We are delighted to be working with Sean Heather and his crew at the Heather Hospitality Group this season. Sean is a Firehall patron and big supporter of the arts and local community events. He opened his first pub, the Irish Heather, back in 1997 and now runs a series of successful bars and restaurants in downtown Vancouver. Look out for Heather Hospitality’s delicious catering at opening nights throughout our upcoming season. Plus, if you fancy a pre-theatre dinner or an after show drink, they’ll be offering 10% off food items to Firehall ticket buyers before your show and $5 Irish Coffee and Irish Whiskey as post show nightcap. Heather restaurants close to the theatre are The Irish Heather (a traditional Irish pub with hearty gastropub faire), Salt Tasting Room (an excellent curated wine list & tasting plates) & Bitter Tasting Room (an intimate bar with an unrivaled craft beer selection). See below for details. Note, all restaurants take reservations and you just need to show your ticket or will call confirmation to get the discount.

This happens to be one of the few Irish pubs in Vancouver proudly owned and operated by Irish people! They serve up all the traditional Irish staples: a properly-poured pint of Guinness, bangers & mash, pot pies, and chips with curry sauce. Since opening in 1997, this restaurant has become wildly popular, and has since become the very successful Heather Hospitality Group. A great place to sit and enjoy some honest-to-goodness comfort food.
