Vancouver's new California cocktail lounge is opening next week (PHOTOS)

The Ventura Room is gearing up to officially open its doors next week.

The new spot is located atĀ 695 Cambie Street, the same building as the brand new Browns Socialhouse (found on the plaza of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre).

The concept comes to us from a group of local mixologists and restaurant veterans, who teamed up with Kered Hospitality Group and Browns Restaurant Group.

Aiming to have the same vibes as “going to your friend’s pad for cocktails,” Ventura Room will focus on cocktails and live music,Ā honouring the venueā€™s that preceded it like theĀ Media Club.

Named after Tom Petty’s mentions ofĀ Ventura Boulevard in his famous track Free Fallin’, owners say this inspiration is a hint of what to expect at the new Vancouver spot.

Patrons can expect a laid back environment in the 4,000 sq. ft., 140-seat space (which will eventually boast a patio), food made with fresh ingredients, and a thoughtful cocktail list too.

For food expect casual shareables, handhelds, sushi, street tacos, and pizza.

The drink program has been “carefully curated by some of Vancouver’s best cocktail experts over the past year.”

We’re told to expect “a very playful wine menu” complete with BC and new world wineries along with a selection of craft and international beer list.
