BEST bar in ...the world?? If well-crafted cocktails are your thing this is a must-visit spot. If cocktails aren't for you, visit anyways, it's a groovy spot! Bono visits the Keefer Bar when he's in town, so if it's good enough for him... ;-)
Best news of all, it's a 6-minute walk from your loft.

There are several great spots in this hotel that I love:
1927 (Lobby level bar) - great on a Sunday afternoon
Prohibition - the name says it all (order the beer cheese!)
Reflections - one of Vancouver's only rooftop bars (amazing)
Hawksworth - fine dining and well worth it!
