Cult-favourite Vancouver chicken shop comes to Kitilsano's Batch for the summer
Kitsilano's pool concession Batch opened to the public as a seasonal pop-up in 2024. (Courtesy: City of Vancouver) Just one year into its existence and one of Vancouver's most popular summertime patios, Kitsilano's Batch, is already scheduled for an upgrade that will see an expansion of both its menu offerings and its capacity. To celebrate its first anniversary, the bar at the Kitsilano Pool concession is collaborating with cult-favourite chicken joint DownLow Chicken and growing to include 60 more seats. The expanded menu features various classics from the Commercial Drive chicken shop, including the Nashville-fried OG Sando and DL Tenders, alongside new editions specially curated for the location, including the Burrito on the DL, the SWagyu Dog, and the Kits All-Beef Burger. Batch opened as a seasonal pop-up bar in 2024 in partnership with the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, pairing live music with a drinks line-up comprising craft beers, wine and cider. 'We're excited to be partnering with the Park Board and the amazing Batch team, and to be joining them at such an iconic Vancouver location this summer: the famous Kitsilano Pool Concession,' said Doug Stephen, co-founder of DL Chicken. 'Kitsilano has always been a neighbourhood full of energy and great food culture. We can't wait to be part of that and bring the heat to the community with our fried chicken creations.' The concession, running from Tuesday to Friday from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. and across the weekend from 12 p.m. to 10 pm, will be ushered in just ahead of the grand opening of Kits Pool — scheduled for Saturday, June 21. Reservations open June 19 at noon. 'This partnership has been an incredible way to connect with the Kits community,' said John Negrin, owner of Batch. 'We've always believed that public spaces can — and should — be lively, welcoming places that bring people together. We're thrilled to partner with DownLow Chicken and continue our collaboration with the Vancouver Park Board as we grow into this epic location.'
