Mates on Crates: feat. Leticia Castro
G'day
Those in the know, know where to go.
Today we released our latest episode of Mates on Crates featuring my mate, Leticia Castro, GM at June. Leticia brings together an A-list team with deep roots in Vancouver's hospitality scene, including talent from beloved spots like The Keefer Bar and Grapes and Soda. June, located on Cambie Street, blends approachable sophistication with a vibrant, French-brasserie inspired menu and dynamic cocktail program. It was a pleasure chatting with Leticia and hearing about June and favourite spots—check out the episode below.
