Commercial Drive Drinks Week

While the global cocktail elite gather in Vancouver for the 2025 edition of North America’s 50 Best Bars, Commercial Drive is stirring up its own celebration of creativity and community. From Friday, April 25 to Friday, May 2, four of the Drive’s standout bars are teaming up for a week-long collaborative menu series that spotlights the neighborhood’s vibrant bar scene.

In a spirited nod to the prestigious awards, the initiative brings together local favourites in creative pairings:

• Sopra Sotto x Nonna’s Cucina
• Loula’s x Bar Corso
• The Flamingo Room x La Mezcaleria
• Havana x Mum’s the Word

Each duo has developed exclusive, limited-edition cocktail menus that reflect the character of their collaboration and the cultural heart of Commercial Drive—equal parts playful, bold, and community-driven.

“While the spotlight shines on the city’s best, we’re showing that some of the most innovative, character-filled cocktails are being poured right here on the Drive,” says Alexa Greenman of The Flamingo Room & Havana. “No VIP wristbands required—just come thirsty.”

With 50 Best bringing global attention to Vancouver’s bar scene, the Commercial Drive community invites locals, visitors, and industry pros alike to explore the neighborhood’s own signature flavour of hospitality—one cocktail at a time.
