Robson’s ‘Timber’ To Pay Tribute To Canadian Legends The Tragically Hip, Aug. 20

The GOODS from Timber

Vancouver, BC | On Saturday, August 20th at 5pm, join us in paying tribute to an iconic Canadian band; The Tragically Hip. 25% of the proceeds from tickets sold will go to the Canadian Cancer Society. The CBC live stream of their final performance will happen commercial free at 5:30pm on all of our 10 TVs.

To celebrate one of Canada’s most loved bands (and one of our faves) we’ll be having a special supper & concert viewing event. Your ticket includes Turtle Valley Bison Ranch smoked bison hip supper, a seat for the live stream on CBC-TV, and a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society. We’re tapping a fresh cask of beer from Phillips Brewing too.

The Tragically Hip have always had a special relationship with their fans. They’ve helped to define what it means to be Canadian all across this great country. This is your chance to watch what will certainly be one of Canada’s most memorable concerts and eat great Canadian food while you’re at it.

*if we sell all 80 tickets, we’ll donate an extra 25% to the gathered donation amount.

WHEN | Saturday, 20 August 2016 from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM (PDT) | TICKETS

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.
