The Griz has the best of both: An amazing restaurant with fab food and a casual atmosphere, and a bar with billiards, sports and DJ later in the evening. It's right in The Hub, so it's a great spot to kick-off a night on the town. Fantastic brunch too!

Tom's Place is a guilty pleasure of mine. It's more like a hunting cabin than a bar – complete with stuffed wildlife – but it's got couches next to a wood-burning fireplace, quiet and comfy booths, super friendly staff, great food and an intimate atmosphere. This is my fave secret spot. Please don't share it with too many people!

This tiny, dark and cavernous pub boasts the best craft beer selection in town. Great place for a date or to try something you'd never otherwise dare to drink... except here, tonight, with friends, in Kingston.

An award-winning, local craft brewery and bar right in downtown Kingston. Beer is fantastic and so is the food. It can get very busy, but highly recommended.

Parks & Nature
Stroll the Lake Ontario Waterfront or run the trails. This park is great anytime of year, especially in the summer, when the splash pad and playground are teeming with active kids. Perfect place for a lakeside picnic, and plenty of parking.

Sightseeing
Tours through Kingston Penitentiary will offer a rare and unique opportunity to go behind the walls of Canada’s oldest and most notorious maximum security prison. Closed in 2013, the guided tours will provide an up-close look at KP as an amazing historical building and a national historic site, which predates Canadian confederation. http://kingstonpentour.com
