Caesar sips from: The Score on Davie, Arbutus Club & The Fish Shack
This Thursday, Canadians will toast to Canada’s “official” cocktail for the first-ever National Caesar Day on May 14th! In addition to maple syrup and poutine, we can proudly boast that this delicious and refreshing beverage is far better than its American equivalent, the Bloody Mary. Somehow, this strange yet delicious combination of Clamato juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire, and vodka make an acceptable drink to consume at brunch (or anytime really!)
Restaurants and bars have really stepped up their Caesar game with creative variations instead of the ol’ celery stick, including bacon-infused vodka, prawns, spicy beans, and beef jerky. However, my all time favourite – The Score on Davie’s “Grilled Chaesar” complete with a grilled cheese sandwich, onion rings, and deep fried pickle!
Since National Caesar Day falls on a Thursday and unlike a national holiday, most of us will still have to go to work, hese are a few of my favourite apres-work Vancouver restaurants to grab a Caesar:
- The Fish Shack – including their fleet of 4 Caesars, with garnishes ranging from prawn skewers to seared scallops
- Rodney’s Oyster House – their Zydeco Stew original Caesar comes with plenty of horseradish and has a kick!
- Score on Davie’s – for those really wanting to celebrate National Caesar Day, celebrate with their $60 “Checkmate” drink complete with a roasted chicken, Score burger, pulled pork sriracha glazed slider, onion rings, chicken wings, a pulled pork mac & cheese hotdog and a brownie for dessert.
Cheers!

Cheers to you, Vancouver!
