Botanist Bar: No. 26 on North America’s 50 Best Bars List

April 30th, 2025

We’re raising a glass to some truly exciting news – Botanist Bar has once again been named among the finest, earning the title of the 26th Best Bar in North America by North America’s 50 Best Bars Academy!

The rankings are determined by the North America’s 50 Best Bars Academy, a panel of over 300 drinks experts, including bartenders, bar owners, drinks media, and seasoned cocktail connoisseurs from Canada, the USA, Mexico and the Caribbean. Vancouver played host to three unforgettable days of mixology, innovation and world-class hospitality, making history this year by bringing the prestigious celebrations to Canada for the very first time.

At the heart of this achievement is Botanist Bar’s bold and imaginative spirit. Drawing inspiration from the Pacific Northwest’s rich biodiversity, the team crafts cocktails through a culinary-forward lens, blending the worlds of science and nature into creations that are as sophisticated as they are inventive.

Under the inspired leadership of Creative Beverage Director Grant Sceney, Botanist Bar continues to push the boundaries of the cocktail scene – not just in Vancouver, but on the global stage.

To the ever-evolving spirit of innovation, the wellspring of inspiration and the wonder born when nature and artistry intertwine. Cheers to Botanist Bar – we can’t wait to see what’s next!
