Keefer was a great time. It was last call, but Riley took the time to make us drinks. Cicely gave us superb service even though it was last minute, and Lucas just so happened to know one of the people in our group and greeted us. Drinks were tasty, service was astounding, and the atmosphere is one to remember for the ages! Highly recommend anyone who wants to experience a hidden gem in the heart of Chinatown
The vibe of this place is amazing! The atmosphere and ambiance is very unique and original. The drinks are absolutely delicious and elevated. The bar snacks are very interesting and fun. The staff is very friendly and efficient. Our bartender Hugo is one of the best bartenders/mixologist I've ever met. He made our night with his chill attitude and amazing skills. Thanks Hugo!
Huge shout out to Riley. He makes some amazing cocktails and is excellent in his hospitality skills. The vibe there was the perfect way to wrap up our night after the hockey game. Thanks again.
Best cocktail bar in Vancouver imo. Dark and cozy atmosphere. Try the Skeletal Kiss if you like Mezcal. Give the bartenders a few flavors or hints to what you like and they’ll make you something custom that will not disappoint. (Lucas behind the bar is a damn master!). Bao is really good here too.
Really unique cocktail bar with drinks that I’ve never tasted the likes of before. Food was also much higher quality and decent portion sizing than bars usually provide. I highly recommend the Tokyo drift and siu mai.
This is without a doubt my favourite cocktail bar in all of Vancouver and I tell this to everyone who will listen.
The atmosphere is perfectly curated, as is the lengthy cocktail list! I've always had really lovely servers here as well. Just absolutely flawless.
Heads up - it is usually quite busy and I highly recommend making a reservation in advance!

Straight off, loved the atmosphere and the vide.
It has the look of An old bar with dim lights and worthy of a place to have a couple of drinks and relax.
The have a zillion cocktails they have on their menu, just about to satisfy any pallet!
They have some food options, all of which are finger food, what one would find sim a typical bar.
The spicy cucumber were as the name goes, spicy and had kick to it! The steam buns though looked innocently small were filling!
They are a bit on the expensive side but I can easily look past that when considering the quality and the refinement of the cocktails.
Overall, highly recommend the place for anyone looking to grab a drink or two over a conversation!

This is a cool little bar in Chinatown that plays homage to its roots with its interior decoration and food offering. And I will say, this is probably the BEST value happy hour that you can get in Vancouver.
First, for happy hour, they have specially selected cocktails, a beer, and a couple of alcohol pours. It’s very rare that you can find a well made cocktail from a top notch bar like this one, with happy hour pricing ($6-8).
Next, all of their snacks and dim sum are 50% off during happy hour, meaning you can pay anywhere from $3-$6 for your food items.
Finally, every cocktail you order is well crafted and a lot of thought and creativity are put behind them. The service is good, and the vibes are awesome.
There’s a reason why there’s usually a line-up outside this place, and they certainly deliver. Note: because of its location, there can be some less than welcoming people around, sometimes hanging out on the patio outside for a quick break. Otherwise definitely worth checking out!
