The Whip Gallery
Not as kinky as you'd think - but a spanking good time.
With its modern-rustic interior, relaxed attitude and plenty of volume through the speakers, this East Vancouver local draws in a friendly crowd of mostly sub-30 hipsters and art-types. There's a decent selection of bar food to keep you going (the roast duck pizza on puff pastry gets a thumbs up), an unlikely line-up of beers and, rather refreshingly, a cocktail list with a sense of humour (Seven Deadly Sins martinis vs. Four Cardinal Virtues sangrias) to make sure your evenings go with a crack.
Top Tip / UJ Loves: The east side style vibe! Ask the servers for neighborhood happenings - sure to be a gallery opening close by after your meal.
UJ Orders: Seven Deadly Sins Martinis, Greed: Tanqueray, Gekkeikan Sake, Soho Lychee, Cran-Apple Juice.
