M.O.B.E Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm coming to town! The wife and I will be in town for a little weekend getaway March 30th till April 1. Already planning for an appearance at Stephen Franke and hopefully a cook off on Saturday night. I'm not sure what friday has in store yet but we are up for anything and any reccommendations. Can't wait to meet some fine Ottawa folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie- shhh don't tell the wife but it is supposed to be a weekend away for US, more so ME but thems the breaks sometimes. Bouche- Just for that, Im gonna bust out a super secret ingrediant and blow your mind Brad- thanks, sounds like fun but Im not really into the DJ thing unless its a Reggae Soundclash. Is there any small cafe/bohemian type places around the market?? Or any seedy blues bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Is there any small cafe/bohemian type places around the market?? Or any seedy blues bars? There's The Dominion Tavern, which is more of a dive/biker bar than a seedy blues bar, but has its charms (and a really good beer selection to boot). They usually don't have music, but they have a couple of pool tables.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.B.E Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I'm not much of a pool player but I do love biker bars, it will be just like home I just noticed the Senators have a home game that night. Trying to score tickets now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 The Rainbow usually has blues bands but I find they're often the polished, non-gritty type of blues, but hey you never knowoh yes and it's down in the market, so nice and close for youse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 The Rainbow usually has blues bands but I find they're often the polished, non-gritty type of blues, but hey you never know If you check with me, you know. For Friday, March 30, The Rainbow lists indie-rockers The Coggs from 5pm - 7pm, and then Tim's Myth (later, more like 9pm or 10pm), who I don't think are anything close to a blues band.

ollie Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Is there any small cafe/bohemian type places around the market?? Or any seedy blues bars? Check out Murray Street and the other streets on the backend of the market, that's where they quality stuff tends to be. Walk up Murray and peek into Chez Lucien, Benny's Bistro, Black Cat Cafe and Domus -- the latter of which is pricey but I think it's the best restaurant in Ottawa.Oh yeah, just remembered there's a coffee shop on Dalhousie, north of Murray, that got some good press recently... Ideal Coffee I believe it's called. There's also a french soup/sandwich place on Dalhousie that I've heard good things about.Yeah, now the brain is working... even further north on Dalhousie is a Portugese BBQ place that is supposed to be the tits for a cheap, homestyle meal.

ollie Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Here's a review of some of the coffee places in the market. They seem to give the nod to Ideal.http://www.ottawaxpress.ca/food/food.aspx?iIDArticle=8260 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 the Dominion isn't a biker bar, I haven't seen bikers en masse there ever (since I got to ottawa in 98).and the beer selection is hardly good... they have the same old stuff and nothing to differentiate from other bars in the market.it's still my favourite place though.ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 make sure you say hi to whitey if you go to the Dom, he'll be the loud albino yelling at his friends and telling stretchers (mark twain reference there)every time i see him he tells me that i saved his life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ask me how it started, but it had something to do with "your mother is a whore!".He'll be on tomorrow night's show I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you were watching the time for track changes so I didnt want to bug you. But Thanks for the show and the recording. I like the DJ in Inglewood Jack. Digital Vinal is the way to play.
