Cheap Negronis & Hot, Potato Starched Chicken Wings At Pidgin In Gastown

Though we have an incredible cocktail culture in this city, it still pales in comparison to the great drinking corners of the world, places like San Francisco, Seattle, New Orleans, and London. Happy Hour just might be the kick in the ass Vancouver needs, and now that it’s legal, it’s good to detail what’s out there.

From 5pm to 6:30pm, French/Asian-flavoured Pidgin in Gastown cuts the prices of Tiger beer, wine, classic cocktails – eg. Margaritas, Old Fashioned, Negronis, etc. – and matches them with a 50% off food special. It’s an awesome deal, especially in Gastown, where cocktails are often expensive.

Right now the food special is 24hr buttermilk and spice-brined chicken wings crunched with potato starch and drizzled with sticky-zippy gochujung-based sauce — a hot, impactful bargain at $6, and happiest next to a cheap, properly made Negroni. Check it out!

Reverence, Respect, and Realization: What The Acorn Taught Me

At 21 years old, I'm still just a kid and relatively new to working in restaurants, but I grew up umbilically tied to the hospitality industry. My father was a food writer, and my mother is a photographer. Their careers meant that most of my early years were spent in kitchens and dining rooms instead of on playgrounds and soccer fields; consequently, I learned my table manners before I could count past one hundred.
