THINGS TO CHECK OUT THIS WEEK IN GASTOWN
Written by Gastown Admin
Fall Brunch at Chill Winston
We’re always looking forward to enjoying brunch on the weekends. Chill Winston is offering brunch service every Saturday, Sunday and holiday Monday from 10am-2pm. There are plenty of fresh and local offerings to try. The weekend menu has a range of reinterpreted breakfast classics including handmade bison burger, house-smoked turkey club, chicken hash and omelets made with free-range eggs. Check here to view their weekend brunch menu.
Aperitivo Hour at Pourhouse
An after-work cocktail will be more enticing than ever. Pourhouse is now hosting ‘Aperitivo Hour’ featuring three aperitifs and three cocktails (on special) and exclusive menu items – all available Monday to Friday, 2pm-5pm. Their cocchi americano, carpano bianco, Milano Torino and Negroni are a few ‘happy hour’ drinks to add to your pre-dinner ritual. Visit here for more details by Scout Magazine.
