Fun and entertainment Southwest

Open since the winter of 2018, this microbrewery is worth checking out. Located near the train station, straddling the Walkerville and Ford City neighborhoods, Chapter Two has set up a small tasting room adjacent to its brewing facilities. Among the house brews are its English ale with a malty flavor and a sweet caramel twist, and its West Coast IPA with citrus notes. Bonus: a gourmet menu and live entertainment.

Probably the best place in town to taste craft beers made in Ontario. More than 20 different beers from the province are on the menu, always including at least one cask beer. You'll find little gems from Bellwoods, Bench, Blood Brothers, Godspeed, The Exchange and Wellington, among others. For those who are a little peckish, a gastro-pub type menu is offered with a nice selection of regional or homemade products. A nice address to discover!

Definitely our best place in Windsor for coffee. Anchor sources coffee from Canadian roasters including Chance Coffee (Windsor, Ontario), Monogram and Phil & Sebastian (Calgary, Alberta). The place also concocts sweets (scones, cookies, etc.), some homemade breakfasts like the frittata, the scone-sandwich with fried egg or the vegetarian bagel, as well as on-the-go lunches (soups, salads, sandwiches, etc.), always fresh from the day. Accessories and coffees for sale on site and online.

Another good address in the Old East Village neighborhood is this small independent coffee shop. The place specializes inpour-over coffee, a highly fashionable trend in third-wave coffee shops, as well as espresso made with coffees from Ontario roaster Trebilcock Coffee Roasters Inc. 10Eighteen also offers homemade or artisanal food from local artisans, such as toast, breakfast sandwiches, healthy bowls, cinnamon buns, etc. Perfect for a break!
