    Jack & Dan's Bar & Grill

    Grab a beer and watch the game at Jack & Dan's Bar & Grill. It is a classic sports bar right on the edge of Gonzaga University, perfect for soaking up the local energy before heading out. The atmosphere is packed and lively, especially if there is a game on.

    Riverfront Park

    Walk to Riverfront Park to find your spot. The park was the host of the 1974 World's Fair and is beautifully maintained. Find a seat near the river and its waterfalls to watch the sun set toward the WSW. The view of the Spokane Falls is best from here as the light fades.

    Gilded Unicorn

    Head to The Gilded Unicorn for dinner. This basement restaurant has a speakeasy and medieval feel with brick walls and paintings. The unicorn theme integrates flawlessly, and it is a great place to enjoy a meal after the cold evening air.

    O'Doherty's Irish Grille

    End the night at O'Doherty's Irish Grille. It is a place to gather, chat, and tip a pint. Enjoy the Guinness and Harp on tap. If it is a Tuesday night, you might catch some live Irish music, adding a final touch of local flavor to your evening.
