    First time here, and I'm already plotting my next visit. From the moment I walked in, the greeter welcomed me like I was royalty (or at least like I was famous for tipping well). The two bartenders deserve a standing ovation--they were so attentive I felt like a VIP at my own private whiskey tasting. The live music was on point--these musicians were pros! But I couldn't help noticing the crowd trying to compete with the band for air time. Pro tip: If you're coming here, please let the music win. Now let's talk about the food. I didn't eat, but wow, it looked so good I'm still thinking about it. It was like a runway show of gourmet dishes parading by my table. Final thought: How have I not been here before?! Clearly, past me made terrible life choices. A+ for ambiance, service, and vibes. I'll definitely be back--this time, I'll bring my appetite and maybe some duct tape for the chatty crowd.

    I am not much of a whiskey drinker, but I was staying at the hotel next door and came in late for a glass of wine. I did not know that I was going to have to walk outside in the rain to get there, but I was welcomed at the bar, even looking tired and wet. It was late and I was not looking for food, but I was delighted to see a sparkling cuvee on the wine list. I love bubbles. The bartender was friendly and they kept me occupied long enough for the rain to subside and I could walk back. This is kind of an industrial area, from what I can tell, so it was nice to have a nice place to stop and enjoy a drink.

    CASK Whisky Vault's tasting menu is a true culinary masterpiece. The Abalone Motoyaki is a divine Japanese delicacy that perfectly balances the sweetness of the creamy sauce with the tender texture and umami flavour of the abalone. And don't even get me started on the Maguro Tuna Tartare - the tuna tartare goes well with crispy taro chips, complementing the dish's buttery texture and refreshing flavours. Whiskey chocolate cake is a heavenly dessert that combines the richness of dark chocolate with the subtle warmth and depth of whiskey, resulting in a decadent treat that's both indulgent and sophisticated. Each dish (total of 6 dishes) on the $59 tasting menu is a unique and creative masterpiece that will leave you wanting more. Trust me; you will want to experience this unforgettable dining experience at CASK Whisky Vault. Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: ‍‍‍‍‍5/5 Kids: 3/5 A-OK for kids. (maybe better for the big kids & because of the bar) Price: $50-$100 for four (Happy Hours) Presentation: 5/5 Parking: Paid parking Tips: * is easy to miss the entrance. The entrance is shaped like a vault and makes you feel like you're going into a hidden bar. * recommends making a reservation. * has live music starting at 8 pm on Sundays and Tuesdays. * makes for a perfect date night restaurant in Richmond. Would I Return: Yes ‍

    One fine evening, wife and i decided to try this place as we have heard abt it from other people. Just from the name, yes, it is a whiskey lovers paradise. They have every imaginable whiskey. The "vault" was well stocked for the whiskey connoisseur. The ambiance was very cozy. Low mood lighting. Dark rich wood and leather couches. Definitely sets the mood for an intimate evening. We decided on the chefs tasting menu, so as to try majority of their specialties. All in all, the dishes were mediocre. Its anothr fusion or western and asian foods. Most were asian in nature and tasted just average. Like the pickled veggies and karaage with seaweed. Very common fare. Tasted ordinary. No umaminess and or point to rave about. Even the wagyu and tongue yakitoris tasted the same. I was expecting quality wagyu...but the pieces were smothered in too much sweet bbq sauce that it killed the flavour and texture of the wagyu. Became so caramelized that you couldbt distinguish the wagyu from the tongue. :( However, they make good, colourful, but pricey whiskey cocktails lol. The dessert was very good. Rich chocolate cake and ice cream. Was the best dish if the night. Service was fantasticZ server understood and knew the menu and was able to explain everything. Quick and attentive and always service with a smile. From my experience, better off enjoying excellent whiskey with some tapas. Dont get fooled by the fine dining decors and ambiance, food is simply average. Similar to going to an average japanese restaurant. Parking is not free but very cheap. Cheers! Happy eating!

