The GOODS from Timber

Vancouver, BC | Celebrate this great country of ours at Timber this Canada Day. Where else can you get delicious Canadian comfort food and s’mores in the middle of downtown Vancouver? There’s nowhere else you can take a photo of yourself next to a Canada Goose while sipping a Caesar. Eh?

Live Music | We will have live music from Canadian Singer/Songwriter Vicky Sjohall from 5-7:30pm, and our very own Pascal Chatelain will perform a late night set.

Hours of operation | We open at 10am on Friday, July 1st and will be serving food from the Timber kitchen and drinks until 12:30am.

Happy Hour 3-6pm | We’ll be passing out some ‘bison in a blanket’ and deep fried cheese curds, and smoking some meat next to the Timber Campfire. Plus, we’re filling the Coleman cooler with Old Style Pilsner for $4 (Terry, our Canada Goose, will watch over the cooler).

All day | We’ll be selling a Caesar flight from our Caesar menu.

We’ll have a Timber prize pack for ‘best Canada Day spirit’- come with your best Canada Day clothes/hats/tattoos/wigs – tag ‘timbervancouver’ in an Instagram photo of yourself next to Terry at Timber to enter – and win!

We’ll have the ‘Canadian photo corner’ going with Canadian costume-type things from our trunk, and hockey sticks, foam fingers, Canadian flags.

Dessert | In the evening from 6-10pm we’ll have DIY s’mores on the menu. For $7/person, make your own plate of s’mores at the Timber campfire.

ABOUT TIMBER

Dedicated locavore chef – Chris Whittaker of Forage – is solidifying the West End as one of Vancouver’s most dynamic foodie neighbourhoods with his new restaurant in the high-ceilinged iconic space next door to Forage on Robson at Jervis.

The new restaurant is called Timber, and the menu reads like a roadmap of Canadian comfort food. Home of the bison burger and deep-fried cheese curds, other daily features include pea meal bacon chops, bannock, elk tourtiere, and fish & chips. Add a brown butter tart for dessert and you’ve had yourself some fine Canadian home cooking.

The design of the room is a nostalgic nod to British Columbia’s rich timber history and the salt of the earth who built this province, one two-by-four at a time.

The 1900 square foot space boasts an 18 seat communal table, bench and window-side seating, and features reclaimed barn board from Glorious Organics Farm in Aldergrove. The space is designed by blacksmith/polymath Dustin Pritchard (check out his behind the scene photos from his workshop on Instagram @blacksmithdustin).

“We have two purposes at Timber – to celebrate Canadian cuisine and to have a lot of fun while we’re at it!” states Chef Chris Whittaker.

If you’re looking for a place to grab a craft beer or a single malt and a mushroom gravy poutine while you curse the hockey refs on TV, Timber is where you want to be.

The first puck dropped in November 2015 and it’s off to a great start welcoming our West End neighbours. Open daily until late.
