When one plans a social occasion at the local distillery, it’s usually an evening visit one has in mind. Whiskies and other spirits are of course enjoyed best after dark. But waiting for the sun to set before finding your way to the Distillery Bar + Kitchen in Yaletown will leave you missing out on one of the best brunch deals around. Friday to Sunday until 3 p.m., the entire breakfast menu is 10 bucks even, and these are hearty plates.

A Margherita Scramble, meatball hash, and gorgonzola omelette are just three of your options. I’ll also recommend inquiring about the “hangover cure”, which sneaks a shot of straight vodka into that $10 price tag. Alternatives for a morning pick-me-up include the affiliated Yaletown Distilling Company’s own vodka and gin (brewed in-house), caesars and bloody marys for $5 each, or my personal favourite, $10 “bottomless” mimosas. Ask to dine in the lounge for more intimate décor with a slightly Prohibition-era vibe to match your cocktail.
