Lounge At Yew Seafood + Bar On Track For A Facelift And New Cocktails

IMG_5793

The lounge at Yew Seafood + Bar in the Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver is going under the reno knife this weekend. They’re adding booth seating around the circumference of the existing room, which might gain them a few extra seats (not to mention some intimacy for those who want it). They plan on doing the build in one night, Sunday March 2nd, for a Monday opening.
