Jaimoe Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 FYI, the K-Rock Centre in Kingston is brand-spanking new. It holds around 6 thousand for hockey, so I'm assuming you can add 2 thousand more for concerts. I've read that the acoustics are good as are the sightlines. One great thing is that it's located on Ontario Street, which is on the waterfront and the area is loaded with pubs, bars and restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the dutchie will make it back that far.What's the name of the brewery that makes Dragon's Breath? The old Hart brewery in Carleton Place used to brew it under contract years ago and I miss it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try White Tale, Dragoon's Pale and a few more fine brews and then stagger over the concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartamophone Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 don't forget about this epic tour Right, which is why I referred to Pearl Jam's tour as near-exhaustive and non-territorial. I give mad props to the White Stripes for taking one on the financial chin and heading North, thus making it a true Canadian tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 What would be the best/closest hotel to stay at for the Kingston show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 What would be the best/closest hotel to stay at for the Kingston show?Any downtown hotel will do like the Holiday Inn, Radisson, Four Points, Confederation Place Hotel, Hotel Belvedere (historic hotel) - the downtown is compact and the hotels are right in the middle of the waterfront where the restaurants, shopping and pubs are (and the K-Rock Centre too).If B&B's are more your style, my lovely cousin Barbara has a bed & breakfast at the bottom of Earl and Ontario, just a 10 minute walk on Ontario to the K-Rock Centre. She lives in once of the oldest houses in the city, built at the end of the 18th century: http://www.astonesthrow.ca/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Anyone every stayed at the newly renovated Queen's Inn? The Sports looks great and I heard decent things about the Inn's rooms and rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) I read an article in the Whig about the Queen's after the fire. Anyway, I'm more curious than anything. The first three reviews are recent, after the reno: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g154992-d270352-Reviews-The_Queens_Inn-Kingston_Ontario.html Edited September 30, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(see, I can read the letters to editor in the Whig too) The letters in the Whig are goddamn retarded, to be polite. I've been to three events and have always found free parking within a 5 minute walk. The most you'll pay to park right close is $6 I think.

Jaimoe Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 The parking controversy in Kingston shouldn't be a controversy. There's tons of street parking and the lots aren't expensive. It's the people that like to drive everywhere and don't like to walk more than a minute at a time that do all the complaining. Anyone that lives in the downtown core or just outside of it can walk to the K-Rock Centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
