​​🇨🇦 Vancouver's Chic Bistro & Bar Gem ✨ The Watson​​

📍 ​​The Watson​​ Main Street's hottest afternoon cocktail destination!! As the sister venue to Bartholomew, this spot delivers all the aesthetic vibes 📸✨ 📅 ​​Happy Hour Alert:​​ Mon-Fri 4-6PM | Sat-Sun 3-6PM Their cocktail menu is so reliable, you could literally close your eyes and point - guaranteed deliciousness!! 🍹😉 Originally planned to order the viral duck wings and beef (RIP to those menu items 😭), but our impromptu choices totally impressed: 🐙 ​​Grilled Octopus ($24) ⭐⭐⭐​​ Portion's petite but packed with flavor!! Sweet-marinated octopus meets tangy sauce with salty ham surprises 🍖 The texture was almost perfect - just needed another minute on the grill for that ideal tenderness. 🦐 ​​Grilled Prawns ($22) ⭐⭐⭐⭐​​ Only four shrimp, but each one was plump and fresh with that satisfying snap! 🍤 The light broth made it the ultimate cocktail pairing. 🍔 ​​The Watson Burger ($25) ⭐⭐⭐⭐​​ This monster burger comes with: ✅ Juicy beef patty ✅ Two thick slices of pork belly ✅ Pile of peppery arugula ✅ Crispy tater tots (the real star!!) Absolute hunger killer - share unless you're really committed! 🍸 ​​Watson Margarita ⭐⭐⭐⭐​​ My happy hour pick - perfect for sweet cocktail newbies like me! 🍹 Their bartenders are mixology wizards - next time I'm trying their entire cocktail list!! 💺 ​​Seating Tip:​​ The bar stools are cozy (read: slightly cramped). For the best experience, book the upstairs loft - better views + Instagram angles!! 📸✨ #vancouverbistro #cocktailhour #mainstreetvibes #dateideas #foodiefinds #mixologymagic #happylife #weekendvibes #vancouvereats #instaworthy
