Restaurant
Irish Heather
October 9, 2009
Fear not, Heather lovers, the new Irish Heather is much improved from the last (which shut down this summer after 12 years) and located just across the street. It has retained its Old World charm while adding everything it was missing (like electrical outlets and air conditioning). Old Gastown brick lines one side of the elongated room, while hammered copper and Vancouver’s only standup bar line the other. Silver chairs sit on hardwood floors made from old Guinness vats, and vintage Irish posters bring splashes of colour. Chef Lee Humphries (who studied under Ramsay) has brought the menu into authentic gastropub territory, with steak and Guinness pot pies and juicy bangers. Too many beers and whiskeys to count.