    Cask Whisky Vault is a hidden gem. Located inside of Club Versante, this hotel bar offers a stellar selection of whiskeys from around the world. I stopped by with a group of four on a Friday evening around 10:00 p.m., and unsurprisingly, the place was packed. Our initial thought was to take off and try to find another bar elsewhere, but I'm glad we followed our gut instinct to stick around. We waited in the lobby for spots to open up at the bar and to our surprise, we were seated within 15 minutes. Our bartender -- William, was super knowledgeable when it came to whiskeys. He knew everything on the menu inside out and also was a joy to converse with about off-menu whiskeys. My wife ordered a whiskey flight while I stuck with an Old Fashioned. I thoroughly enjoyed my Old Fashioned -- not too sweet and alcohol forward, and my wife loved the variety of whiskeys presented in her whiskey flight. If you're new to the world of whiskeys, don't be shy about asking for a recommendation from your bartender. They will be more than happy to help you find something that fits your palate (and price-point). If you enjoy your whiskey neat, you can ask for ice on the side if you decide to change your mind later on. The staff is very accommodating. In addition to cocktails and whiskey flights, there's a robust menu of bar bites, savory dishes, and desserts. My friends ordered the bone marrow and only had good things to say about the dish. Kitchen closes at 11:00 p.m. so plan accordingly. After 11:00 p.m., only a small selection of bar bites are available. I wholeheartedly recommend Cask Whisky Vault. A must-visit location if you're stopping in Vancouver. Parking is available in the building at $1.50 per hour.

    What a gem in the Richmond district. As a lover of all kinds of whiskey and delicious Japanese food, this place was the perfect pairing of the two. They have live music starting at 8 on Sundays and Tuesdays. The ambiance is really cool, and you can be up close to engage with the music or be further back and tucked away. The vault tasting menu is great value, tons of food, and you get to try a lot of different things. They had a peaty whiskey flight, a smoother option, an international option, and one that paired with the food super well. Will definitely come back.

    We had an absolutely amazing time checking out Cask Whisky Vault. The whisky selection here is unreal and the snacks are really good too. Definitely worth checking out, we will be back again soon.

One of my best friends was having her birthday party here and I was utterly confused that I'd never heard of this place, so much so, that I questioned her if it was the right spot..... I now admit, that I was in the wrong. The Shebeen is located through a little alley way behind the Irish Heather. You have to go through the actual restaurant to find it, so no wonder it's hard to find! It gave me total speakeasy feels. Our large group took over their little patio area pretty early on around 5:30pm and set up camp there until 10:30ish. It was fairly slow at the beginning, but as the night went on, the inside of the Shebeen filled up and this spot was bumpin'. They specialize in whiskys (hence their name), so I was ordering old fashioneds left and right. I did also have a gin and tonic or two at the beginning of the evening. The old fashioneds were some of my favourite I've had in Vancouver. You can also order food through the Irish Heather menu. After a few drinks, I needed to put some food in my body so I ordered the curry fries. Wow, wow, wow. I was in saucy fry heaven. I need more of this in my life. Honestly, I'd come back just for this. Our servers (we had two checking in on us throughout the evening), were ROCKSTARS! Before I even had finished my drink, they were already checking in and asking if we wanted another... this resulted me in never having an empty drink, which I definitely felt the next day. Now that this spot is on my radar, I'll be back more often. Thanks for a great evening and here's to many more, Shebeen!

