The Keefer Bar is a gem! The cocktails are absolutely top-notch — creative, balanced, and crafted with a lot of care. Each drink feels well thought out, with flavors that complement rather than overpower. The smoky cocktail in particular stood out — rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced without being overwhelming. Great atmosphere and friendly staff too. Definitely a must-visit if you’re into quality cocktails!

Probably the best happy hour I've been to in Vancouver. The food and drinks were excellent and the happy hour pricing was very generous.

They chose a theme and fully committed to the bit. Upon entry you are given a prescription pad with instructions for one of their drinks and the QR code to the menu. The menu itself is full of fun drinks. The decor on the inside of the bar is on theme and even the bathroom has X-rays in it. The cocktails we had were delicious and as described.

Fun bar with excellent cocktail menu and knowledgeable staff. This place is always busy and I get the appeal but is very narrow so it can feel crowded very easily. It gets to the point where everyone is saying sorry or having to slide past people die to the space but worth a visit. Drinks range from very spirit forward to fun drink perfect for a girls night out. I loved the skeleton kiss with a delicious smoky flavour and a bit of spice at the end. I would also recommend getting a shot of yuzu sake which might be a new favourite for me, it is like lemoncellos cooler younger sister with a slight sweetness burst of freshness.
Drink menu is deep and all bangers. Our server was great, made great recommendations, checked in on us just the right amount and was generally great. Inside was a bit loud for my elderly ears, but sitting outside was perfect. They even gave my wife a blanket to make sure she was comfortable! Definitely a must-go for cocktail enthusiasts.

This long-standing bar has built a solid reputation over the years, and it’s easy to see why. Every cocktail on the menu is expertly crafted with great attention to detail, delivering both excellent flavor and balance in every sip. The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting—perfect for unwinding with friends or enjoying a night out—and the staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable, making the whole experience feel special from start to finish.

Happy Hour drinks are small but creative and well made. We enjoyed excellent service by Courtney and Emma. The common infused water is a fun bonus, and we would return for drinks again this trip.

Great bar with a focus on unique drinks and bar food. The menu is eclectic and innovative, with fun little happy hour drinks that are the perfect size to try more than one!
Service was very good, Emi Wasa gracious host; say hi to Courtney if you see her, she’s a great server.
We had an Antidote and a Rosemary Gimlet - both were lovely, layered, and delicious. We will try to visit again on our trip!
