The Clough Club's craft cocktail list is dark-spirit forward, with a focus on house made barrel-aged recipes served up by some of Vancouver's finest cocktailers. Carefully selected beer and BC and Chilean wines round out the menu, while the food is authentic South American tapas, using locally sourced and organic ingredients.

Want a tale with your tipple? Named for John Clough, the last of Gastown’s lamplighters, this dark, moody room serves up equally dark cocktails. Legend has it Clough was one-armed; in the unlikely event those barrel-aged, spirit-forward drinks aren’t bold enough for you, the eerily unattached arm on full display just might be.
With leather upholstery, Chesterfield-style dark corners and a masculine, refined aesthetic, the Clough Club already feels like a British gentlemen’s club. Their renowned bartenders are a dab hand with both common and exotic spirits. While a Pimm’s Cup isn’t on the club’s official summer menu, rumor has it that you can receive one with all the trimmings (fruit and citrus), shaken to perfection, by asking – politely, of course.
Put a little glitz in your night out and order up a signature pineapple cocktail at the Clough Club. Served in gilded copper pineapple tumblers, these upscale sippers make for a perfect photo op. Drinks feature a base of premium Absolut Elyx vodka (a smooth, highly refined spirit with subtle notes of vanilla and pepper) and are available two ways: option one is a zesty blend of crushed ice, lime juice, lychee, Greek yogurt, kaffir lime leaf, hellfire bitters and cava; while option number two is made with Cointreau, Peychauds’ bitters, sugar and Fat Tug IPA.
