Bar Tartare — Bar Review
Vancouver's love of natural wine continues to swell, and Bar Tartare is leading the charge. Occupying the Gastown cafe Birds & the Beets come evening, Bar Tartare sees the room get darker and moodier, with colorful orb lighting giving off a hushed, intimate glow that washes over the exposed brick walls. In the summer, the expansive patio is one of the neighborhood's best, with casual picnic table-style seating encouraging new connections. The ever-changing list of natural wines is exciting and surprising, with bottles sourced from within British Columbia as well as abroad. The affable staff members are always ready with suggestions for connoisseurs and newbies alike, offering cheeky samples before pouring full glasses. For food, Bar Tartare invites rotating chefs to pop up for limited-time menus, which means that no two visits will ever be the same.
