Day 8 of the Drink Guy’s Advent: Barware and Drinkware from Attic Treasures

If you’re in Vancouver and love all things vintage, chances are you’ve already fallen in love with Attic Treasures. It’s one of our favourite spots for uncovering mid-century modern, retro, and vintage gems. From glassware to décor, it’s a haven for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

On my most recent treasure hunt, I unearthed a few fabulous finds perfect for the ultimate beverage host—or anyone looking to elevate their cocktail game. Here’s what I discovered:

1. Thermal Jugs

These beauties, retired from the Four Seasons, are ready for a second act. They’re perfect for keeping your hot drinks toasty during chilly winter evenings, whether you’re serving mulled wine, spiked cider, or a classic Irish coffee.

2. Festive Rocks Tumblers and Glass Ice Pot

This stunning set features rocks glasses and a matching ice pot, all adorned with a red band and gold stars. It’s the perfect blend of festive and timeless, ready to dazzle your guests during the holidays and beyond.

3. Chrome Ice Bucket

Straight out of a 1960s Vegas lounge, this chrome ice bucket steals the show with its four-pointed star handle, ridged sides, and what I suspect is a Bakelite base. It’s equal parts functional and fabulous.

4. Danish Modern Lazy Susan

For the host who loves both style and practicality, this chrome lazy Susan with sleek cellulose handles is ideal for serving up canapés or small bites. It’s the ultimate pairing for an evening of cocktails and conversation.

Prices at Attic Treasures are wonderfully budget-friendly, so whether you’re a seasoned collector or a casual browser, it’s worth stopping by.

Happy hunting—and happy hosting!
