I work at this really neat place called the Avalanche Bar and Grill in Courtenay, B.C. I think this is a great place to come down to if you want to just chill out and have a couple of cold beers on tap or listen to live eclectic music, new hip hop groups or perhaps to have a laugh at the local and out-of-town talent every third Thursday on comedy night.
The variety of music and shows they put on are endless and are a great variety for young and old. If you are a musician and want to just get out and jam, the Avalanche hosts a jam night Tuesdays starting at 8 p.m. Also, if you are in no mood to cook before you come on down, try the bite and beer special.
Just recently, the Avalanche Bar and Grill was nominated as Australia’s top 100 places to go to. On January 25th they threw an “Aussome” party celebrating Australia Day – which I found out is just as much a big deal as Canada Day! I was very pleased to see people dressed up wearing Australian flags in their hair, decorated in gold and green, and temporary tattoos plastered all over their bodies to support the one day they all love. Though far from their home, they were able to celebrate in their second home at the Avalanche.
This is what is happening this week at Avalanche:
MONDAY: Karaoke starts at 8:30-ish
TUESDAY: Jam Night starts at 8
WEDNESDAY: Pool and Poker starts at 7
THURSDAY and FRIDAY: DJ Brian Expert (no cover)
SATURDAY: UFC starts at 7
SUNDAY: Super Bowl – Saints vs. Colts (Come in and win some great prizes!)
Check out more information on their website!
Hope to see you all soon!
(Next week i am going to feature another local hotspot here in the Comox Valley. Make sure you keep on reading.)
