The Irish Heather

The Irish Heather is a Gastown pub with loads of Old World charm. They’ve perfected pub-style comfort food with their fish and chips and their flaky, bubbling pot-pies. And if you’ve been missing Mom’s homemade Sunday-night dinners, reserve a spot at their community long-table events for a filling meal of roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, potatoes and gravy.
