With an unusual atmosphere and an exciting menu of Mexican-inspired cocktails and share plates, Chupito, a seasonal patio bar/restaurant, has become a warm-weather Vancouver staple since opening in 2021.
The outdoor food and cocktail bar is located behind La Taqueria's original Hastings Street location and is accessible via an alley.
Born out of a pandemic-era push to create outdoor spaces, the venue quickly became a popular attraction, attracting the attention of the Michelin Guide and ranking as one of Vancouver's Bib Gourmand selections. 2022 and 2023.
Cocktails on the Chupito menu focus on Mexican flavors, local ingredients, and sustainability. Pairing the sophisticated drinks are shared plates featuring fresh seafood dishes, tacos, chips, and other Mexican favorites.
Chupito (322 W Hastings St) opens for the season in mid-May and is open daily from 5pm to 10pm, weather permitting.
Chupito is expected to move indoors later this year as La Taqueria vacates its restaurant space to relocate to 601 Hastings St. West. Chupito will remain there until the building is scheduled to be demolished for redevelopment.
