The Laff's greatest attribute is its patrons ; everyone is super friendly ! Nice for a quiet beer during the week, and also for getting your drink on with Lucky Ron on Saturday!

This place is exactly the type of spot you end a night off in. It's dim, packed, serves beer in big bottles and mugs. Rowdy crowd, good music . Awesome place.

The only watering hole on the Market that doesn't have a kitchen..but who cares. Great patio , board games and friendly bartenders

Château Lafayette In 1849, just months after it opened its patrons were in a violent riot called The Stoney Monday Riot. http://capitalneighbourhoods.ca/english/lowertown/story-171.aspx
