Road Trip To Winnipeg

[Beavski24]

Nice thanks for all the replys guys so far were ages 24-25 and were pumped to eat these winnipeg burgers

 

[Beavski24]

There are no sights. It's -30 to -40. Just the game. Go to Tavern United beside the rink, and you're set!

Also, what game do you have tickets for?

We have Tickets to the Jets Vs Devils Feb 28th seats 326

 

[Beavski24]

If im at the game your at, Ill buy you a beer, SECTION 326 REPRESENT

Ill take you up on that beer, cant wait to chant at kovy

 

[Beavski24]

it really depends, do you want quality strippers or average strippers?

we will take somewhere inbetween

Mrs. Mikes for burgers in St. Boniface would be my suggestion. I'm pretty sure they should be open for late Feb. (Depends year to year how long they close for winter, last few years it wasn't that long, but one of the owners died this summer IIRC.)

If were talking burgers I really like George's on the corner of St. Marys and Bishop Grandin

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Make sure you head to the Palmino for a great night out

 

[OnionPuck]

Is the festival du voyager still going on at that time? If so you should check it out.

The forks river trail is really nice. Can play some pickup there too.

The kingshead is a pretty hopping pub... if you want something a bit more upscale head to Rudy's (I can't believe how packed it was Saturday, with people in your age range too).

In terms of food... we have so many amazing restaurants. I'd recommend checking something like tripadvisor.

(And if you wanted to do something a bit more refined, the city has a great cultural scene... check out the art gallery/museums/the ballet/symphony/a play. The shopping is probably pretty good compared to where you're from, so it wouldn't be a total waste of time to hit up the malls.)

Did you go to CJS by chance?

CJS... Represent.

Class of 96.

Love the cougars that roam that bar

assuming a hotel is booked. what area of the city are you staying? it will make venues you gotta visit easier rather than travelling across the city to hit everything. im about your age and always have a solid night out while downtown

Greeks

What?

 

[RECCE]

What?

Sorry, AKA Dairi-Wip Drive-in.

 

[Flair Hay]

The pal for sure. The food is a small part of the night IMO, the pal is the prototypical cougar bar slash best bet at getting laid.

..if your willing to stoop down a rung or two on the "ladder" lol

I'm 25 myself and if there is ever a night where more hardcore is required, the pal is usually the target.

Go Jets Go!

there's nothing special about George's burgers and subs. They're edible, but hardly great. Superboys is better, and I don't like them. White Top, VJ's, Dairy Whip, Mrs. Mikes, all are delicious.

 

[Saitama]

I'll skip the poutine and river skating recommendations I'd make for an American visitor, especially since Ottawa has a pretty good trail IIRC.

Best pub: King's Head - close to the MTS center in the historic Exchange district, awesome architecture in that area, pretty packed on the weekends

Best burger (in the winter): Daly or Original George's - try to get a Winnipeg style burger while you're here

Just in case that doesn't say it well enough, I am not a fan.

The Daly Burger on Pembina bites. Maybe it's who you get making the burgers, but George's on St. Mary's at Bishop kicks their heinie right down the road. Same guy owns it that started out on St. Anne's Road back in the early 1980s. His name? Yup, George.

I'm good with the notion of people preferring White Top, VJs, Dairy Whip and Mrs. Mikes. If you're in the St. B area though I'd go with Dairy Whip and Teasers. I'm not sure what order to visit those establishments though.

Too each there own I guess. I quite liked it. But on the places you listed I've only been to Mrs. Mikes which was comparable imo.

 

[RECCE]

I've been to Blondies on Main a couple times (years ago, like 10-13 years) although I've also heard mixed reviews, I liked it.

 

[SCP Guy]

Come on guys you can't send a couple of out of town 25 year olds to the Palamino!!!! They will get torn apart by the 40 year old housewives that hunt on those grounds....These poor guys will wake up in the morning not knowing what or who they did last night...The deep scratches and bite marks will be the only evidence left behind of the attack...

Run guys Run it's a trick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tacogeoff]

Love all the burger suggestions lol. Gonna save a few of those establishments to try out. My personal favorite is The Burger Place on portage by the park

 

[fitzy0019]

me and a few friends did a burger challenge a few summers ago. we bought a burger from all the "famous" spots around town. each of us had a different fav. mine is georges(st marys), other guys is Johnnys(on marion), and the other had superboys(main)

This guy knows whats up! The burger place is run by the old owner (and founder) of daly burger. It's a dive but so good!

Also im pretty sure mrs mikes is closed right now, i tried to go there a few weeks back, and daly burger on pembina does indeed suck, corydon is alot better imo

 

[Chaosmonkey]

Also im pretty sure mrs mikes is closed right now,

They usually do close for 4-8 weeks over winter, my boss is a total addict, he should know when they are open again. I'll check with him after lunch.
