Bestie sausage and beer parlor

Bestie is a friendly little sausage parlour in the heart of Vancouver’s Chinatown. Inspired by German street food, Bestie serves up a selection of finely crafted sausages, hand cut fries, tasty side salads, fresh baked pretzels, and Chinatown’s finest currywurst. With a budget of just over $15,000, Vancouver-based Scott and Scott Architects designed and built Bestie, a 25-seat arrangement that draws on its owners' backgrounds in art and design for a clean, almost Scandinavian, interior.

The ability to accomodate events and a changing customer demographic were central in designing the space's furnishings. Unanchored tables and benches give McDougall and Brown the ability to rearrange for film screenings and communal dinners, while a beautiful leather, brass and wood hanging shelving system offers those in the kitchen efficient access to steins and tableware. The far wall accommodates a range of lighting options thanks to simple drilled holes and Mariner lights from Vancouver designer Zoe Garred. Further local touches include bar stools designed by Joji Fukushima and, of course, a stripped-down menu of locally-sourced ingredients. [1]
