They won't be around for long, but until the end of December, two new pop up lounges are making the city's downtown cocktail scene a lot more festive. Enjoy a glass of wine while taking a break from holiday shopping or drinks and dinner to celebrate getting it all done.
Reflections: Winter pop-up on the Garden Terrace
Nov. 24 to Dec. 30
Located within the Rosewood Hotel Georgia, the Garden Terrace has been transformed into a winter wonderland allowing guests to use the terrace for the first time in winter making it an ideal spot to drop by for a warm winter cocktail and quick bite after a day of shopping.
The intimate lounge will be decked out with twinkling Christmas trees, mistletoe and over-sized candles. Heat lamps and plush blankets mean everyone will stay cozy, no matter how chilly the night. A new winter terrace menu has been created by executive chef Harold Lemos, and includes everything from cheese fondue to turkey sausage rolls to mulled wines and an extensive range of whiskies.
Roof Garten
Now through Dec. 31
Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, this unique and exclusive rooftop restaurant/event space features beautiful decor, elegant lighting, two full-service bars, local art installations and more. The kitchen is in the very capable hands of executive/celebrity chef Victor Bongo who has created a menu ideal for sharing, which makes it great for a casual and fun dinner or a carefully curated dining experience. Roof Garten is open to the public Fridays and Saturdays from 6 p.m. until “late,” and only until the end of the year. The space is located at 670 Smithe St., the former home of the Rooftop Cantina and SkyBar.
