OK i'm up-ing this review because the Alibi Room is consistently one of my happy places.
Relaxed and loose it is one of the few places in Vancouver that feels "lived in" as a bar/resto. It has an ease and a comfort that I really dig, the burgers are…More »
I'm a little ashamed to say it took me, uh, almost 10 years to get here. Yes, it's true. I've always… Read more »
OK i love this place. Love it in the summer when you get a seat outside, sip some whiskey or beer, eat some yum food and wave at the chumps paying $9 for popcorn across the street at Chill Winston! HA!!! Suckahs!!

I am normally really NOT a fan of bitter but oh man, the Blood Alley Bitter is to die for. Just thinking about it is making me salivate and yearn for it's perfect blend of tart and malty sweetness...
Please just tell me you'll try it next time you…More »

For such a high density neighbourhood there really aren't a lot of places to grab a drink after work in the West End. Bayside Lounge is my favourite by far.

Three words...beer/whiskey specials!!!!
Whoa! What a great idea! Except when you get it you keep thinking you are having one drink when indeed you are having two. So 2 rounds really equals 4 drinks...which is great also! Oh, except it's monday, and I…More »
Just go.
You're in Tofino, you're probably a cityfolk, like me, looking for something local, something unique and authentic. Something crafted with care and not mass produced just for profit.
So go. Just go.

Well at least you know what you're getting into when you walk in.
Last time I was at the Cambie was about 15 years ago. Yes, I realize that ages me. I'm cool with it. I thought it was hilarious that I pointed this fact out to one of my friends (i.e.,…More »

The brew pub is a solid locale to watch the game (ooof), have pub food and enjoy a drink or two. The lounge was packed so we grabbed a high table in the restaurant.
One of my gripes about this place is the red wine list. Yes, i know it's a brew pub,…More »
Good lord. How hard is it to make a salad? I mean my cat could make a salad. And he has very questionable taste in food. Here's his recipe...fresh lettuce (any variety), add crunchy fresh vegetables, toss in LIGHT salad dressing so as to coat but NOT…More »

Never been or heard of this place before but a friend wanted to get her grubby mitts on Philips limited edition Mass Extinction so we ventured in. I'm sure there are probably places…More »
