If you are looking for a handsome, spacious room to unwind in, one that immediately comes to mind is SMITH at Inn at the Forks, where Canadiana décor complements an excellent drink program (the smoked negroni and Manitoban Fashion – featuring local Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye, are top notch). It's a great spot to hit up after a skate for a farm-to-table dinner, or to enjoy perhaps the finest selection of local beer on tap in the city. Speaking of local beer, Winnipeg's brewery scene is now one to boast about, with numerous taps and brew pubs on offer. For strictly beer, you really can't beat Little Brown Jug and Barn Hammer Brewing – both of which have stylish taprooms that are worth poring over, while a visit to Half Pints – Winnipeg's original microbrewery – is always a good call. For a dazzling array of options head to Torque – which has won numerous awards, or Trans Canada Brewing – which can add a fine complement to your retail experience at the shopping hub of south Kenaston. For places that pair food and beer head to Nonsuch Brewing Co., one of the city's best new breweries, boasting a gorgeous room and a precise, meat-centric menu from chef Tyrone Welchinski. There's also the always busy Brazen Hall, where can't-miss dishes include Nashville fried chicken and a fine selection of burgers as well as One Great City, which can accommodate large groups while showcasing an eclectic menu of great food at very reasonable prices. For a cool cocktail bar with sumptuous small plates and a courtyard patio, look no further than Langside Grocery, a hip haunt in a heritage building in Winnipeg's West Broadway neighbourhood. If you're seeking something a bit more dive-bar in the same area, check out The Handsome Daughter, which often hosts comedy shows and trivia nights and is home to Magic Bird, where you can get some of the best spicy fried chicken in the city.
