Whisky Forum - Visting Vancouver

Hi,
We will be visiting Vancouver for a few days in May, then cruising to Alaska.

Can anyone recommend any good whisky bars or any decent whisky shops worth looking in Vancouver?

Mrs Dogg was 40 this month, hence the big trip.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

I wish we had whisky bars here in Fresno, California. The places we do have consist of a very expensive upper class restaurant, and a okay restaurant that has like 10 single malts.

There is a British Pub about 4 hours from my house called the Crown and Anchor. The Bangers and Mash is fantastic and I remember they had somewhere around 30+ single malts to choose from.

Thanks Quaich1, the Sunset Grill is quite near our hotel so I'll pop in for at least one dram.
Cheers

I've heard of a place in North Vancouver with a big selection but that may have been a shop rather than a pub.
There is a cute little whiskey room in the back of Fanclub on Granville to go with their nice selection of craft beers (an industry booming wonderfully right now in town).
The first picture in this collection shows said room;

There is a whiskey menu somewhere on this site too.
Have fun!

Quaich1, we visited the Shebeen whisky House, it had a good selection of drams that would put a few in Scotland to shame.
It actually had two whisky bars, I had a BenRiach 15 Year Old Pedro Xim?nez Sherry Cask Finish for the first time and I liked it.
So thanks for telling me about it.

We found a distillery on Granville Island, we had a small tasting but it was too young and rough, worth popping into though.
