Punk Rock Bingo
Hurray for summertime! Well maybe it’s a tad early to start celebrating, but patio weather has definitely arrived. Enjoying a few drinks and snacks on the sunny south-facing Ship and Anchor patio followed by a game of Punk Rock Bingo on Tuesday night is probably one of the best ways to rejoice in the fact that winter is now behind us. Grab some buddies, order a round and try your luck with a bingo dabber at everyone’s favourite watering hole on 17th Avenue. You’ll thank yourself on Wednesday.
The No Name
Do you have a knack for naming things? Bar C is having a competition to name their cocktail (aptly titled the “No Name Yet” cocktail). Until May 7th the public is invited to come up with a crafty signature that best describes this sensational mix of Madera 5+5 rum, Frangelico and Cynar (a 13-herb Italian liqueur). If you have a brilliant suggestion, submit your idea online and the reason for choosing it. If your name is selected you’ll be spending two nights at one of the three prestigious CRMR hotels. For contest rules, you can visit. #NoNameYet
Odysseo Cavalia
Are you ready for the ultimate equestrian experience? You’ll feel as though you’re floating through a dream when you’re seated under the Odysseo Cavalia big top.

An evening under one of the biggest tents in the world involves marvelous performances by musicians, acrobats, dancers and skilled riders.
