The Best Wine Bars in Vancouver

Natural wine bar in South Granville with a list that rotates fast enough to keep the regulars guessing. Grapes & Soda was an early champion of biodynamic and natural labels in Vancouver, and the backbar backs it up with small-batch local spirits and a solid run of bottles from Mexico. The room fits exactly one bartender, so some ingredients come pre-batched, which keeps things moving without losing the plot.

The fridges here run deep with natural, low-intervention, and unfiltered wines from B.C. and further afield, and the staff will pop a cork in your direction before you've even settled in. Bar Tartare is a wine bar tucked inside the Birds and the Beets cafe on Alexander, with a short food menu anchored by the tartare the name promises. Guest chefs rotate through on nights, so the kitchen is never quite the same twice.

Ten stools, two bartenders, and a wine wall that takes itself seriously without making you feel like you should too. West is a wine bar on Granville that embodies what Vancouver does well: high-touch without the starch. The bartenders have been here long enough to know what you want before you do, and afternoons are unhurried, though weekend evenings pack the room two deep with the pre-dinner crowd treating it as a destination in itself.
