I am in love with this venue.
Cliche but true: this place is a diamond in the rough. Nestled in the not-so-cozy DTES across from the police station, this unexpected venue is a true GEM. It is a huge space accented with rich reds, golden brown tiles,…More »

I am loving it here in Rhizome... 2 of my friends and I are working on work/school projects and we were just commenting about how this is the best coffee shop that we have worked in so far. We're on a wifi hop to find the best coffee/work space!…More »

Ok, so I'm from Kamloops, so I can dig an old school pub as much as Richard Simmons can love short shorts. I went here with some friends and we had a blast. There are old people everywhere (awesome) cheap drinks, shuffleboard, darts, keno, karaoke…More »

Toby's is a great neighborhood pub that outclasses the neighborhood (my hood, baby!) in a refreshing way. The pub has a classy British pub look that is warm inviting. I love that. The upstairs area I like best... it just seems brighter up there and…More »
Wow, I had such a great experience at Romers. I came for their grand opening (held months after they opened) where they served free food to the public. Nice! The best part was that I got to sample a lot of lil' things:

Oh the Wise Hall. It has a charm about it that I can't quite explain. During my last visit there (for the amazing Rain City Chronicles) I was quite taken by the ancient fabric wallpaper, plain architecture and modest bathrooms. It's a humble venue…More »
Bowling, like most sporting activities, is a weak spot for me. But boy, am I good at the game called gutter ball! My own version of the game is not intentional, but let's just say at Rev's I won. GB champion. Hazaaa!!
As Mark H mentioned, the…More »
I've paintballed (is that a verb?) in Kamloops, Regina and Vancouver, indoor and outdoor and North Shore Paintball is a real treat. I'm not an expert shoots-man (more of an expert 'hides-man') but I had a blast and that certainly counts for…More »

Please, for the love of everything good in this world, try their macarons. Almond-flavoured mini sandwiches of delicate sweetness. One bite and I was catapulted to euphoria. Oh please, can I just have one (make that ten) more..?
**Note: Due to space…More »

Great & spacious community venue with a view of the water. BALLER! The free parking and newness of the facility seems surreal. Clearly I need to buy a unit in the Olympic Village.

Wow. What a way to enjoy the city. With panoramic views at 430 feet it's hard to not enjoy life at the top. Though the Shangri-la dwarfs Harbour Centre considerably, the Lookout's height is actually ideal because it's low enough to still make out…More »
