The Irish Heather

If you're here for whisk(e)y – either neat or as part of amazing cocktails – then be sure to head out back to the hidden Shebeen bar . Ask for Randy. (see my separate tip on Shebeen 's page)

The ideal combination of Anglo-Irish pub-grub and vibe with locally-sourced and lovingly prepared B.C. ingredients. The bangers and mash are excellent, nothing beats the pies . [Eater 38 Member]

Ask for a recommendation based on your tastes. They're pretty good at accommodating.

Bit upscale for an Irish Pub in my book but the whiskey selection is excellent.

Great whiskey selection , and the bangers and mash was delicious I!

Good brew - amazing food. If you are looking for a traditional Guinness or Irish breakfast on the weekend, this is your place.

Good irish food . Solid drink selection. Way more of a sit down place than its next door neighbor.

mash is my fave - save the fries for the curry dip they serve here too. The bangers & mash and fish & chips are awesome as well . Unmatched scotch selection too. Love the Heathers

Whiskey selection is great!

Incredibly extensive whisk(e)y menu. If the front is busy, head to Shebeen in the back

Insane whiskey list and a perfect Guinness pour.

Nice pub . Best is gastown .

Their food is fancier than before. Kale caesar salad is surprisingly good!

Good whiskey selection and good food

Nice and not too expensive . Good if you're older than 30.

Great Guinness pint

Good place for drink different types of beer !

Stick with the beer or scotch here. Big thumbs down on the cocktails .

Good Irish pub but you really want to head to the Whiskey house in the back

Great Irish eats and European Beer . The atmosphere is nicely placed in Gastown - historic part of Vancouver. Read more

The sazerac is better in the Irish heather than in the shebeen

Have a guinness & ask why it's the best Guinness in town !

Try the Guinness - Can't go wrong with a pint of the black stuff!

Bucky is legendary. Pours a mean pint of black and tips the tyrconnell with precision.

Try the Croque Madame sandwich at lunch . Not heart smart but very tasty

Ask for the "classic" Heather Pot Pie which comes on a bed of mashed potatoes instead of fries and combine it with a Guinness .

Old fashion is quite strong!! A mans drink I tell ya!

Guinness with blackcurrent is yummy! Recommended from a friend!

Fantastic whiskey !

If insure of your choice of whiskey , ask for recommendations, they are excellent!

Go to the Heather. Have a pot pie , but be sure to order it with the fries , not the mashed potatoes . Wash down with a Guinness .

Scotch . Get it.

This is excellent beer !

The charcuterie plates are really not worth the price

Long table series - pay with your iPhone, it's the coolest! Ask them how?

I've been here for the long table series , fantastic time!

Where are the pies ?!?!?!?! ????

You need a reservation on a Saturday night? Really?

Absolute Best Pint of Guinness in Vancouver. No doubt.

Why are you checking in here? You should be at Shebeen (at the same address) instead.

Servers were really nice, but the service of food and beer was painfully slow. The Heather Fries with Curry was okay, but the Bangers and mashpotatoes did not please me.

The terrine is really really really good!

Fries are really crispy but comes with curry . It would have been better with gravy . Service very slow. Pot pie is only ok.

Book a Long Table Series dinner in October before they all sell out!

Shepherds pie special is the best!

Servers are not the smartest. Not to be a dick, but yeah.

Slow service tonight... Give lots of notice...

Don't get the pasta unless you've brought your own pasta sauce.

book at dinner at Long Table Series .
