Kissa Tanto Bar

KISSA TANTO

Tucked away in the upper story of a faded storefront in Vancouver’s historic Chinatown, Kissa Tanto provides a much-needed escape from the everyday. With a constantly evolving menu of Japanese and Italian influenced fare, Kissa Tanto or aka “House of Plenty” is an ode to the disappearing jazu kissa (jazz cafés) of 1960’s Tokyo.

 

Keefer Bar

KEEFER BAR

An Apothecary-inspired cocktail bar in the heart of Vancouver’s Chinatown, The Keefer Bar has been voted Canada’s second best bar for three years in a row, with a list of over 25 unique cocktails and a dark moody atmosphere. The Keefer Bar also offers a wide selection of beer, wine and spirits.
