Blood Alley Square, Gastown
More infoGringo is tucked into cobblestoned Blood Alley Square in Gastown, where the cocktails arrive in brightly coloured sand buckets with actual plastic shovels and nobody keeps a straight face for long. The Mexi-Cali kitchen is the genuine draw: its double-crunch taco has reached menu-legend status. Order the bucket, use the shovel with total sincerity, and stay until the 2am close on weekends.
Deep in cobblestoned Blood Alley, order a cocktail bucket, yes, it comes in a sand bucket with a plastic shovel, and no, nobody keeps a straight face, and split a pile of the double-crunch tacos, a menu legend. It's loud, neon and gloriously unserious, the perfect antidote to a too-polite dinner. Open to 2am Friday and Saturday, so give it a punchy 100 minutes and make staying for one more round the easy call.
