Brix and Mortar

A hidden gem of Yaletown, Brix and Mortar boasts a glass-covered courtyard that echoes upscale country club vibes and a chic downstairs dining area with an outdoor terrace where you can book tables for smaller groups. If the numbers are going to be bigger, you can consider one of the semi-private nooks for a sit-down dinner and drinks. The venue plays ambient music to set the tone for an evening event. Of course, you could try and always request a Christmas song, or two.
