BAR | RESTAURANT | CLUB DOWNTOWN
Father’s Office Downtown is our 2nd location from our Father’s Office
concept. Our original location on Little Lonsdale St.

Father’s Office is based on prohibition Americana in the 1920’s,
when the consumption of alcohol was disallowed. Speakeasies became
the place to be and underground bootleg liquor (and the debauchery that
follows) thrived.

Expect a sprawling 350-person late night venue serving Father’s Office
all-Americana cuisine that has been loved by so many.

Head downstairs to party the night away where you can mingle late into
the night with a cocktail in hand. With a 7am Liquor License, you can
party your weekends away!

    Everything was great. We'll be back. The music taste and volume left something to be desired however. That said, it wasn't enough to spoil our evening and we still had a great time. Thank you!

    Went with some friends one Saturday night and was treated to the best service. The staff were excellent, made our evening so enjoyable. Had the ribs and they were delicious. All the food was great . They have a great range of cocktails to choose from too. Had a table downstairs and loved the atmosphere, the music, the whole vibe of the place. Will definitely be going back.

    The team at father’s office was so accomodating from the moment we stepped foot in. We were stuck in traffic so came late & they still let us sit our whole bottomless session. The bartenders were also super quick with service.
