This Gastown stalwart serves traditional Irish fare along with Guinness on tap. The rustic brick atmosphere creates an ideal atmosphere to dig into its pub grub, including the trademark feature pot pie and bangers & mash. The sense of community is enhanced sitting at what might be the longest table in the city.

Happy hour drinks are available for $5. There's also a great selection of draught beers, as well as 20-ounce mixed beer drinks. But what really sets the Irish Heather apart is its extensive whisky list, which features dozens of options. In 2015, the Irish Heather launched Cask Nights offering sleeves for $6 of a featured beer producer every second Thursday through Sunday.

The sunrise salad, spinach salad, and lentil loaf make this a vegetarian-friendly pub. But for those not into vegan dining, there is no shortage of options on the menu, such as chicken liver paté and pork belly for starters. There's also a hearty bacon double cheeseburger, turkey meatloaf, and an apple barbecue pulled pork sandwich.
