Drinks & Nightlife
Neighbourhood sports bar with good food and friendly service. NOT FOR PEANUT SENSITIVE PEOPLE!! There is a barrel filled with peanuts at the entrance to munch on at the tables; sign tells you to wipe your feet before you leave (to get the peanut shells off your feet! They're everywhere...) Sounds crazy, but it's a great place! Kid friendly.

Hike down to the Brickworks (about 10 min walk) for the Saturday (& a slightly smaller sunday version) Farmers Market. Bring your skates in the winter, ride your bike through the trails in the warmer months. Great family outing.
