Grizzly Paw
Yes, it's a microbrewery (offering six year-round beers) and yes, it serves food (including wings, burgers and shepherd's pie), meaning this funky gastro-pub is a Rocky Mountain rarity.

O'Shea's Eatery & Ale House
With everything from Irish-style pub fare to steaks and pasta dishes, everyone will find something to chew on here. Hardwood floors, stained-glass windows and high ceilings give the meal a somewhat unneeded Gothic feel. There is a pub here, too, if you are looking for something more relaxed.

On summer evenings this is the most happening place in town. The patio overlooks the main drag – perfect for post-kayak recovery sessions. Dig into a prime rib sandwich and wash it back with a pint of Muskoka ale from the brewery just over the road.

Snooty Fox
Upscale pub food, with highlights such as Thai stir-fry or Steak and Guinness Pie, is notoriously good at this English-style pub popular with the university crowd. Service is friendly but slow and there's a nonsmoking section. Try the artery-hardening jalapeño poppers.

Duke of York
Admittedly it's a chain, yet the very Brit, student-filled Duke of York pub is the place for traditional ploughman's lunches, bangers and mash, Brick Lane curries, savory pies and, of course, fish and chips (wrapped in pages from a British daily!). Children are welcome upstairs.

Ye Olde Orchard Pub
Join hordes of chattering pubgoers for British Isles classics like bangers 'n' mash, fish and chips, Lancashire steak or Irish stout stew, all served to the strains of traditional Celtic music by kilt-clad waiters. As the night wears, the empty Guinness glasses pile up below the pubroom TVs.

Niche
This open-feeling restaurant has live jazz most nights during the summer and serves everything from grilled meats to pizzas to seafood jambalaya. The fake trees and wrought-iron detail make the inside feel like outside; there is dining next to real foliage on the patio when the weather is warm.

Molly's Kitchen
More of a pub than anything else, this cave of a place is filled with eclectic decor, and ceiling-high stacks of books. Out back is a quiet, green, backyard patio where you can enjoy homecooked soups, pastas and shepherd's pie as well as espresso, ice cream and a stiff drink. Just about everything is made from scratch.

Victory Café
Writers, artists, musicians, students and publishers shuffle down Markam St and congregate around the leafy Victory Café patio. There's a truly bohemian vibe here, with Tuesday-night poetry readings and jazz quartets regularly be-bopping it up. The food is pub-style – wings, steaks, curries and burgers – served with a minimum of fuss and washed down with a swathe of beers on tap.
