This was by far my most favorite place I visited in Canada.

For starters- they gave us a tour of the brewery, and it was the most impromptu thing ever. So informal, but good :)

Then, we (of course) and to go sit at the bar and drink some beers they…More »

The Elbow Room is Beth Cafe's (Seattle) sister branch, I've decided.

This place is the most perfect I-have-a-hangover-and-will-eat -anything-greasy-and-will-not- argue-food.

I got the Patricia one morning, yum. Shared the New Yorker the next morning.…More »

Absolutely stunning venue.

The interior is amazing, and the ceiling mural is so cool!

My group and I were running a tad behind, so the ushers were basically running us to our seats before the symphony started which I thought was annoying, but I…More »

I have no real complaints about this Ramada.

I got a hotel so I could have a place to shower and sleep. Ramada fulfilled my expectations.

So, yeah... it's in a shady area of town it seems, you  basically have to go thru a dark alley and park your car…More »

I spent the most time at this bar then anywhere else while I was in Vancouver.

The staff are awesome (Mike and Taryn I think, and then the owner's son?)

Their eggnog and rum drink was good, and beer selection was decent.

I never ordered food, so this…More »

Not a bad way to start a vacation then by going to the Morrissey right after checking into my hotel.

Decent beer selection.

Cool wall stuff.

Honestly, I don't remember much about Doolin's while I visited it during my drunken Vancouver vacation.

I was, however, brilliant enough to have typed a note to myself regarding Doolins while drunk: Doolins irish pub, cool.
I believe we had their fries…More »

loooove the day of the dead style art they have on the back walls, as well as the clothing they carry (black art and iron fist.)

Pricing seemed pretty high to me...

I'm not into sushi. So this is for the pork teriyaki rice bowl.

It was pretty good, nothing really WOW, and I had to add some soy sauce into it for more flavor....

Friends got a variety of sushi, they were all impressed for the price.
