About this Event

About The Experience

This tour focuses on Vancouver’s historic Chinatown, a neighborhood where traditional Chinese heritage meets a cutting-edge modern nightlife scene. Here is a detailed description of what the experience typically includes:

This is a guided cocktail and culture tour that takes you deep into the atmospheric side of one of North America’s oldest Chinatowns. Instead of just visiting bars, your host—a seasoned local food and drink expert—curates a journey through the neighborhood's transformation, visiting world-class cocktail dens hidden behind unassuming storefronts.

What You'll Drink & Eat

The tour generally visits three distinct, award-winning venues, each representing a different facet of the neighborhood’s "after-dark" personality:

1. Handcrafted Cocktails: You will enjoy three expertly crafted cocktails (one at each venue). These are often Asian-inspired, utilizing unique ingredients that reflect the neighborhood's roots, such as tea-infused spirits or exotic bitters.
2. Hidden Speakeasies: A major highlight is gaining exclusive access to two of Chinatown’s most secretive and atmospheric speakeasies that are easily missed by the average passerby.
3. Asian-Inspired Bites: This is more than just drinks. You will be served generous portions of chef-selected appetizers and small plates at each stop—some crafted by Michelin-rated chefs—designed to perfectly complement the cocktail program.

What is Included

• Drinks & Food: All three cocktails and the accompanying food pairings at each stop are included in the price.
• Expert Narrative: Your guide acts as a cultural and cocktail connoisseur, sharing the "philosophy" behind the drinks and the rich history of Chinatown’s buildings and community.

• Intimate Group Setting: Capped attendance to ensure a personalized, conversational environment.
