According to Jess Reno,\u00a0founder of Nemesis, Dope Bakehouse<\/a> and Bam Bam, the latter will pull from various things that the team and their guests love, with plenty of mouthwatering comfort food on the menu.<\/p>\n Daniel Chai\/Daily Hive<\/p>\n \u201cBam Bam has its own original take as well, with different approaches to food, drinks, late night, daytime, nostalgia, and coffee, of course,\u201d said Reno during a sneak peek at the 2,800 sq. ft. space at 160 West Georgia St.<\/p>\n \u201cA lot of it ties back to how we grew up and the simple things that we loved. That definitely shaped the menu. And we\u2019re using real quality ingredients. We\u2019re trying to be really thoughtful in what we put together here.\u201d<\/p>\n Fried chicken is one of the stars on Bam Bam\u2019s menu. Bring an appetite to chow down on sandwiches such as the Classic Rosemary and Nashville Hot Fried, as well as Popcorn Chicken served with house sauces like Smoked Gherkins and Cucumber Dill Ranch.<\/p>\n Daniel Chai\/Daily Hive<\/p>\n Guests will also discover an array of sweet treats, including housemade donuts that rotate daily, alongside house-baked pasty rolls in varieties like Honey Sea Salt, Garlic Knot, and Meyer Lemon.<\/p>\n Diners can choose from combos like The Bam Bam, which will feature a chicken sandwich, potato sticks, a donut, and a drink, as well as The AM Classic, which is available until noon and features a breakfast sandwich, potato sticks, and a drink.<\/p>\n Those looking for a drink to start their day\u2019s adventure or their next night out will enjoy trying selections like the Apple Pie & Rye, Strawberry Shiso Negroni, Pecan Pie Old Fashioned, and Hot Honey Margarita.<\/p>\n There will also be some cafe-style drinks to go with the comfort food, including a Cherry Matcha, Apple Pie Latte, Strawberry Chocolate Milk, and a range of cream sodas like Cherry Cola, Lemon Meringue, and Apple Pie.<\/p>\n Daniel Chai\/Daily Hive<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re just having fun with a bit of everything,\u201d explained Reno. \u201cBam Bam is us unpacking ideas that feel us distinctly. The space feels pretty damn original, and a lot of it pulls from childhood and nostalgia, reinterpreted through our point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n Diners can also go home with pieces from Bam Bam\u2019s debut collection (designed and developed by Kali Gill-Desjardins and Reno), which draws on inspiration from vintage car culture, while reimaging it through a modern lens.<\/p>\n The brand\u2019s bulldog iconography will be explored throughout, with each piece thoughtfully cut and sewn using premium fabrics.<\/p>\n Reno said that he is excited for guests to visit Bam Bam, and shared that the new comfort food restaurant is only just the beginning.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve got a lot more we want to do with Bam Bam, but for now, we\u2019re just excited to have it out in the world,\u201d said Reno. \u201cWhat I enjoy the most with Bam Bam, Nemesis and Dope Bakehouse is the endless opportunity to create.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re constantly creating, tweaking, just continuing to integrate and refine. That part brings a lot of joy. And beyond that, it\u2019s seeing people move through it effortlessly. Just having another space in the city where you can hang out, make some memories, eat super tasty food, and feel connected to something.\u201d<\/p>\n The new restaurant officially opens on April 1, 2026, with soft opening hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week.<\/p>\n Address:\u00a0160 West Georgia St., Vancouver<\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n Still hungry?
