Pourhouse Restaurant

A handsome room with real old Vancouver character gives this Gastown bar much of its appeal. The long reclaimed wood bar, vintage feel, and easy confidence make it a place that works just as well for a proper cocktail as it does for a relaxed dinner and a second round. Drinks lean classic in spirit, with a strong sense of cocktail history behind them, and the staff usually know how to guide you without making it feel formal. What makes it worth visiting is the balance it strikes between polish and warmth. It feels established, comfortable, and genuinely good at what it does.
