Laowai
Laowai is a 1930s Shanghai-inspired speakeasy concealed behind the BLND TGER dumpling shop in Vancouver's Chinatown, entered via a secret code. The venue pairs theatrical cocktails with a compact menu of dumplings drawn from regional Chinese cuisines — Sichuan, Tibetan, Xinjiang, and more. It's a genuinely hidden-gem bar experience in one of Vancouver's most historically dense and walkable neighbourhoods.
