1. The Brooklyn
The Brooklyn
The most popular place to head to on a Friday night is The Brooklyn, a cool spot tucked away just on the edge of the downtown core. The main draw here is the great selection of craft beer, predominantly sourced from local Ontario breweries. There is also live music and trivia nights on various evenings during the week. The crowd seems to be mainly composed of post-grad students from Queen’s University’s law faculty and there’s a friendly vibe, with a good number of tables large enough to accommodate big groups.
