Track Record
There’s a little bit of history to The Cascade Room: The
site at the bustling corner of Main and Broadway is along what
was once known as Brewery Creek and was home to the original Vancouver
Brewery. The brewery’s flagship ale was named Cascade. With
this in mind, the same quartet of owners who run the successful
Habit restaurant next door opened The Cascade Room in the fall
of 2007. Two members of the team also operate the interior design
firm Evoke, and naturally had a hand in creating the space’s
hip, lounge vibe. Sleek black booths, interesting lamps and mirrors
set against red wallpaper give the room an equally cool and cozy
feel. Drink
and be Indie
The Cascade Room can be a busy spot on the weekend and you may
have to wait a while at the bar, but that’s not such a
bad thing! From classic cocktails to contemporary creations,
they have something everyone. Focusing on timeless mixes, the
skilled bartenders pay homage to the golden age of the cocktail
with an extensive menu featuring more than 50 choices filed
under cleverly named categories. “Market Fresh”
choices include daiquiris and margaritas infused with fresh
fruit purees. On the “True American Players” team
you’ll find the best Manhattan outside of New York and
a little “Deeper South” you can taste — and
work on pronouncing — the “Sazerac.” If you’re
out to celebrate, there’s a host of options on the “Champagne
Supernova” list and for those simple soirees, you may
want to go for one of the “Old School Classics.”
It’s hard to find another place in the city that can make
a Moscow Mule like the master mixologists at Cascade.
Casual
Comfort Food
The fare at Cascade Room is simple but offers a stylish spin
on pub favourites. There are some great options for sharing
with friends, including spiced calamari, steamed mussels and
a selection of thin-crust pizzas. If you’re dining with
a bigger appetite, you can choose from deluxe pasta dishes made
with the finest local ingredients such as free-range chicken,
trap-caught prawns and mushrooms from fields within driving
distance. Finally, “Main Street” mains add a London
flavour with choices like lamb curry, meat loaf and halibut
and chips.
