The GOODS from The Irish Heather

Vancouver, BC | For several years, The Irish Heather has been a fixture on Christmas Day. On an otherwise quiet day for pubs, the establishment has drawn everyone from British and Irish ‘orphans’ stuck in Vancouver with nowhere to go, people for whom Christmas is not a celebration, or those in transit from North Van to Kits, Richmond to West Van, etc. Anybody who has occasion to enter the city loves to stop in at the Heather for a sneaky pint and pie.

Located in the heart of historic Gastown, this GastroPub has garnered many accolades for its service, food, alcohol and ambiance. The Irish Heather is also home to the Shebeen Whisk(e)y house and the Salty Tongue Cafe, which serves as the dining room for the Irish Heather in the evening and home to the famous Long Table Series.

In a world filled with “Plastic Paddy” establishments, the Heather stands out as a beacon of authenticity. An Irish House that is owned by Irish people who actually work there.
