The Keefer Bar

Editorial Review

Like a sexy scene from Blade Runner, The Keefer’s moody dècor blends elements of Asia with vintage apothecary chic. But don’t worry about replicants here: original cocktails are their specialty, devising competition-worthy drinks at the drop of a fedora. Peking Duck sliders, dim sum, pizza and skewers all hit the mark, whether sharing or shamelessly hogging. Outdoor fire pits under a covered patio are a big hit on rainy nights, and in summertime, the hottest VIP scene in town is around the Keefer’s rooftop pool, where the glass bottom looks down into one of Vancouver’s priciest penthouse rentals.
