Amy GraffNovember 10, 2014Found this dark, sexy apothecary-theme cocktail bar via NY Times. Drinks ("prescriptions") are potent and sorted by predominant flavor notes. Try rosemary gimlet, anything with that lapsang tincture.
Ashley MowreyJuly 25, 2016The bartenders are laid back, friendly, and have skills. Best gimlet I had in Vancouver. They have a unique drink list, tried a couple, definitely some flavor combos I've never tried. Left drunk 👍🏻
Eric TigreOctober 14, 2016Fall is here! Chase off the chill with a Dublin Pick-Me Up - an elixir concocted with Jameson, cold brew coffee, chrysanthemum and absinthe. Hang out here before you get called for a table at Bao Bei.
Aimee Leigh🌟February 14, 2014Small but cozy and chique. The Thursday night burlesque show is amazing! Definitely check it out. Also the Bloody Ming created by Vancouver's bartender of the year is a great twist on a Caesar!
Nathan WrightSeptember 22, 2015Enjoy a unique cocktail the Keefer's odd, dark atmosphere. You might be in a David Lynch film. Prices are high, but it's worth a visit for the experience.- Ross WSSeptember 5, 2016An apothecary theme takes in tinctures, bitters, syrups and teas within this dark, long, narrow, bar. Cocktails and dim sum in China Town. This bar, to say the least, is eclectic.
Brook ShelleyJune 8, 2016The Blood Moon is lovely! They've got a wonderful drink selection (both seasonal, and old favorites). Also the medical decor rules.
Erik GrayApril 12, 2023The atmosphere is dark and awesome. The bartenders are amazing. The food is fantastic.
- #1 Have the rosemary gimlet (I say no more, just order it). Then, for round 2 order the Corpse Reviver. Say it with a French accent if you want the real deal.
Tom CoatesAugust 11, 2018Very very good cocktails and a lovely environment with nice staff. The gimlet was particularly delicious.
Crystal PistolMarch 26, 2015We've ordered a Rosemary Gimlet and a Pagoda Soda. #delicious @keeferbar
Tina LuuFebruary 28, 2015My favourite cocktail bar in the city. The design of the place takes it to a whole another level.
Exceptional cocktails, try the the Great White Buffalo, tastes like Christmas dessert. Or the Dragon Fly with ginger lemon and sake- ManilDecember 24, 2014It was great last time I went here. Sat outside to enjoy the summer. Very good cocktails.
Great place to get a well-concocted beverage. Talk to the bartender and ask for their latest creations.

Sotheby's International Realty CanadaNovember 4, 2011The infamous penthouse above the Keefer bar (glass-bottomed pool and superfly rooftop deck and all) went on on the market for $3,999,000 in February 2011.- Try these two drinks to start off your night: the Keefer 75 and the Highland Wallbanger.
Cameron FallowOctober 31, 2013After nine the music is live and amazing, who doesn't love house music!

Christopher CairaMay 30, 2013Coffee porter beer wasn't very cold, but server brought a frosted glass when I mentioned it - way to turn a negative experience into a positive one!
Kate WebbAugust 23, 2010Milk & honey cocktail = delicious. Whiskey, sake, honey, rice milk, coconut milk, and a cinnamon stick.
Cassio DaCunhaJanuary 24, 2022Apparently it’s the second best cocktail bar in Canada. I can see why.
Bradley ShendeApril 22, 2011Keenan the barkeep makes a perfect classic Manhattan if you're interested.
