"text": "Cool little distillery in North Vancouver with a very generous happy hour menu for you to try cocktails.\n\nTheir cocktails are very delicious and alcohol forward, definitely showcases their distillery.\n\nThey’re also a storefront, so you can just drop by and grab some bottles and leave. They do limited releases, which get very popular. Haven’t had the chance to get my hands on one yet.\n\nWill definitely come by again when in the area. Cool small spot with good drinks, can’t go wrong with that!",

"text": "Sons of Vancouver is hands-down one of the best distilleries I’ve ever visited! This place is a gem, blending a laid-back vibe with seriously impressive craftsmanship. Every spirit they produce is crafted with attention to detail and unique character, but their innovative approach to whiskey and liqueurs is what truly sets them apart.\n\nTheir whiskey releases, like the legendary ‘Last Call at the Dive Bar,’ are a must-try—each sip is a journey of complex, layered flavors that can rival any top-shelf spirit. And their Amaretto? Absolutely incredible. It’s smooth, rich, and perfect whether you’re sipping it neat or mixing it into cocktails.\n\nThe staff at Sons of Vancouver are knowledgeable, passionate, and always eager to share their process and recommendations, making every visit a warm and inviting experience. If you’re a fan of craft spirits or just want to try something new, Sons of Vancouver is a place you don’t want to miss. Highly recommend stopping by for a tasting or grabbing a bottle to bring home!",

"text": "This place has made me fall in love with high end spirits/cocktails! The outdoor area is pet friendly, the staff is super knowledgeable (and owners) and the drinks are made to perfection. I also love that they have a slush option and change up the flavours. Emmett was funny and educated us on the drinks, which made our experience really enjoyable. We live down the street and look forward to coming back again and again. This is a wonderful little spot and is a quality distillery serving quality cocktails. I highly recommend this place for everyone to come and taste the difference for yourself!",

Anyways, this is absolutely, without a doubt, the best place for a cocktail not just in North Vancouver but anywhere in greater Vancouver. If you are anywhere near here and like to drink a cocktail, I strongly recommend you swing by for a drink. You will not regret it.",
