Two Vancouver watering holes make list of North America's 50 Best Bars
A list of North America’s best bars has just dropped, and two Vancouver spots made the cut.
From the organization behind The World’s 50 Best Bars, the list of North America’s 50 Best Bars for 2024 features seven Canadian watering holes.
Topping the list of Canadian spots for the second year in a row is Toronto’s Civil Liberties at number 21.
The Vancouver spots made the list this year are Botanist and The Keefer Bar, which placed 24th and 49th, respectively.
Botanist, the Pacific Northwest-inspired restaurant inside the Fairmont Pacific Rim, featured on the list for the second year in a row.

According to 50 Best, drinks at Botanist are “equal parts showpiece and storytelling.”
The acclaimed spot also won the Michter’s Art of Hospitality Award in 2023 as well as the Exceptional Cocktail Award during Vancouver’s Michelin Guide Awards in October 2022.