It is beautifully appointed It has nice high ceilings but there is still a warm welcoming feel. It's the staff. They are all so welcoming and treat you like they are genuinely happy to serve you. They have music playing but it is subtle, adds nicely to the ambiance and is not too loud. The food was very good. We got there before happy hour so we were able to order a couple of glasses of decent house wines for $6.00 a glass and shared an appetizer of crispy chicken lettuce bites. For entrees my husband had an 8 oz. prime rib special. It was so good. cooked as he had requested it. One of the better prime ribs that we've tasted and it was only $30.00 as a Sunday special. I had the lamb loin that was also very good. Service was also very good. Our server, Stella was so busy but she checked on us regularly to ensure that we were well taken care of. It is so nice when you go to a restaurant and it exceeds your expectations. This has the vibe of a fine dining restaurant with the décor, the muted background music, the service and the food. The prices are very reasonable for what they offer. We highly recommend and we'll be back.

The ribs were meaty and had that nice balance between sweet and tangy sauce.

    " A HIDDEN GEM BURSTING WITH FLAVORS"…read more From the moment we walked in the SMELLS were enchanting songs to our nostrils. We were immediately greeted by staff and sat at a table to view the menu. Now let's be honest. We were tourist just leaving a cruise ship and looking for some good homecooked southern food. Although we reside in Texas, we are originally from New Orleans, La and my boyfriend is a CHEF. I am the foodie and he is the professional chef so restaurants don't stand a chance with our taste buds. Majid (OWNER) & Hamed are absolutely amazing. We were greeted and provided the warmest welcome with descriptions of the menu in detail. Being from the SOUTH were expecting that they were not aware of our cuisine. I was all the way wrong. 1st CHOICE - the Whole Slab of pork ribs tender and falling off of the bone, The flavor was absolutely amazing. It taste as great as MEMPHIS and TEXAS barbecue. I was impressed with the flavor and burst of seasonings that reminded me of a grill and smoked meat. There were 6 pieces with half of slab and 12 pieces with a whole slab. We literally could not even eat all of it. The plate also contained 4 ounces of barbecue sauce, 4oz of barbecue baked beans, 4 oz. of Cole slaw, full serving of coleslaw and a slice of cornbread ( I prefer homemade, hot and buttery flavor on top with serving). The beans were okay but I have had better. The barbecue sauce was not the best to me as well but the food was so good I was not bothered by it. 2nd CHOICE was slices of Moist brisket with charred ends that were so exhilarating it taste like it come straight from the smoker to my table. Every piece of meat was fresh as if they just cooked it for us. The same sides as above came with this plate also except we choose FRESH CAJUN FRIES in addition. They were flavorful and fresh. So we had two servings of each where as we did not need to share the sides. 3rd CHOICE, - Now I must admit, I was in between the macaroni and cheese and the jambalaya. Hamed was very informative in describing it in detail and convincing as it is one of the best sellers. The menu described it as SAUSAGE, SHRIMP AND PULLED CHICKEN, SERVED WITH GREENS AND CORNBREAD. Once it arrived to the table it had a very strange white sauce poured over the rice. This is not described on the menu and it is not a traditional sauce for jambalaya. MY ADVICE INFORM PATRONS OF THIS ADDITION TO THE DISH BECAUSE THIS IS NOT AN INGREDIENT IN CAJUN JAMBALAYA DOWN SOUTH or PLACE ON MENU IN DESCRIPTION. Also the menu describes as greens on plate, and greens is listed on the menu but once asked we were told this is green salad not collard greens. It literally was a small portion of lettuce with no dressing so this needs to be addressed as well. OVERALL , I STILL GAVE A FIVE STAR REVIEW BECAUSE THE FOOD WAS ON POINT FOR BEING LOCATED IN THIS VANCOUVER CANADA. WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED AND I HAVE TO ADMIT MAJID (OWNER) CAN WIN A COUPLE OF COOKOFFS THAT FOOD WAS DELICIOUS I ALSO NEED TO ADD THE HOSPITALITY AND KINDNESS OF MAJID. I watched him walk to each table and ask how was the food and greet all of the guest. He provided us with a souvenir to remember our visit. I almost want to fly out again to eat there and fly back home. TWO DRINKS COST - $98.50 American Dollars VS $135.60 CANADIAN DOLLARS
