Gerard Lounge

17 Best Bars in Vancouver, From Tiki Bars to Supper Clubs | Condé Nast Traveler

"I see Gerard Lounge as an old-world, English-club–style cocktail nook hidden inside the Sutton Place Hotel—all leather and wood with sunken black couches and a fireplace that’s unbeatable in winter. The bartenders craft meticulous cocktails like the smoky, bright Smokin’ Peaches (Lagavulin 8, Johnnie Walker Black, peach, bergamot bitters) and the citrusy Samsonite (mezcal, Aperol, cucumber, orange bitters, honey, lemon), but the best approach is often to tell the bartenders your flavor preferences and let them create something off the cuff." - Sara Harowitz
