The GOODS from Oakwood Canadian Bistro

Vancouver, BC | In the 70’s, The Oakwood in Kits used to be a spot called “Rohan’s Rockpile”. It was a pub known best for after-hours shows and hosted a broad range of amazing talents, from local singer songwriters to the world-renowned Rolling Stones and The Who. Rohan’s had music industry connections and brought in some of the best. Upon discovering this, The Oakwood felt obliged to pay tribute to the great music venue that it once was.

To get it rolling, we brought on a ‘resident band’, a very good resident band. Unfortunately, due to their ‘other’ much bigger gigs, we have been unable to promote them by name. They have a very busy summer playing some of the biggest festivals in North America so this will potentially be their last show with us until after the summer. If you’re into indie folk-rock, you will love them.

They helped us revive the spirit of Rohan’s Rockpile and we will carry on with our Sunday Sessions finding up and coming talent to play at The Oakwood on the last Sunday of every month. Please come down and enjoy watching a band (that we think will make it big) play at our small, intimate bistro – maybe for the last time this summer – on the night of Sunday, May 25.

Tickets are $10 for reserved seating and are available at the restaurant or online at www.theoakwood.ca. Come join us for another great night of food, drinks and music.

About the Oakwood Canadian Bistro

The Oakwood Canadian Bistro is a casual neighbourhood room specializing in down-to-earth Canadian fare. The restaurant’s name pays homage to the reclaimed wood materials used in the space, as well as Kitsilano’s tree-themed street names. The small, straightforward menu showcases honest Canadian fare influenced by French techniques.

The Oakwood Canadian Bistro’s food philosophy is focused on fresh, house-made dishes crafted from locally sourced products. The seasonally changing menu caters to market availability and the sustainability of the products. All meats are organic, local and free of hormones and antibiotics, while the seafood is sustainable, seasonal and Ocean Wise certified. From the breads and pastas to the butchery and sauces, all products are made in-house with quality and consistency. At the bar, guests will find an excellent selection of 11 local craft beers, classic cocktails and an expertly chosen wine list.

The Oakwood Canadian Bistro welcomes with a comfortable, down-to-earth room designed by Mike Shea, who was inspired by restaurants he has experienced on his travels. Shea worked with SSDG Interiors and master carpenter Roman Mann to help implement his vision for the 85-seat room, which features key design elements — including a 16-seat communal table — made from reclaimed fir, oak and cedar. The welcoming patio seats 15 guests. Serving fresh, honest food in a casual neighbourhood environment, this modest Kitsilano room encourages diners to gather around the central communal table with old and new friends, sip BC craft beers and linger over one of Chef Michael Robbins’ seasonally driven dishes.
