    I scored 2 tickets. As of now, I have a family member going. But if that falls through I will be more than happy to attempt a meet up so someone in here who gets shut out can get in :)

    I made a list of restaurants that are within walking distance or a very short Uber ride from First Ontario Centre and all downtown hotels. I’m only going to reference establishments that I have eaten at some point and would eat at again. 

    Bronzie’s place ( Italian)
    La Cantina (Italian)
    The George Hamilton restaurant
    Anchor Bar ( chicken wings)
    Radius ( also a night club , got thrown out once, bouncer was a jerk) 
    Cat n Fiddle ( English pub) 
    Stonewall Restaurant 
    Honest Lawyer ( most likely the pre and post Pearl Jam party) 
    Hamilton Burger ( best QSR burger place in town) 
    also any restaurant on Locke st like Brux House craft beers and Westtown tavern.  
    Locke street is a nice area made up of antique shops and scratch bakeries 

    for any other Hamiltonians if I have missed somewhere that you could recommend please let us know. 








    We live in the city, here is my input to help all those coming to visit.

    I must say Bronzies is a god dem gem of a place on James St. 👌 It's maybe a 5-10 minute walk and the best home style pizza, family home feeling family run place in the city! Think cheers.. but hamilton.

    Brux house is our favorite!

    West Town for breakfast 👌

    My additions would be as follows..

    If you feel adventurous.. best craft beer in the city is Fairweather which is a 10 minute drive from the arena (closer to the university), but hey I'll drive you!

    Mezcal - great trendy mexican, great drinks and awesome tacos.. not super authentic but a fun place! (5-10 minute walk)

    Born and Raised - best restaurant in the city IMO, Italian also again on James St North (5-10 minute walk)

    Rise above - insane vegan food, wings and pizza! (5-10 minute walk)

    The brain is a awesome cocktail and craft beer bar on James St. - 5 minute walk 

    Bread bar on James Street, super trendy and great local ingredient restaurant l, probably best pizza you can find! 

    Collective arts is another fantastic brewery which is a 5-10 minute drive but again if you need a ride I could go for a beer! 

    Locke st area is a great area, its where I live but you are looking at at 20-25 minute walk.

    Have fun and if you need anything just ask!! 

    Nice additions

    I would add restaurants along King William to this list. The French is great, so is The Diplomat and HAMBRGR. 
    Good catch,  I wrote Hamilton Burger , it’s Hambrgr .  Best  QSR in downtown

    I'm in! 40 minute drive sounds good to me! Was at the 2011 show. Amazing! Push me pull me, U were a couple of highlights for me

    Also for any out of towners that are fans of craft beer, I highly suggest checking out collective arts brewery. Ransack the universe is one of my go to IPA's. I have yet to have a beer I didn't like from this place.

    For any in the area, and advice on getting to/from the show from Toronto on day of? Could drive, but generally prefer not to. Any GO regulars with advice? Would this be limited to buses after the show or would the LSW train still be going and convenient?

    Clifford’s is also good but it’s at the far end of town.

    If you dont feel like driving, you can get to/from the show via the GO. Buses after the show @ 1130pm & 1230am will take you back to Union in TO. No transfers, should be pretty convenient!

    It's not a brewery, its a pub.. they don't brew beer. Fantastic location but food/beer 🤷🏼‍♂️ meh. I live maybe 5 minutes away and there are some much better spots but this is the most convenient
