What about Mill Street? Close to transit, nice view of all the action at Lebreton and decent beer/food.

This sounds like an excellent place. Can't disagree with my namesake.

Has anything opened in Zibi looking out towards the downtown skyline or Chaudiere Falls?

Well, so much for Zibi. There doesn't seem to be anything there. So much for its early promise to be new entertainment district. Not even a coffee shop, it seems.

We've invited you out so many times, sir. Stop looking for excuses! We are nice people in person (most of us)!

After referring with a few friends, I've heard somewhat bad things. If you have been there and have heard otherwise, please cleanse my Gatineau mind. I would love to be proven wrong.

Don't think we should have to be within bird's eye view of a new skyscraper to have an enjoyable time.

Bay Street Bistro has never failed us before. Outdoors on their patio. 100% accessible. Right on Line 1. Added bonus: Ricardo’s is only a few blocks away.

Yes, the place should be accessible for all. How you doing, Norm?

I'm stupid. You did come out once, in 2023 right? I think I kept mixing you up with that Roger fellow.

I'm down with the Hintonburg area.

I have been at a number of meet-ups, first one at Lansdowne around 10 years ago. I have met you.

Mill Street is fine. I went before Igloofest last year after a long hiatus and I was happy.

Quarts at Carleton Tavern wouldn't be the worst idea in the world.

I was thinking about that.. one last hurrah for the Carleton. I don't think it's everyone's cup of tea, though.

Can confirm. He’s been my wingman during several previous meets.
