Not as good as the original but still...

My wife and I used to love strolling the city and ending up at the Irish Heather for a pint (or three) and some fantastic authentic pub fare. This was in their original location. Then, we had a family and it took us a while to get back but we finally got back to check out their new digs and new menu. While the beer selection is still fantastic we were disappointed in the overall vibe. The food was still good but the value took a bit of a hit from their original location. While it was a great experience overall we still miss the original.

Vancouver’s best whisky bars for sipping spirits

Vancouver’s best whisky bars for sipping spirits

An institution on Vancouver’s whiskey scene, this Gastown pub offers just as many whiskeys its counterpart Shebeen Whiskey House (both bars are under the same owner), but with a more relaxed, informal atmosphere. Classic pub fare such as fish and chips or steak and fries complement any whiskey choice, and upbeat music and a young clientele make this venue an ideal stop on any pub-crawl.

Hit these Happy Hour hotspots in Vancouver's Gastown 'hood

You’ll find incredible Happy Hour deals at the Irish Heather from 3:00 to 6:00 pm each and every day. A freshly pulled pint of Guinness, Kronenbourg 1664, or a bourbon pickleback shot (just ask) will each set you back only $5. Aperol Spritzs are also on special for only $8, so bring a date, grab a couple of drinks, and make sure to take their hearty pub menu for a spin – the Guinness pot pie is to die for.
