14 Best Bars in Vancouver | Condé Nast Traveler

"The Lobby Lounge and RawBar, in the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel, does serious, well-designed cocktails grouped into categories like “Refreshing” (Kaiju, featuring rum, lime, wasabi, cucumber, and absinthe), “Elegant” (Shogun, with Japanese whisky, madeira, coffee-infused cynar, and spiced raisin cordial), and “Intriguing” (Dreamland, with gin, mescal, shishito peppers, egg whites, juices, and paprika). But if you’re not up for cocktails, there's also wine, Champagne, and sake, all of which you’ll want to pair with food—the other reason you’re here." - Guy Saddy
