LIFT Bar Grill View

What LIFT Bar Grill View does

LIFT Bar Grill View is a single-location, privately held waterfront restaurant operating from 333 Menchions Mews in Coal Harbour, Vancouver, British Columbia, founded in 2005 and run by Proprietor Bob Lindsay with a team of approximately 25 employees. The venue operates four day-parts — weekend brunch (Saturday and Sunday 11am–2:30pm), weekday lunch (Monday to Friday 11:30am–3pm), daily dinner (from 5pm), and daily happy hour (3pm–5:30pm) — serving regionally sourced West Coast cuisine under Executive Chef Chris Andraza, alongside a beverage program spanning cocktails, an extensive whiskey list, an award-winning wine list spotlighting BC and Pacific Northwest producers, and craft beer. The venue's defining physical asset is described as Vancouver's only waterfront rooftop deck, offering views of the harbour, Stanley Park, and the coastal mountains.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer business model with no intermediaries in the food-and-beverage value chain. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) à la carte restaurant sales via OpenTable reservations and walk-ins, priced as unit-based pay-as-you-go with a 15% Honey-Onyx Bar discount from 5:30pm daily and a 20% service fee on parties of eight or more; (2) private event services for corporate groups, weddings, and parties, structured under an Exclusive Use Program that supports up to 100 seated or 200 cocktail guests with 50% deposits and minimum-spend requirements; and (3) gift cards sold online via BuyATab, in-restaurant, and by phone. Marketing is handled by Gled Media with copywriting by Joyride Branding, and customer acquisition relies on the company website, Instagram, Facebook, email newsletter, and OpenTable. No institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, patents, certifications, or public-company status are disclosed.
