Sassy, chill Twin Peaks themed spot for hearty eats and fun drinks. If you're lucky you can sit in one of the individual little booth huts. Open late. Serves "camp" style food. The "pulled pork" (veg) poutine is my fave.

This location is a lot smaller than the other one. I prefer it. Expect a line at peak times. Best to go when they first open or after 9:30pm.

It's a lot more than a movie theatre. SO MANY cool events here (burlesque, improv, and more!). It's the one place in town where you have a relaxed feel and bar and can drink inside the theatre. Check out the Friday night late movies (classics that start at 11:30pm).
