The GOODS from Market by Jean-Georges

Vancouver, BC | For all those men and women who end their days late and start early. For all those women who crash through the glass ceiling, and the men who sweep up after them. For all those who have made or lost their fortune before their first cup of morning coffee. For all those who feel a drink is best enjoyed in the company of those they see across a boardroom table by day, and the dance floor by night. For all those who think a real drink doesn’t come with muddled fruit, preserved ginger or bacon. For all those men and women there is…the classic Martini. Gin. Vodka. Vermouth. Olives, onions or a twist. The bartenders of Market by Jean-Georges, under the direction of award-winning, lead barman, Jay Jones, are bringing back the classics at classic prices, beginning with the martini. Starting February 27, enjoy a martini – full-sized – of chilled No.3 Gin or Belvedere Vodka, shaken or stirred with your choice of olives, twist or onion for CAD $8.00. This classic martini is now available seven days a week, from 11:30 a.m. until close.

Market’s love affair with classic cocktails continues as bartenders serve up an additional classic cocktail special Monday through Friday. The “Crazy about the Classics” will offer a daily special: Manhattan Mondays, Negroni Tuesdays, Old-Fashioned Wednesdays, Aviation Thursdays, Sazerac Fridays. These week-day specials, only available on their appointed day, are also priced at $8 on their designated day – no mixing.
