A note for the cocktail lover: this is your spot.
Vancouver Cocktail Week is back from March 5 – 11.
Featuring nightly Cinq a Sept Happy Hour specials and unique VCW events at local Gastown watering holes. Besides, Gastown knows good cocktails.
Here is where you should be spending your cocktail-centric week:
Cinq à Sept Happy Hours
Drop in to these elevated happy hours across the city for VCW signature cocktails, snacks, entertainment, socializing and more.
Once the workday is done, head straight to one of these elevated happy hours based on the French concept of the “cinq à sept”— 5 to 7 pm, the playful hours between work and family life.
