The Whip Gallery Cafe

[Keeper]

Location: 209 East 6th, Vancouver

Drinks: Unnecessarily expensive; micro-brewed and poor quality (e.g. Wine upwards of $8 per glass; bottle of Corona for $6; micro-brew sleeve for $4 which turned out as crap).

Food: Utterly fantastic . . . well, at least what I had. "C.S.P.S.", they called it -- short for Cajun Salmon Papaya Sandwich. Fukcing incredible. For a reasonable $9, you get a great cajun salmon burger on focacia bread, lettuce, tomato, and papaya salsa. Chips & salsa and salad on the side.

Go for dinner, but drink elsewhere.

Bang on....

My thoughts exactly on the whip. Been there a couple times after work with the boys. The food was great but that micro-brew they are trying to pass off as beer is terrible. Dinner at the whip, pints at the cambie.......Out.....

footnote to the Whip ...

I was told Art Bergman used to live in a flat above the Whip. Not sure if he still lives there, or if he's still living at all

Good place.

Art for art's sake......

Art Bergman used to spend many days sleeping outside my window on Jervis Street just off Davie. He must've been very tired back then. Either that or the impressive amount of heroin he was doing had something to do with it. I think it was just fatigue, however, being a local Vancouver rock idol must be a tiring process. I know I'm tired of them all.

The sandwiches at The Whip sound great.
