Demonstrate your freshly fermented wisdom at monthly Connoisseur’s Club wine and spirit tastings, which deliver more than 300 wines from 45 regions to your refined palate.

the Charlatan
1447 Commercial Dr., Vancouver, British Columbia
http://www.thecharlatanrestaurant.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of gastro-pub fare at the Charlatan on Commercial Drive.

The Charlatan’s rich, mahogany ambience complements the smoky, mesquite flavours and applewood-scented entrees that make this local pub one to top the to-do list. Hearty menu items such as the house-pulled pork ($14) assuages whiny bellies, while the chicken pot pie ($13) and mom’s meatloaf ($13) satisfy a deeply rooted down-home hunger pangs. Fifteen beers on tap, 12 wines by the glass, and a creative cocktail list cure a homesick soul in one sip, whereas drinking the 911 wing sauce is not recommended unless you’ve gone and frozen your teeth to the flagpole again.

Reviews
The Charlatan has a mention in Vancouver magazine, a 3.5-star average from Yelpers, and an average of 3.5 owl eyes from three TripAdvisors

Opt for a session of deep-tissue massage that will reunite necks, shoulders, and backs with a sense of bliss long displaced by daily stressors, or choose to pamper leg stems instead with a targeted foot reflexology session intended to reduce fatigue and boost the immune system. Both choices come with a dip in an herbal and crystal mud footbath that cleanses while comforting weary toes with positive affirmations and squishy hugs.

Customers purchasing two Groupons can redeem them in one visit for both a deep-tissue massage and foot reflexology session, plus a 30-minute foot bath.

Today’s Groupon gives art lovers, photography lovers, and lover lovers alike a reason to celebrate: for $69, you get a 16”x20” gallery-wrapped canvas plus shipping from 44 Wide (a $213 value, including tax and shipping).

The boutique print company was founded by a father-and-son duo and provides top-quality, large-format prints for both pro photographers and first-time film snappers alike. Your Groupon is good for a 16”x20” wrapped canvas—a blown-up, retouched, and fully edited photograph of your choice, artfully applied to the large canvas for ease of wall-hanging. The process begins by uploading a favourite photo of a photogenic French bulldog or your parole-board hearing directly to the company’s website. Canvases are all coated with a state-of-the-art protective shield, so splatters of water, chardonnay, and liquid lipgloss can simply be smudged off the portrait with a damp cloth without doing damage to the canvas.

Prints are produced with the help of top-quality equipment in 44 Wide’s sleek and sophisticated gallery, and your Groupon includes free shipping of the finished canvas. So take this opportunity to cover a shamefully naked wall space with a crisp and clean customized canvas, or gift this Groupon to a couple of newlyweds still smugly flipping through their wedding book at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

http://www.therefineryvancouver.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of alcohol-infused fare and cocktails at Sip Resto-Lounge on Granville Street.

A self-dubbed “resto-lounge,” Sip fuses the best of both worlds as a classy, upscale eatery that transforms into a sleek urban nightspot after 10 p.m. Even the culinary creations are inspired by cocktail concoctions, as each dish on the menu is marinated, flambéed, drizzled, or smacked in the forehead with booze, including the SoCo spicy chicken ($11), a crispy chicken breast slathered with a Southern Comfort chili sauce. Guests who snag a seat at the open-kitchen bar are granted a front-row view of comestible courtship rituals, as various liquors, wines, and beers butt heads to win the hands of edible ingredients. Select a specialty cocktail from the drink menu and swallow some liquid courage before treating your date to your blues rendition of “My Heart Will Go On.”

Reviews
Sip Resto-Lounge was featured on local blog Miss 604 and Nocturnal Vancouver. Yelpers give it a 3.5-star average, TripAdvisors give it an average of 3.5 owl eyes, and 67% of Urbanspooners recommend it.
