A Vietnamese tiki-inspired basement speakeasy in Calgary’s Chinatown is the bar concept we didn’t know we needed. Paper lanterns and paper umbrellas meet top-notch street fare, from bánh xèo to shaken beef. The palm trees are printed on the wallpaper, but authentic tropical flavours abound across the cocktail menu: the requisite Mai Tais and Daiquiris, sure, but also unexpected spins like the banana-infused bourbon Old Fashioned, a Pandan Pain Killer milk punch and the culinary-cocktail Cucumber Salad, a fluffy egg-white flip made with Szechuan pepper–infused gin, cucumber vodka, pineapple and cilantro oil.
