu based on availability of ingredients so menu items change often. He creates only one dessert each night and ours included a beer infused fudgesicle, ice cream on shortbread cookie crumbs, roasted cherries, and a creamy fudge cake; all made in house. It also has an interesting eclectic decor. Worth checking out.
