Doc Willoughby's Pub

For a scene that’s casual but on the edge of trendy, with a pub like atmosphere but with better food, try Doc Willoughby’s, in the heart of downtown. The building was once a pioneer drugstore (note the hammered-tin ceiling), but the interior has been done up in a strikingly contemporary design. This is a good spot for lunch, as the entire front of the restaurant opens to the street; you can watch the to-ing and fro-ing of tourists as you choose from salads, burgers, and sandwiches. At dinner, the eclectic menu offers lots of fish, chicken, and pasta dishes.

Doc Willoughby’s is an intimate and interactive venue for unbelievable live music, and unreal Canadian talent. Although you don’t have to be Canadian to play here it sure helps.
