Opened in early 2010, just in time for the Winter Olympics, The Keefer Bar was among the first few bars to carve out the contemporary cocktail culture in Vancouver. Located in the heart of historic Chinatown, the cocktail program takes it’s inspiration from the local Chinese herbalists. A sign reading “Medical Center” hangs high on the backbar, alluding to the concept of cocktails as remedy.
