    Only had drinks. As you'd expect for a whiskey bar, they have a full list of whiskeys. Service was…read morefriendly, not fast, but it's a rather laid back and casual place. Would recommend stopping by on a crawl, or while waiting for a table somewhere else. Funnily enough, their menu has drinks named after waiting for a table at adjacent restaurants.

    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'm not a big whiskey drinker but there are plenty of other items on the menu for you to enjoy. I ordered the bone marrow and lamp chops which were both delicious. Note, this is not the place for a large meal, they offer small plates to go with your drinks. The service was friendly. Afterwards, I encourage looking around the house and walking the grounds.

Today I had a cup of drip coffee and a savory scone - both were fresh and delicious. Lots of pastries to choose from and the full range of coffee/espresso drinks available. I'm sitting by a picture window looking at the docked sailboats and Jetty Island, as well as many pedestrians walking along a paved path - looks like the path winds around the harbor for a mile or so. Quiet place to read, comfortable sofas and chairs. Service was fast and friendly, seemed to be well staffed this morning. Venue is interesting: historic building, lots of wood, interpretive plaques, lots of windows, outside deck to watch the sunset or just enjoy being outside. Much better place to chill compared to coffee chains. I'm sure I will be back.
