"This Vancouver neighborhood bar has a relaxed atmosphere with more than 20 beers on draft, pool tables, and arcade games. While much of the menu focuses on sandwiches and generic bar snacks, Shanahan’s offers a braised corned beef hoagie with horseradish sauce and beer-battered Alaskan cod fish and chips, plus Irish American standards like “Irish nachos.” Those into the distilled elements of Irish pub culture should head to the Infirmary, the adjacent sibling to Shanahan’s; the bar features more than 250 varieties of whiskey, including several of Ireland’s finest. The Infirmary also offers a wide range of cigars that can be enjoyed on the smoke-friendly patio." - Maya MacEvoy
