After moving across the street from its original location, the Heather has become a slicker version of its former self. And while not all the old regulars are happy about the upgrade, it's still undeniably one of Vancouver's best gastropubs. Pull up a chair on the bar side – the floor is reclaimed Guinness barrels – and dip into a great list of Irish drafts and international bottled brews. Or head to the narrow room next door where the regular Long Table Series – beer and dinner for under $15 – has become a runaway success. A great spot for charcuterie plates or hearty, homemade fare like bangers and mash or steak and Guinness pie.
