LopLops
This inviting venue is coated in earthy tones, with the occasional splash of a neon polka dot. Grab a glass of imported wine from the glittering steel bar and enjoy an evening amid strumming guitars while eavesdropping on the restless murmurs of tortured artists. Unleash your inner diva at one of the many open mic nights or catch the latest folk and jazz music from local and visiting artists.

Docks
Great views and cheap booze. This lively joint squats below a nondescript restaurant that shares its name. The ample riverside patio seating makes this lodge hangout a favorite amongst the local 20-somethings. Catch live jazz on Thursday nights, or get down to the DJ’s freshly mixed beats on the weekend.

Casino Sault Ste Marie
The Soo’s charity casino has a kitschy wilderness theme, where the roars of feral game have been replaced with the ambient swish of 450 slot machines. The gambling hall holds its own with two dozen gaming tables and a large restaurant.

SRO
Grab a martini from the swirling stainless-steel bar – the drinks are so large you can swim in them. Weekends are standing room only, so strap on the dance shoes and prepare to get down.

Madhouse Tavern Grill
A great place to relax and take a load off among warm, friendly chatter and cold beer. The dangling portraits of famous writers and artists have a swirling style similar to Dalí.

Towne House Tavern
You won’t find any cover band here – this beloved institution is all about Canadian indie from punk to gospel. It’s grungy and it’s right along the train tracks. Naturally.

Kangas Sauna
If you're looking to be pampered you've come to the wrong place. Think BYOB, as in 'bring your own bathing suit.' Well, actually, beer works too - Friday night at Kangas is a well-established social event. The saunas are private and can be hired for up to five hours, so go it alone, or grab a 'conference room' for you and your 'associates.'
Even if you're not in the mood to get steamy, Kangas has other amenities that might pique your interest: a public hot tub, a delicious dining area, tanning booths and even a hair salon.
