Tis the season!

Whether indulging in endless gift shopping, baking sweet yuletide treats, decorating the house, planning parties or racing around trying to get EVERYTHING done for Christmas all in one go, remember that at a least a few small breaks, every so often, is entirely necessary if you expect to fully enjoy the holidays.

Gastown presents the opportunity to do just that. If you are someone who enjoys the art of cocktail making, grab a friend or two and escape the madness by sitting comfortably with a nice mixed drink.

Here’s a list of some of the latest colorful libations being crafted right here in the neighbourhood.
