Halloween Movie Night

A Grand Prize from Grand Marnier

Congratulations to The Cascade Room's Dale Styner who yesterday won himself an all expenses paid, 4 day trip to the City of Lights, Paris.

Dale's creation, "Le Grand Ponte" took out the top prize in the Grand Marnier Cocktail Competition, hosted by the Canadian Professional Bartenders Association, beating out some stiff competition from a slew of Vancouver's best known bars.

Not a bad way to start off the working week! Well done Dale.

Kayak For A Cure

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us in "Kayak For A Cure". The event was all about participation and raising awareness, and Vancouver turned on a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning to get everyone in the spirit.

We were proud to be a part of "Team Ernie", along with our friends at Lark and We Are Local and are extremely thankful for the generous donations made through the sale of Main Street Beer at El Camino's, Habit Lounge, The Union, The Cascade Room and Portland Craft.

Movember Party This Sunday

Bittered Sling Bistro

A big thanks to Lauren Mote and Chef Johnathan Chovancek of Kale & Nori for hosting the second "Bitter Sling Bistro" event at Legacy Liquor Store. Featuring Cascade's (and soon to be The Union's) own Arthur Wynne, the bartending challenge last night was to create cocktails using Maker's Mark bourbon to pair with the evening's food.

The drinks Arthur prepared started with a cocktail of Makers Mark, fig gastrique, roasted yam puree and prosecco; followed for the main course with: Makers Mark, chamomile simple syrup, thai basil leaves, cilantro, lime and soda water; and finishing off for dessert with Makers Mark, okanagan apple compote with cracked long pepper, apple juice, cigar infused cream, flame spritzed with ceylon cinnamon infused rum.

So, we may be a little biased, but we think Arthur did a brilliant job!

Bitter Sling Bistro is a twice monthly event. Check out their site for info about upcoming events.

The Cascade Room Updates

A couple of "house-keeping" notes.

1). Both The Cascade Room and Habit Lounge are now taking bookings for the holiday season. If you're interested in booking your party at either place, please contact Nigel at nigel@thecascade.ca for full details.

2). As of January 2011, Main Street Pilsner Quiz Nights at The Cascade Room will be bi-weekly. Please check back for official dates.

3). East Side Laughs is currently on hiatus.

Coats For Kids: November 15 - 30.

Got a spare coat that you no longer need? Well, there's plenty of kids who would love it - especially with the cold weather approaching! So why not drop it off at The Cascade Room and we'll make sure it goes to help a kid stay warm this winter. And it's not just coats - we'll gladly accept blankets and other warm clothing as well.
