The Christmas chaos is behind us and Boxing Day is over, but the gravity of the New Year has yet to hit. Use this time of flux to connect with friends. It's still pre-resolution time, so extending the holiday cheer with libations is fair game – it's even encouraged!
There are a whack of new addresses to check out if you're looking for somewhere to squeeze in that last boozy meet-up of 2023. None of these establishments were open last year at this time, and all are solid choices for a quality glass of something tasty. Did we miss something good? Let us know via @scoutmagazine. But for now, from our glass to yours… cheers!
Image via Ama One of the most interesting concepts to open in a little while, Ama (brought to us by the capable and affable crew behind Loula's and Nammos) 'blurs the lines between reality & fantasy' via cocktails and a tranquil depths-of-the-sea atmosphere. Plus, they are open late (1am). Try: Black Manhattan – a cult classic with a twist of modern funk, and bold Ama finesse.
Photo credit: Scout Magazine Doors JUST opened at this Miami-themed bar and performance venue. Look for the side door tucked next to Havana on Commercial Drive, and follow the pink-painted staircase to a subterranean oasis where a solid selection of inventive rum-centric cocktails do their best to complete the transportive experience. Try: Kil-Divil: Mount Gay rum, Xila, house allspice dram, carrot juice, tamarind, lemon, vegan foamer.

Hit them up early (between 4-5pm) to score one of six seats along the kitchen-facing bar for their aperitivo menu: glasses for $9, a half carafe for $25, amaro or vermouth spritzes for $10, and $10 off of all bottles.

We won't even try to suggest what you drink here – just let the Tartare crew set you up with something that suits your mood in the moment.
Bar Tartare 54 Alexander Street MAP
Photo credit: Scout Magazine There is definitely a lot of good food going on at Bar Haifa, but this team also knows how to mix a good drink (and they have strong opinions about music, as well). Try: Of Corsican – gin, amaro, elderflower and lemon.
Bar Haifa 400 West Georgia MAP
Photo credit: Joshua James via Bar Bravo This new seafood-forward restaurant isn't strictly a 'bar', but they do have ample bar seating…and they know what's up when it comes to cocktails. Try: Three Amigos – El Jimador reposado, Bruxo X mezcal, orange curaçao, lime, egg white.
Bar Bravo 4194 Fraser St. MAP
Photo Credit: Chelsea Brown via The Watson New to the Main Street scene since the summer, The Watson is a comfortable room with 75 seats spread between the main floor and mezzanine. Every seat in the house is good, but the bar is where it's at. Try: Red Dress (milk punch clarification, buffalo trace, calvados, apple cordial, lemon, red wine).
The Watson 3080 Main St. MAP
Photo credit: Scout Magazine The reincarnation of this famous Blood Alley wine bar now lives in Chinatown. The wine starts pouring at 5pm, or order outside of the box and sip on one of their trio of cocktails. Try: A Glass of any of their fine pours of wine paired with some salty Portuguese sardines or a Driftwood Breeze (Driftwood gin, Amaro Montenegro, passion fruit juice, lemon juice, dehydrated grapefruit).
Salt Tasting Room (Moved) 227 E Pender St. MAP
Photo via Arcana Gimmicky, yes. But lean into it and have some fun. Try: The Wheel of Fortune – spin the wheel twice: the first selects a spirit, the second the style.

Amos adds that with the work of Indigenous Tourism B.C., they aim to have visitors not only think of B.C. For its natural beauty, but also to include an authentic Aboriginal experience.
"That's part of why I love the industry is because we do get this opportunity on the world stage to educate the world about who Indigenous people are," she said.
Kwatuuma Cole Sayers of Hupačasath was appointed interim executive director for Clean Energy BC in 2022. He shared with Ha-Shilth-Sa that his biggest achievement is serving communities with his role in the transition to clean energy.
"I think that our momentum is building so I just feel really excited that I can play one small part in that," said Sayers, who advocates for environmentally responsible and cost effective energy technologies, in partnership with communities across the province.

"We need to move away from fossil fuels and move towards cleaner electricity, as one," said Sayers. "It is a great way to drive down our emissions."
Sayers shared that Hupačasath was one of the first to identify the economic development opportunities in clean energy at China Creek.
Within 20 years of operating, the organization now has biomass, solar, wind, storage and non-storage hydro projects, among others, across the province.
"We have an opportunity for First Nations to be part of that solution so that we can continue to have clean electricity, we can bring economic opportunities and benefits to our communities… so that we can take climate action so that we can meet our climate targets while also advancing reconciliation with First Nations," said Sayers.

"Our work is generational," he added. "We can try our best to follow the people before us, and I think the generation that's coming up is going to play a very important role as we get closer to 2050."
"We're at an exciting time… as Indigenous people, to create this change and be part of the change for the future," said Amos. "This work has provided me such a great opportunity to make a difference and be the difference that's happening."
