Long Table Distillery

"Since its inception three years ago, Long Table Distillery has continually raised the bar for craft spirit production. This mom and pop shop specializes in gin, and has won numerous awards for it, but they also make vodka, akvavit, and a few seasonal liqueurs. Friday is gin and tonic night and Saturdays are for cocktails (I highly recommend the Royal We with bourbon-barreled gin and the City of the Sun in warm weather). The retail shelves on the side of the room are stocked with everything you need for your home bar, from spirits and bitters to mixing spoons, jars, and glassware." - Amer Alkhatib

"Vancouver's first micro-distillery dabbles in a variety of spirits, but specializes in gin. The owners are true gin enthusiasts and they love to share their passion. Sit at the bar to have a chat with them. Fridays are Gin & Tonic evenings, with a food truck parked outside. The G&T may be a ubiquitous drink, but it is so for a reason and no one makes it better. Try the cucumber variety, with the delicious Fever Tree tonic. Cocktail Saturdays are equally fun. Go for the "Dyson Sphere" (pear-infused gin cocktail) or the bourbon-barrel-gin-old-fashioned concoction "Duke". Side note: the distillery is named after a beautiful art installation in the park across the street by Pechet and Robb." - Becki Chan & Milos Begovic
