JINX Spooky Speakeasy Pop-Up at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

Posted by cassandra on

JINX blends gothic glamour with speakeasy mystique beneath the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

This fall, the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver invites guests to step into the shadows and discover JINX — a hauntingly glamorous pop-up bar tucked beneath the hotel’s storied walls. Running until November 8, 2025, this limited-time experience blends gothic allure with speakeasy mystique, transforming the lower lobby into a world of candlelight, alchemy, and enchantment.
The Mood: Gothic Glamour Meets Apothecary Chic
Designed to evoke a forgotten apothecary, JINX is adorned with curios, smoky aromatics, dried herbs, and an amber glow that instantly transports you. Every inch is photo-worthy — think Van Helsing meets velvet lounge. If you loved Fairmont’s immersive seasonal concepts (like the Haunted Cellar Afternoon Tea), this bar pop-up raises the stakes. Wednesdays feature complimentary tarot card readings for loyalty members, adding a supernatural twist to your midweek outing.

Potions, Elixirs & Small Plates

JINX’s cocktail list is pure theatre. Each drink arrives like a potion — smoky, botanical, and dangerously drinkable. Highlights include:

  • The Locked Room — gin, jasmine, absinthe mist
  • Grave Garden — vodka, herbal liqueur, cucumber, smoke
  • The Ozian Forest — tequila, citrus, green chartreuse, rosemary

The small-plate menu complements the drinks beautifully: warm olives, shishito peppers, and truffle fries, plus a standout duck slider with confit duck schnitzel, beet ketchup, onion jam, pickle, and a moody charcoal bun.
