Restaurant Awards 2025, Editors’ Choice: Best After-Work Drinks

For the 2025 Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards, we continued our new tradition of Editors’ Choices: picks from our editorial team which highlight the rooms in the city that serve a specific purpose, in addition to having great food and service. 

Editors’ Choice: Best After-Work Drinks 

After-work drinks are a time-honoured tradition. And when we’re able to nab a table (or a coveted bar seat) at Como Taperia, it goes from “just” drinks to a moment worthy of everything from resetting a stressful day to a celebratory toast. Any one of the six G&Ts on the menu is an ideal way to say cheers to finishing a work project, but we’re also partial to the Spanish vermut on tap (which also has the effect of making you feel truly in-the-know about what’s “in” in the current beverage scene). Post-work drinks aren’t complete without an array of snacks, and from the rotating bar-side pintxos to the must-order fried eggplant with honey and rosemary, Como knocks it out of the park every single time.
