Must see Vancouver speakeasies - Chinatown's hidden bar tour
Want to know a secret?
When that fiasco called prohibition started, people had to hide when they wanted a drink and from the sounds of it they wanted to drink ... a LOT!
Serving as a concealed way to do so, meeting places were created.
To get into these hideouts, passwords or special knocks were needed to open the secret doors.
Today, the Speakeasy has made a resurgence for a much more enjoyable reason. They are still somewhat hidden in plain sight. They still require a codeword or perhaps an identified object to gain entrance.
Speakeasies in Vancouver are far more than just hidden bars, many are simply an interesting addition to exceptional highly recommended dining options. Partnerships between chefs and mixologists fill this neighbourhood.
