Monday
KEEP IT LOW KEY.
There’s no better place to raise a toast to the start of the week than the Boxcar ( 923 Main St., thecobalt .ca/the-boxcar). The narrow wood-panelled room features 24 rotating craft beer taps alongside cocktails, but more importantly, the laid-back sta is totally cool if you bring in a pizza from Pizzeria Farina next door. (The carbonara pie pairs beautifully with a Berliner Weisse—just sayin’.)
SING YOUR HEART OUT.
The Boxcar’s other neighbour is big-sister venue the
Cobalt ( 917 Main St., thecobalt.ca), which oers up some rowdier Monday-night fun in adelightfully dive-y 100-plus-year-old space. Mondays mean nocover karaoke on the low-slung stage, and the event is an industry fave for chefs and servers from the city’s hottest restaurants. So grab a $4 PBR, belt out some George Michael (RIP) and canoodle with a cutie who might just be able to snag you a reso at Savio.
