An absolute gem of a "dive" bar…read more I dropped by The Vat yesterday after being away from the city for 5 years - it hasn't changed a lick, and that's a good thing. One of the funkiest live music venues/dive bars I've ever been to, The Vat is funky, eclectic and altogether charming and welcoming. No wonder it's a hit with diverse people ranging from college students to old regulars. I wish I could pick it up and take it with me, up north to Edmonton. The server was friendly, the beer (house draught) was ultra-cheap and cold, and even though there were only a couple of rub-a-dubs around on a Sunday afternoon at 2, it was a blast. Definitely drop by if you've never been. A great way to break up the long drive from Edmonton to Calgary, or vice versa.

Couple pool tables, massive but g screen tv for sporting events, no debit or credit cards accepted but bank machine on premises. I think it's a rustic old school bar (some use the term dive) but it reminds me of the bar I grew up playing pool in. Industry nights on Sunday's are a blast with some good open stage talents. It ain't high brow but I like it plenty ;)

Unprofessional staff that does not honor tee times booked in advance. I called and emailed this…read morecourse a month prior to our annual boys golf trip to book to back to back tee times the afternoon of Friday, July 25th and I received an email confirmation that the tee times were booked. when the 8 of us arrived at the course that afternoon, the two young kids at the pro shop said we did not have a tee time, there is a group event going on, they didn't have enough carts for us anyways and we couldn't walk the course. they refused to work with us and left us without an afternoon tee time in the middle of our long weekend golf trip. I was beyond frustrated with the lack of corporation we we received and unwillingness with right the wrong especially because the course looked like a ghost town when we arrived and we were shocked that they couldn't squeeze us in, just an absolute joke!

Don't expect high class theatre seating like cineplex. Definitely great for children depending on the movie, price is affordable only debit or cash, no credit. What you expect to have in a theatre at decent quality. Game room open area is small with arcade games. One spot purchase for tickets and food at the concession. Parking is large and located around the building when driving in. There is a shared business next door Ctrl-V but entrance appears to be separate from the cinema entrance. To be honest I'm not sure I'd bring a date here, but for sure kids if I were to babysit. Maybe just friends who wanna watch a cheap movie in the box office or old movie. Volume is also decent in theatre. Also note that they promote businesses on the prescreen which is a good way to support local businesses for a price of course.

It certainly is a boon for the whole city to have a facility like this.

Weeeell, we didn't do as well as we'd hoped, but it was a fun thing to do. It was not just the escape room itself, but the three staff members who made the experience so much more enjoyable. They were young, enthusiastic, humorous and as helpful as the rules would allow. I highly recommend this location - kudos to whomever is responsible for hiring - great picks!

I've been twice in the past 24-hours. The first time was so amazing, that I had to come back…read more Unfortunately, the second time was a bit of a reality check. Here's how the experience went... (NO SPOILERS) Our first escape was an attempt to find Excalibur, in order to slay a dragon laying waste to our lands. The program was well-written, the challenges were both interesting and fun, and the ambiance was great. As an added bonus, the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. We went back the very next day and took on The Heist, where you attempt to steal a diamond from a bank vault. Again, the program and challenges made it an absolute thrill. However the ambience was just about completely ruined by the technical issues that marred this particular room. Again, without revealing any of the premise of the game, two locks were so blatantly dysfunctional that multiple members of our team could not open them and we had to get a staffer to assist us. Also, a television had so many issues that I couldn't tell if it was to increase the tension in the game, or if it was simply poor maintenance; although I highly believe it was the latter. All said, it was still an enjoyable escape, and well done, but we were left feeling cheated by the technical difficulties we encountered. Had I only done The Quest, this would easily be a 5-star review. Had I only done The Heist, I would be struggling to award 3-stars. Again, the staff was extremely friendly, so I think a 4-star review is a solid middle ground. I would hate for anyone to rate this venue after just one visit.

There were also some art pieces some great lookout spots and a bit of playground equipment for the kids to begin and end the path. We came on a great fall day and saw quite a few birds in and on the water along with a few other animals (deer among others). I would highly recommend this short hike -- it isn't too difficult (though if you have reduced mobility I'd stay on the flat area which is paved rather than on the dirt path). There is ample parking nearby and the gift shop building has restrooms and exhibits among other things.
