Odd Society is a quirky distillery-cum-bar with cozy leather seating, creative cocktails, and a friendly vibe, making it a must-visit in Vancouver.
"Open for: Late lunch and dinner Price range: $ Distilling is still something of a new art in B.C. thanks to its antiquated, post-prohibition booze laws, which only got a refresh in 2013. Odd Society joined the first wave of new distilleries, and it has remained a must-visit and one of the most consistent producers of craft spirits, including gin, vodka, vermouth, and whisky. Check out the cute cocktail lounge at their East Van distillery, located in a converted motorbike garage, and road-test a few spirits before heading out to explore the many neighboring breweries of “Yeast Van.” Know before you go: The affordable bar snacks here include locally made Jamaican hand pies and Dicky’s Dumps dumplings." - Nikki Bayley
"In East Vancouver, this distillery is a pioneer in craft vermouth, amaro, and solera-method whisky." - Joanne Sasvari
"Featuring small-batch craft spirits made with locally sourced ingredients, Odd Society is a local craft distillery nestled in the Port District of East Vancouver. The space is beautiful to say the least. And then there are the cocktails, which are second to none—you can actually taste the devotion to their craft in every sip. They also offer tasting flights so you can taste all their spirits before committing to a cocktail. If you’re into design, the branding is also bang-on. The vodka packaging in particular is one of my favs." - WoodType
"Locals Spirits Shine at Odd Society Tucked away in East Van’s brewery district, Odd Society make some of the city’s most interesting small batch spirits, such as their truly mouth watering Bittersweet Vermouth and their popular Crème de Cassis made with local blackcurrents. From Thursday to Sunday, they also have one of the city’s talented bartenders at the helm, mixing up a range of tasty cocktail treats using their own spirits. Definitely worth the trip across town, and you can pick up a bottle to take home."
