Best Cocktail Bars in Point Grey/UBC

Incredible first time experience. We sat at the bar, as those were the only seats we could get. But it was fantastic as the the bartender / mixologist was amazing to watch and very fun to chat with -- he loved his craft. The staff and owners were also friendly and we chatted with them for a while. The food was off the charts, and the portion sizes were great. We were stuffed by the end, which is rare in the city now with portion sizes usually being so small. Will definitely go back again and again.

Great food and atmosphere. The wine prices could use an adjustment, quite high prices by the glass.

Nice dining experience and the dishes are creative. Noteworthy for me is the lamb skewers cooked to perfection , crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the XO risotto, the umami of the XO sauce nicely complements the richness the risotto. However, the steak fell short for me. Although it was grilled on both sides, the steak was cold. I like my steaks medium-rare but this steak felt like a rare.

You always know it’s been a fantastic night when it ends at Grapes & Soda

Amazing vibe, small and cozy. Great drinks. Would absolutely come here again.
