Thank you, Regina!
Manitoban here, who was in Regina for a funeral this weekend.
I hadn’t been to Regina since I was a child, and even then, it was just to pass through.
As much as it pains me to even think of this, because of the blue and gold that flows through my veins, Regina is great! Keep in mind, I was only there for less than three full days, but I was thoroughly impressed with my experiences in that short time. Also, if this somehow gets back to another Manitoban, I will deny until I die.
I mostly stayed in the railyards area (I think) and it was great in my opinion. The strip of bars on Dewdney was fantastic. I stopped in for a beer at Bushwakker on Friday then wandered over to Revival Music Room. What a great place. The atmosphere, the people, the service, everything was top notch! It very much reminded me of a bar back in Winnipeg, in a good way.
I returned to Revival Music Room Saturday night because Friday night was excellent, and because a band from Winnipeg was going to be playing. Again, another top tier night out. Some of the staff remembered me from the night before (in a good way, I think?). The band (Dr Rocktopus) was incredible. There was a group of locals that took me in as one of their own for the rest of the night and we had a blast!
Unfortunately, due to the aforementioned blue and gold in my veins, it’s essentially punishable by death if I were to even consider sharing this information with fellow Manitobans. I’m gambling with my life even posting this here, but THANK YOU!
I don’t know when, but I will be back.
