Few things say summer like a refreshing gin and tonic and a good Happy Hour menu – and Vancouver has just the place for that.

Meet your new favourite watering hole – Copper Chimney, located at the Executive Hotel Le Soleil downtown, this place is the real deal.

It’s true, where in Vancouver can you find delicious Happy Hour bites that won’t break the bank? We’re talking about Coconut Spiced Prawns for only $7 or Butter Chicken poutine for $5 – Butter. Chicken. Poutine. This is not a drill people.

If that isn’t enough to tempt you, Happy Hour drinks include Pints of Draft for only $4, Glasses of House Wine for $6 and their Cocktail of the Day, also $6.

Want more? Their Gin Bar boasts an impressive list of local and international brands such a Hendrick’s Tanqueray, Long Table, Central City and others. You can’t really call yourself a gin man/woman without being here first.

Last word: the food here is GOOD. The prices are more than reasonable and the ambiance is pleasant. This menu is a Vancouver secret gem that won’t stay secret for long.
