A nicer than average bar that has great food and good beer on tap. The crowd is mixed between 20-somethings right up to retirees out for a night on the town. Good buzz and a nice setting with either a sit down restaurant or bar atmosphere. The service and selection are nice and often there will be live music to entertain the variety of patrons.

A 10-15 minute drive away is a great little vineyard in the hills of Beaver Valley. Their wines are in the LCBO and their small space is very inviting. You can do a tasting; pairing with some simple food options, or simply buy a few bottles of wine that are made in our backyard. It’s a great outing for all.
