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 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...

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.

We walked into an industrial-looking…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 »
