Nothing beats the taste of a smooth, premium whisky. At Fets Whisky Kitchen, owners Eric and Allura Fergie are dedicated to offering the best whisky available worldwide: something that has impressed Vancouver’s premier whisky connoisseurs.
Eric has decades of experience in the industry, having founded Fets in 1986. As his restaurant gained a reputation for having exceptional whiskies and delicious food, Eric decided to expand, moving into his Commercial Drive location in the mid 1990s. In 2013, he officially rebranded his restaurant from a bar and grill to Fets Whisky Kitchen.
“We formed a partnership with the Scotch Malt Whisky Society – we were the 19th bar to do this worldwide,” says Eric. “With over 600 different kinds of whisky, we have something for everyone’s tastes. We’ve also launched a new whisky cocktail program with upgraded spirits. It’s been a big hit, and we’re very excited about it.”
Family owned and operated since 1986, Fets Whisky Kitchen on Commercial Drive has a uniquely down-home, Southern vibe, which is ideal for a relaxed night with close friends. In addition to serving dozens of whiskey and bourbon varieties, the bar also offers food that’s actually infused with the spirit. Pair your preferred liquor with an order of fried chicken with whisky gravy or an organic steak topped with bourbon butter.
If you enjoy a good whisky and soaking in the summer sun, then look no further than Fets. Known for having one of the city’s best selections of bourbon, it also has one of Commercial Drive’s best patios. Facing west, it gets full sun till late in the day and its location across from the Granview Park means there’s ample opportunity to watch the people milling around and to meet some new friends.
Aside from the impressive list of whiskies on offer, here you can also get your classic burger with deluxe ingredients or go for a slab of salmon with house-made tartar sauce between the tastiest of buns. Sub in the Forty Creek Whiskey barbecue sauce on the Stacked Texan and be sure to hydrate as soon as you arrive — salivating too much is no way to quench a thirst.
