the Irish Heather
212 Carrall Street.
Good for drinks. Has a whiskey bar in the back called Shebeen, and a long table cafe open in the day (and some nights for the long table series) called The Salty Tongue. Also affiliated with the Salt Tasting Room down the block located in Blood Alley.

Salt Tasting Room
45 Blood Alley.
Salt can be difficult to find: Blood Alley runs east-west, and Salt is located between Abbott Street and Carrall Street. You can't see it from the street -- you have to walk down the alley a ways until it becomes visible. (It's around the corner from Six Acres).
Salt is great for cheese plates, meats, wine, dessert ...
a cute narrow wood and brick room.

the Greedy Pig
gastown gets busy especially on fridays and saturdays, but i find The Greedy Pig works out well when six acres and irish heather are full-up.
