Copperpenny Distilling Co. reimagines the art of distillation with its award-winning, small-batch spirits that celebrate Canadian terroir. Nestled in North Vancouver’s Brewery District, this innovative distillery is renowned for its groundbreaking creations, such as the world’s first Oyster Shell Gin, which captures the brininess of the ocean and the Earthiness of BC’s landscape. Whether it’s their refined Social Gin, smooth No. 002 Vodka, or Scandinavian-inspired Akvavit, Copperpenny’s offerings are crafted to inspire memorable cocktail experiences. Pair this with a visit to their immersive tasting lounge, where masterful mixology meets live music and local flair, making it a must-visit for any spirit enthusiast.
Copperpenny Distilling Co. offers unique cocktails and gin made from their own distilleries, with creative and well-sized drinks. The establishment has a special charm, with an event space and patio perfect for social gatherings, but may require some improvement in service to match its upscale atmosphere.
The cocktails and gin here are on the pricier side for the area, with cocktails around $20 and bottles of gin starting at $65 before tax. That said, it’s a fantastic addition to Lower Lonsdale, which has plenty of breweries but nothing quite like this. I’m a big fan of their oyster events with Fanny Bay and wish they happened more regularly. They also have a large event space next door that currently feels underutilized, but it has a lot of potential. It would be great to see it turned into a unique venue, as there’s not much like it around, except perhaps North Point’s rentable upstairs area. All in all, it’s worth a visit! Just keep in mind that you probably won’t be ordering rounds of drinks given the pricing. The cocktails are creative and well-sized, though. Excited to see what they do next and hoping for more places like this to open in Lower Lonsdale.
Copperpenny Distilling Co. offers a range of amenities including dine-in and takeout options, accepts major credit and debit cards, has wheelchair-accessible facilities, and parking options for both paid lots and free street spaces. Delivery services may also be available upon request.

"text": "Fabulous cocktails with their own distilled spirits! Had their seasonal special, the Milk Punch Martini - oh my... Don't let the name distract you, it is AMAZING! And we left with a bottle of Figgy Pudding Liquor - must have!! They have a few snacks too, the Duck Rillettes (duck Pate) is my fave! Not your average night out but plan for it, worth it!!!",

"text": "Awesome place to enjoy a good cocktail on the North Shore! We've visited many times, and during the summer, they have a lovely small patio that's perfect for enjoying drinks with your furry friend. However, our last visit fell a bit short. It seems that there have been some changes in the front-of-house staff since our previous visits. My friend wasn't sure what to order and asked a few questions, only to be told, 'To be honest, I haven't tried any of these drinks.' This is definitely not the response you want to hear when you're paying $20 for a cocktail. It's important for staff to have a good understanding of the menu so they can make recommendations and enhance the experience. I hope they can improve in this area moving forward.",
