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 would prefer to drink water and have simple bar snacks to cleanse my palate in between sips of whiskey. The location is a little bit in the middle of nowhere so it always takes some pre planning to go there with company.

Huge, huge, huge fan of the Shebeen! I've been living in Vancouver for 4+ years now and have been…read morefrequenting the downtown nightlife scene for longer, and have never heard or been to the Shebeen up until a few weekends ago. 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!

I was looking for champagne, which they had an unfamiliar brand but it was really light, more on the dry side, and crisp - exactly what I was looking for! The bartender was informative and kept busy during my time there. The ambiance is warm and loungey with lots of different seating options. Some facing the hotel lobby for people watching, a couple of intimate booths, group seating around the fireplace, and bar top seats. A group came in for whiskey, and played board games that were available in the seating area. The holiday decorations made it cozy and the perfect spot to read a book while sipping on a good champs!

We wanted to grab a beer and head back to the boat. The atmosphere is super fun. We were greeted right away and I was overwhelmed with the beer list. The server let me try a few. I don't think she heard me because it was a little loud. I ended up getting a beer I wasn't a fan of. I'm not one to send things back so I drank what I had. 1 star for the beer I had. This place has MANY drinks to try from. I didn't see a food menu. They might have one. I also didn't see a physical menu, it was scanned from the bar. Still recommend going here!

After a quick search on Yelp we settled on The Churchill so they could try several different local beers. I opted for the featured cocktail of the month Into The Wild with blackberry gin, blueberry liqueur, honey, lemon & orange bitters. I thought it was really good, smooth but potent. When visiting Canada, I thought it was mandatory to get the Poutine - Beer battered fries, squeaky cheese curds, homemade beef gravy. Very filling and did not disappoint. The rest of the family liked their choices (Nashville Hot Grilled Chicken Burgers, Pulled Jackfruit Bun) as well. We sat in a large booth instead of at the bar like most of the regulars and locals. Service was a little slow but would not keep me from coming back.

Food/Beverage: I ordered the Rosemary Sage Latte which was not too sweet and perfectly balanced between coffee and milk with a beautiful rosemary aroma.

Ambiance: The space is divided into multiple rooms, which were mostly full, I was able to grab a seat in the conference room which had a nice view of the harbor. There is free 2 hour parking.

Service was nice, they offered to warm up all my pastries although I took it to go. Next time will take my time and hangout at this cafe at their no assigned seating areas.
