The date

The Irish Times claims the largest Irish whiskey selection in Canada, and since nobody has stepped up to argue, you may as well believe them. The two-storey heritage room on Bastion Square runs live Celtic music seven nights a week, with a proper session on Sundays. Let your date pick a whiskey neither of you can pronounce, split it, and lean in until 1am.

How to do it

Grab a small table near the band, the live Celtic players go every night, and Sunday's the proper trad session. Dare each other to order a whiskey neither of you can pronounce off Canada's biggest list and split it. Doors stay open to 1am, so lean in over the fiddle for a couple of hours and let the music decide when you leave. Bastion Square's right outside for the slow walk after.
