Laugh Your Tonsils Off!

Sydney Island Venison Week

Friday, October 15 signals the beginning of "Sydney Island Venison Week" at The Cascade Room.

In cooperation with Two Rivers Specialty Meats, Chef Travis Williams has brought in a whole deer from Sydney Island and butchered & processed it all 'in house'.

Trained in the art of butchery, Chef Williams will be using his skills to prepare nightly features for our venison loving friends.

Features include:
Friday & Saturday Night: Venison Loin Features
Sunday: Roast Venison
Monday: Venison burgers
Tuesday: Venison Pot Pie
And all week, Venison Ragu.

Wash it all down with a pint of Guinness on a rainy Vancouver night, or if you prefer something lighter, try our popular Main Street Pilsner.

Two Rivers Specialty Meats is a purveyor of fine meats that are free of antibiotics, hormones and chemical feed additives.

East Side Laughs: October 5 & 12

EASTSIDE LAUGH: A Night At The Cascade

By Anna Killen

It’s no secret that Vancouver’s comedy scene has been hot for a while. Up and down Main St, on most nights of the week, people are doing funny things onstage. Paul Anthony’s Talent Time at the Biltmore, Sunday Service at the Hennessey, Bronx Cheer and practically anything that happens at the China Cloud - all fun times, right? Well, now there is another comedy night to fit into your schedule of laughter.

Northern Transmissions’ Eastside Laughs made its debut on Tuesday, September 7 at the Cascade Room on Main St. Organized by Charles Browstein, an aspiring stand-up comedian who is also putting together a documentary about the secret lives of comedians (every comedian has a dark side, he says), the night showcases a healthy mix of amateur and professional stand-up acts from across Vancouver.

Karen and Nigel:

On behalf of Kyle, Owen and Rob, I wanted to thank both of you (and your terrific staff) for a great evening on Monday. The drinks and appie were delicious and having the question that involved the naming the ingredients in the cocktail was absolutely inspired.

We really do appreciate how much work you both put into putting the quiz together as well as the support you give a variety of worthwhile charities. You guys are a class act!

Enjoy your quizless Mondays for the next few weeks. Rob and Owen will be out of town, but Kyle and I look forward to seeing you in mid-October.

You guys rock (like a Beatles song).

Julie

A Most Unusual Evening Of Frivolity

Come down this Wednesday 28th July from 6pm -10pm for a Hendrick's Gin party, circa 1920, 'A Most Unusual Evening Of Frivolity' with period characters, music and most importantly some free samples of Hendrick's gin cocktails

The World Cup's Over - Bring On The World Cup!

A full-house for the World Cup Final.

And so the World Cup 2010 has drawn to a close. We want to say a big thankyou to all who came and got their footie fix at Cascade this past month.

A Cup filled with controversy… and just for the record that was a goal!!! We had some really good turnouts for games, especially for the England games and the knockout stage games, creating a wicked atmosphere.

Pre-game anticipations.

Dutch fans downed clog-draped Grolsch's.

Arjen Robben can't believe the large Dutch contingent at The Cascade Room (or how the hell he missed an open net).

Finally someone scores!

We look forward to being a genuine venue in Vancouver to catch future football tournaments and the forthcoming Rugby World Cup 2011 in New Zealand. See you then!

World Cup Final This Sunday

So, after a month of World Cup Football, we're down to 2 remaining teams fighting it out for all the glory. Will it be the "Reign of Spain" or will Oranje be taking the cup back to Dam Square?

Either way it's going to be a great game so make sure you get here early to ensure a seat.

It's also the last chance to savour our "World Cup Subs-Benches" Both the gin lead Dutch shot and the brandy forward Spanish shots have been hugely popular (no wonder both teams made the final) - so get on down and drink to your favourite team!

Holland v Spain: Sunday July 11.
Doors 10am • Kickoff - 11:30am • See you Sunday!

C'mon You England! Frank Sidebottom's "2010 World Cup Theme Song" for England!

England v Slovenia: Cascade on City TV Breakfast.

With England standing on the brink needing a win to advance from the Group Stage of the World Cup, it was a nervous early morning gathering at Cascade on Wednesday - made just a little bit more nerve racking as we had CTV Breakfast cameras joining us for interviews and to catch the reaction to goals scored! Though as the video shows, they may have had a touch of trouble trying to be heard above the drums, whistling and general cheering - just imagine if we'd been allowed to serve alcohol at that hour of the day!

"The final whistle goes - Let the celebrations begin!"

Luckily for the England fans who packed in for the 7am kick-off, the 1-0 scoreline was enough to send them through to the Round of 16 and sets up a Sunday morning game - 7am again, damnit!!! So, come and cheer England on with us as they battle Germany in a knock-out game (just don't mention the war). See you there!!!
