Local Hot Spots

I've lived in Ottawa about 6 years now, so as much as I've had the chance to find some great joints, I'm also still always finding out about new and exciting local spots. If you're looking to hit up the town, here are some local spots you might want to check out*:

Kinki Sushi     41 York St     (613) 789-7559     www.kinki.ca/

In the heart of the market is Kinki Sushi, an Asian fusion restaurant that has managed to make quite a name for itself. Of particular interest is their naked sushi nights, where models are used as platters for the evening's meal.

Barefax     27 York St     (613) 562-1313     https://twitter.com/barefaxclub/
Does anyone not know Barefax? Yeah, didn't think so. Still wanted to give them a shout out here. And check it out: it's on the same block as Kinki Sushi. Could make for a very full night.

Bass Line Station     2557 Bassline Rd     (613) 721-7771     http://basslinestation.com/eventsCalendar.htm
It's hard to argue with a bar that has a pun as a name. They have an acoustic open mic every Wednesday and an electric open jam every Thursday.

NuDen     1560 Triole Street     (613) 745-4445     www.nuden.com/
This club is adjacent to the Adult Fun Superstore, making it just off St Laurent and pretty easy to find. Their site advertises "It’s an experience, a night out with benefits, an experience to be remembered. Cold nights always get hotter at The Nuden. With a fantastic floor show and a full menu, couples are always welcome." Keep an eye out for their theme nights, such as the men of Cuffs N' Collars and their 18th birthday bash.

The Playmate     175 Montreal Road     (613) 745-0449     theplaymate.ca/
Sweet 300     175 Montreal Road, Suite 300      (613) 745-9134     sweet300.ca/

The observant reader will notice that Sweet 300 is located in the same building as The Playmate. I'm hesitant to feature either of these places as I haven't heard much about them. That being said, a gentleman's club and an adult cinema / peep show definitely qualifies as interesting local spots.

A Little Local Lovin'

Rideau St is a strange and wonderful place, full of strange and wonderful people One of the many things Rideau has to offer is a Canada Computers retail store. I am far from computer savvy, but I can spot good service, and my better informed friends assure me their prices are equally impressive.

Recently, I had been slowly mulling over and dreading the cost of fixing my desktop. The staff at Canada Computers offered me a lot of free advice, gave me suggestions that saved me money (partially by preventing me from spending money on their diagnostics services), and even encouraged me to buy parts, test out if they fixed the problem, and return them if they didn't. Basically, I was really impressed, and wanted to give them a shout out for being awesome. It helps a lot that the manager has the sort of terrible sense of humour that I so readily enjoy.

Besides, I figure Canada Computers and Pleasures N' Treasures have a lot in common. After all, the prevalence of the personal computer makes it easy to watch porn privately. Especially speaking as a person with a roommate, I am quite pleased to have my desktop up and running again.
