Ok so recently Toronto Life ran a article about best spots to grab a drink in Toronto. Well I'm wondering what's the scoop for everyone in Hamilton? Please send us your suggestions....

Also in the meantime here's a nice cocktail reciepe from the LCBO

Ingredients

Now I don't know about you but I usually prefer to go get my morning coffee at a independent coffee spot but if you can't and have to goto a Starbucks you may want to read these to save some cash!

First off if you want a cappucino order a short size one according to Salon its cheaper and better!

and this article has a slew of tips. Big tip from this one, coffee refills .50 cents!

Also at the end of the day you could always do what these guys did and grow some mushrooms!

Yes Yes Y'all this coming Wednesday Feb 15 at Casbah is gonna be Phife Dawg from the legenday Tribe Called Quest. (Twitter Heads go here @IamthePHIFER)As a side note I saw this cat back in the day and yeah he knows how to rock the crowd! Much love to those kids at Steel Gold cause if you love hiphop in this city you know they do it up every Thursday!

Oh and as a side note RokBar is closed till Feburary 17/2012. Goto Viva in the meantime!

Good stuff and we hope it works out cause I'm kinda hyped to see people putting in effort into this spot!
