Inside the Fairmont Pacific Rim, this is Vancouver's most decorated cocktail bar (No. 26 on North America's 50 Best 2025) and the drinks earn it, order the Marine Martini with kombu and sea asparagus or the foie-washed Duck Duck Goose. The room is bright marble, brass and greenery, polished rather than cozy. The honest caveat: it's a hotel bar with hotel prices ($16+ a cocktail) and a see-and-be-seen energy, so it's a special-occasion stop, not a casual one.
