Whoah! Sorry I missed this. I have been fairly occupied this weekend =P
The Gate, I like the Steak Sandwich there. My favourite place is Mavor's in the Confederation of the Arts center, it's a bit pricey, but worth it; they have GREAT martinis which are so hard to find on this island (the only other place that I have found that serves great ones is a place called the 42nd Street Lounge, in the upstairs of a restaraunt called Off Broadway, half the staff is gay so you know it's classy).
Piazza Joes is good place, an Italian restaraunt, it converts to a night club during the nights. Peakes is also a great place, they usually have quite good bands there, lately they have a female led band called Junkmale playing, hot lead singer with a great voice.
Good bars without cover: Gahan House (pub, you can get awesome food before midnight on Saturdays, and it has GREAT beer, I recommend the Harvest Gold. actually, I recommend their sampler, 6 bucks for 6 glasses of beer). Churchill Arms, a smaller pub, but often they have awesome bands playing, sometimes they have bad nights, always a great place for a pitcher of Rickards. As I said, Mavor's and 42nd Street Lounge are also good places.
Bars with cover that I recommend: Peakes, it's 10 bucks, and drinks are expensive, but it's a great summer spot (only open during the summer season). Piazza Joes is my favourite nightclub, dark, fog, lasers, great music, very hot women, 5 dollars. Jakes (Yacht Club) is a great place as well, Saturdays, 5 dollars. Baba's is a small crowded pub that is a restaraunt by day, has great Lebanese, usually a good band during the night; costs 5 bucks, but I usually don't prefer this place. Some people like the Velvet Underground nightclub, personally I feel it's kind of dirty, I wouldn't recommend bringing a girl home from this place. There is Hunter's Ale House, also 5 dollars, fairly large. The huge club I used to work at Myron's got closed down. There are some other places on Victoria Row (the street with all the fountains and stuff on it, if you ever see it) all seasonal, I assume they're good, but I haven't really gone to anything there in a while. The Olde Dublin Pub is a great place as well, it's one of the larger pubs, perhaps the largest in town, 5 bucks; this is where you'll hear bands that cover Dropkick Murphy's, Great Big Sea, etc...
But dude, next time you're down here, give me a heads up, I'll tell you exactly where to go to have a good time (based on the day of the week, the bands/occaision). Get your people to meet up with my people and we can get some pitchers.
