“Blush” Pop-up Bar at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

Posted in Bar, Downtown Vancouver, Drinks, Hang-Out with Friends, Hotel Dining, Joyce, Lounge, News, Pop-up, Restaurants, Valentine's Day, Vancouver, tagged , , , , , , , , , on February 19, 2024| Leave a Comment »

This year’s Valetine’s and Galetine’s Day may be behind us, but we don’t stop celebrating love. Bring your gals, pals and valentine to this pop-up bar at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. It’s called “Blush” and it’s only open Tuesdays to Saturdays until February 29. It’s a collaboration between Fairmont Hotel Vancouver and Saintly Wine. It’s pink and so cute, and you can order fun, romance-themed cocktails like Passion Potion and Love Letter, or mini bottles of Saintly sparkling brut and rosé. They also have nibbles and desserts like Gochujang Chicken Tenders, Fresh Oysters, Tuna Tataki, Charcuterie and Cheesecakes.

I’m quite in awe of how Fairmont Vancouver is transforming this space on the lower level for different pop-ups. First, it was Kringle’s for Christmas, and now Blush for Valetine’s Day. Make sure to look for the pink photo booth at the entrance. Will you check it out?

Disclosure: I was invited to a media preview event.

Last weekend, winners of the 2023 BC Beer Awards were named at the Croatian Cultural Centre. The judges evaluated 925 entries to select the winners in 29 categories. I was invited to attend the ceremony and was excited to celebrate with the breweries and other beer lovers.

Saturday’s ceremony also included a beer festival. In the past, they had breweries setting up booths and pouring samples of their beers. Since last year, they have changed the format so there were only a few beer stations serving beer in cans, and the industry folks can focus on reconnecting and celebrating with each other.
