Odd Society Spirits

East Vancouver's little Vodka brand is locally owned and distilled right in this spot. In fact, you can see the hallways of tanks and filtration systems right from the comfort of the tasting lounge. I was warned the first time I came here, buy a friend who told me the drinks here are dangerous. He was not lying. They are dangerously delicious! They serve up more than just vodka though. These guys make a mean gin (and tonic) as well. If you're with a group, try the cocktail pitchers. They are decently priced and incredibly tasty. If you call ahead you can find out when they're doing tours of the distillery.

When beer just isn’t enough it’s best to drop by this micro distillery, one of Vancouver’s newest. The steam-punk inspired tasting room is the perfect backdrop for their creative cocktail list that includes inventions such as the Sour Owl, Razzle Basil, and Modern Hound. Drop in for a taste and then take home a bottle of vodka, gin, sweet vermouth, or crème de cassis. There is also a (very) short list of bar snacks if you need some fuel to stay on the level.
