    Thanks  so much for the train tips....just upgraded to business class
    Always happy to contribute. Hell I've never been myself but a coworker who is in our Montreal office filled me in. I verified on their website. A quick YouTube search will show the nice seating setup. 

    For a 6+ hour ride... open bar alone is worth over the $30 difference. Throw in a proper meal and improved seating? No brainer :) 
    Biz class it is on the party train!

    If you're looking for drinks within walking distance...  There's a hockey complex called Bell Sensplex about a 5 minute walk down the road from CTC.   There's a Bar/restaurant upstairs called Stanleys.   usually have a local craft beer or two on tap.

    That place has pretty terrible reviews but I suppose an overpriced beer or two can't hurt. :) 

    Thoughts on Tommy's for pizza a km or two to the East? Staying at GLo Best Western next door.

    That's twice more than me. Good to know, was just going off reviews online! Thanks for the clarification!

    Berts is a giant clusterfuck on game/show nights.  too many people trying to get in there.

    Nothing in immediate vicinity. Crazy Horse is one of closer places but it’s about a 30 minute walk. Booked my table already.

     I haven't been to the Kanata one although I have heard not great. I have been to the Montreal one and it was ok. It's like a chain of brewpubs and people have told me it feels a lot like a chain restaurant. 

    That said I think the only time I had Evergreen Ales beer is at a beer fest and I think it was good. I keep meaning to get out there but haven't had the chance.

    I’ve been to 3 brasseurs in a few other cities sand it has good beer and food.  Not been to the Kanata one, but the one on Sparks Street, and others are good.
