Blue Water Cafe Celebrates

Following their successes in Vancouver Magazine’s 19th Annual Restaurant Awards Competition, TopTable Restaurant Group invited guests to two post-service celebrations, honouring West’s fourth consecutive win as ‘Restaurant of the Year’ and Blue Water Café’s inaugural GOLD for Best Seafood, as well as Frank Pabst’s ‘Chef of the Year’ title from the Georgia Straight’s Golden Plate Awards.

We missed the packed house at West on Friday night but were able to make it to Blue Water Café on Saturday night to congratulate Chef Pabst, enjoy the free-flowing Champagne, canapés and sushi, and to enjoy superb company. Miraculously, no massive headache in the morning, either.

On Friday, we went out to the ‘burbs to check out the PreTTy BoY Entertainment and RocKStaR Energy Drink collaboration on the XXX Rockstar Sex Party at the Standard.

Needless to say, with Porn Stars Kyla Ryder and Olivia Love instigating trouble and pretty much everyone dressed up in a way to leave little to the imagination, one can only ask, “do they party like this in New West every week?”

We’ll leave it at that. You can check out the full set of photos on flickr, HERE.

Staff dressed in 1920’s costume indicative of the time when the Lamplighter initially opened and the Burlesque Beauties set the scene for a party that wasn’t to be missed. The Lamplighter’s, cool, clean aesthetic is definitely a welcome addition to the now-budding Gastown area.
