ALVAREZ LANDS AT MOSQUITO
Chef Jefferson Alvarez joins the Mosquito team this weekend, creating ‘pinxtos’ (Basque-style snacks) to complement the existing champagne and cocktail program. Alvarez was recently at Secret Location before venturing out with creative pop-ups around the city. Before coming to Vancouver, the Venezuelan-born phenom sharpened his knives in Toronto, New York, Philedelphia and Spain. In addition to snacks, Alvarez will be working on a weekend brunch menu for Mosquito. Hooray!
ADVENTOURS HIT THE STAGE AT GUILT

This week’s theme is 90’s jungle / drum and bass / electronic, featuring Kyprios, Ali Siadat (of Mother Mother), JC Thompson, Ashleigh Eymann & Andrew Braun of Rococode.
