I'd like to make a complain about the Mansion restaurant that I and my friends went together for…read morekaraoke tonight July 9th, 2025 at 9:20 pm. When we got there my friends did not have the ID with them which didn't allow us to get in, one of them had the student ID with their date of birth and when she went there to ask the guy that was asking for those he was rude and talking at her. We decided to have food outside since they had half price, when we sat we had to called the waiter because he was just ignoring us, I asked him about the wings, price and kind which he had not idea of what he was selling. So we went inside to ask for the menu since we didn't get any. The bouncer (the guy who denied the entrance and the one who yelled at my friend) he came to me (I had the ID) and start yelling at me telling me I can't be there because we don't have the ID and there is a bar, I told him to be more polite and talk to me better since we are buying food which he just respond screaming that he is the bouncer and we have to leave and doesn't matter that we are buying food. Awful experience, this was our first time going to that restaurant and this was the service that we got. These kids that were working tonight do not have any idea of customer service.

Where do I begin about this amazing restaurant/bar:…read more The service is absolutely phenomenal; the bartender and servers are so friendly and always willing to serve you. The food every-time I order it is always up to par. The atmosphere, the people; it's always a great place to come everyday, it's definitely my home away from home. I've met so many amazing people here; from the regulars, to the employees, to the owners; they are such great people to get to know and to become friends with. When I wanna go for lunch or dinner or a night of drinking; I choose The Mansion. When I'm either drinking at home or out at other bars in the Kingston area I ALWAYS end up at The Mansion for last call. It's not only close to home; The Mansion is home.

The Grand Theatre is a much loved downtown concert venue that had a major renovation within the…read morelast few years. It's a good place for concerts, plays and the like, and it's worth seeing something here if you have a chance. Kingston is such a great city to see big names in small venues, and in my opinion, that's always the best way to see someone live. Seating is comfortable, and I don't think anyone in the back of the top level would have a drastically different view of the stage as someone sitting closer to the front on the lower level. I believe there is a bar and coat check service on the site.

Since the renovation, I have attended many events at the Grand. Sadly, my husband has rarely joined…read moreme. If you are under 30 years old, half price tickets are available for many shows. However, the tickets are usually located in the balcony. The leg room in the balcony makes an economy seat on a discount airline feel luxurious. I'm barely 5' tall and my knees touch the seat in front of me. If you can get orchestra tickets, the Grand Theatre is a fantastic venue. Even in the last row, the view is excellent. Parking is easy, the washrooms are clean, and the lounge is comfortable.

I'll be honest... my expectations for a food festival in Kingston really weren't that high…read more I was visiting the family and my mom had a printout of the map from the website. I looked it over, realized that half of the restaurants were chains (Coldstone, Pita Pit, Pizza Pizza, Dairy Queen, etc) and decided it would be worth attending for a laugh or two. How wrong I was.... Yes, the chains were chainy. However, the local restaurants all featured amazing menus by very talented chefs. My biggest surprise came from the Garrison Kingston culinary team. For $3, I was treated to an amazing plate of food with a relatively large portion of pork/chicken tenderloin, chipotle & candied beet coulis, fruit salsa, a potato croquette, and an unexpected but delicious shot glass of coconut cream pie. Other standouts included the tiny Chorizo sausage with pineapple salsa from Farm Boy, all of the various drinks offered by King Street Sizzle, and the Silly Yak pastries. They closed down a portion of Ontario Street to have lots of activities for the kids, too. My little one enjoyed the bouncy castles, and a personal tour of a fire truck by a real firefighter. Oh, and face painting too (she decided to be a "princess monster" and the very talented artist made it happen). I hope that I find myself back in Kingston to catch next year's Taste of Kingston!

The shows do seem geared towards the quite elderly. If you're 60 years old, you'll be one of the youngest in the audiences. My only complaint is the theatre is very hot. There's very little air circulating. In honour of the recent Johnny Cash show, I've made up a new verse for the Cash song "I've Been Everywhere". Enjoy :) Please turn on the air man, I don't think it's fair man, I'm burning in my chair man, My socks are in despair man

The Playhouse in Gananoque is summer-stock theatre with two twists. One being locale, and the…read moreother the seasonal program. As such, it stands out as one of the best regional summer theatres in all of Ontario. Firstly, the theatre is found in Gananoque proper right on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, giving its lobby one of the best views of any theatre around. Dock space is also available, allowing you to book a slip to pull up your boat and spend the night after an evening of theatre, making it one of the most unique experiences that you'll have. The program every year has the typical run of theatre favourites that you'd expect from a regional theatre of this kind. That said, the program directors at the playhouse ensure that there is a healthy mix of summer favourites and new Canadian works. This has allowed them to bring in plays like the Wingfield Farm series which through its production in theatres of this kind, has brought mutual success to both the playwright and the theatre. The playhouse also provides a more challenging theatre piece in the early fall, allowing theatre students from Kingston and the surrounding areas the opportunity to see a more demanding piece in a truly distinctive venue. The theatre itself is rustic and smallish, seating over 300 in a close proximity so that everyone is close to the stage, close to the action, and experiencing a unique evening of theatre.

I've always been curious about this place when I walked past in on my Kingston travels, and now my…read morecuriosity has been satisfied! It's basically a rep theatre, but what a rep theatre! Two screens, with them and the box office upstairs. There is elevator access, so the space is totally accessible. I didn't take any photos here, because although I don't mind being a nuisance in a restaurant, there's something about doing it in a movie theatre that makes me reluctant. So we'll see how good my powers of description are. You can buy tickets ahead of time online, or at the box office. I did the latter, and was amazed when the ticket master swung a screen around and showed me the seating plan. I could choose my own seat! What world was this? What kind of rep cinema heaven? All the standard concession standards were on sale, along with various beers and ciders for the adults who want such things while watching a movie. The decor isn't anything remarkable, except for the closed gramophone cabinet with a DO NOT TOUCH sign (close enough, I forget the exact wording). It made me wonder if they crank it up for special events... I saw a lady with a ceramic coffee mug. So as to not keep everyone in suspense, a slide in the theatre said they can serve you a drink in a ceramic cup or a disposable one, your choice! What was going on? Futhermore, my popcorn with no topping was delicious. Almost no unpopped kernels. Another slide informed me that they popped them using coconut oil, and that they used REAL BUTTER. What are the rents like in Kingston, anyway? With all this, the prices were comparable to what you pay in Toronto for a rep theatre. The theatre is long and narrow, because there are two of them side by side. For the size of the room, the screen is a fine size, and the seats are modern, clean, and comfortable. Sound is great as well. I chatted with the cinema masters behind the counter after the movie, and they aren't on any standard rep circuit. The owner picks out what they like for the programme. Frankly, I liked a lot more of the monthly calendar than my current Toronto rep theatre, as much as I love it. All the prices are pretty rep theatre standard. If you're in downtown Kingston with a couple of hours to spare, this is a wonderful space to catch a movie in!

I love this place because the staff are awesome, the movie selection is always creative and a curation of things worth watching and the vibe of the place is homey. There are two screens and normally two or three options on at a time. On Wednesday nights there is normally a throwback to something classic and depending on the time of year, they do special screenings to fit a theme (Halloween, Holidays, etc). Pricing is very affordable, and if you are a student, you can get a discount. Make sure to have cash; they don't do debit/credit.
