Pabellon Gastropub

The Gastropub is a new concept to me. I tried out Wellington Gastropub in Ottawa (definitely worth checking out if you are in the area) and loved the idea of pub-feel combined with high quality food.
When I drove by Pabellon Gastropub and saw the term Gastropub, I was not sure how to respond. Would they [...]

Busk a Move

Kingston plays host to numerous notable festivals throughout the summer, including last weekend’s hugely successful Limestone City Blues Fest.  These events not only pack the streets, restaurants and stores with paying customers, but they also create an unmistakable buzz and elevate the spirit of the entire community.  In between the Blues Fests, Busker’s Rendezvous, [...]

Weekly Poll: Kingston’s Indie Rock Band

During my teenage years, I unfortunately had very limited exposure to the local indie music scene. Whether it was simply in short supply in small town Ontario, or lingered in the shadows of what was being sold on radio and music video stations, my introduction to homegrown, emerging acts was somewhat delayed. After living [...]

Happy Blues Fest everyone!  I was out and about last night with some friends checking out some great bands.  First, I headed to Confederation Basin to see Carlos del Junco.  I have never heard anyone play a harmonica like this guy, it was incredible!  And equally as incredible was the wonderful vibe around the stage [...]

The Pilot House

I really like fish and chips but it is hard to taste test them frequently because they are quite oily. I’ve heard from various sources that the Pilot House served the best fish and chips in Kingston so I decided to check it out. It is sort of a dodgy looking place but to be [...]

Weekly Poll: Clear Garbage Bags

In March 2009, the City of Kingston launched the highly anticipated organic recycling program in an effort to reduce the amount of recyclable material ending up in landfills by 65 percent. About a month later, city officials announced that 35 percent of Kingstonians were using their green bins. You can interpret that number as [...]

Happy Friday everyone!  Wow, it was almost chilly this morning wasn’t it?  According to my thermometer, it was 13 when I woke up today.  Still sunny and beautiful though.  I’m certainly not going to complain, this summer has been amazing.  I guess Mother Nature felt she owed us one after last year…
So what are your [...]

Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts

It’s not a secret that Queen’s University is under served by their performing arts venues, as Grant Hall, Theological Hall and Harrison LeCaine are simply lacking in too many key areas to be effective.  Since coming to Kingston, I’ve attended more student musicals and drama performances elsewhere in the city, than those that were hosted [...]

5 Things to See and Do Before the End…of Summer 2010

I don’t want to be a buzz kill here, but did you realize that there’s only 20 days left until Labour Day.  That’s right, you have less than one month to clear off the bucket list before the kids (or you) go back to school.  Without further adieu, and in no particular order, here’s Kingstonist’s [...]
