Hey, I know we've got a few Barrie guys in here, so maybe I can get some help.
My birthday is coming up in a few weeks and as a man with multiple insured cars, and climate controlled house, I already have everything. What I would really like, is a night without the dog so the wife and I can go to Barrie and I can spend a few hours and $$$ in Cabelas, then a night out on the town.
Wondering what some of the best restaurants and bars are that we should check out?? We're not fancy at all, we mostly like pub food.. Might be considered borderline foodies though, so we're looking for damn good. Wife is already eyeballing some place called pie, but I'm not a big pizza guy. (unless its awesome)
Then later I'd like to check out some bars with lots on tap, maybe a live band or sports on at the beginning of the night. After that, if I'm drunk enough (duh) we'd maybe go somewhere to shake our asses. Prefer hip-hop music, know its an impossible goal, like 90's club music, will settle for top 40.
Anyway, suggest!!

You aren't going to impress the wife in Barrie, downtown is a shithole. I try to not go there. Take her to Blue instead.

Really?! Would Collingwood still be good even though its summer? Was thinking about going back to Toronto, but its supposed to be all fucked this weekend.. Carribana?!?
Collingwood is as busy (if not more) in the summer than it is in the winter. That's where I'd go.

That spa is awesome. Hot/cold pools, steam rooms, hammocks, campfires, etc. Its real nice.
My wife and I go up to Blue several times a year, more so in the summer. Hiking, biking, some shopping, bars, etc. They even have a shuttle to a beach on Georgian Bay that they own.

i've been going up to blue in the summer for the last 8 years. just chill in the village, go for hikes, dine at some of the restaurants, soak in the pool, and ya, if you're ok with strangers touching your body, the scandinave spa is hear is pretty good.
we go as a big group as an excuse to get everyone together, but honestly, they've been jacking up the prices every year.

It's not a cheap place to go that's for sure.

Why not? Just grab your flag, jump, and if you feel so inclined, wave.
