summer hours

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Hi everyone,

As of April 1st, 2011 we are reverting to our summer hours… which means we will be opening at 7:00pm instead of 5:00pm. We look forward to pouring your drink and watching you crash your jenga tower then.

Sincerly,

The Guilties

holy days!

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Listen up, buttercup,

The holidays are upon us. Everybody’s drunk. Weird Santas are roaming the streets. Here at Guilt & Co. we are celebrating by cracking two fresh seasonal beer casks next Wednesday December 22nd at 6:00 and 7:30pm consecutively. There is no better thing in this world than fresh beer. Fact.

Additional heads up: we are closed December 24-27th for the holy days. So if you need us, you’ll have to pray about it, cuz we’ll be snuggling with several cups of coffee and Bailey’s and reading books about distilling and fermenting and stuff.

We so look forward to seeing you on the 28th of December or any other future date.

Also, don’t forget our Night of Mystery Masquerade on NYE. There are still a few tickets left. Dancers! Live electronica! Circus performance! Masks! Bubby!

xoxo Miss Dani

halloweenzies

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

Well well… where can you get zombified? Hmmm… where can you go for a good time on Halloween without spending a fortune? Where can you maneuver a haunted obstacle course? The answer to all of the above is OUR HOUSE (Guilt & Co.)!! No cover, live spooky music, and we’re converting our rum tunnel! You can also get zombie makeup done so that no matter what your costume, you become undead.

Come out come out wherever you are!


the dark darkness

Friday, October 15th, 2010

Dear you,

Well, the days are getting shorter (and darker and colder) and we’re thinking a couple of things:
1) you want to be here earlier and more often, we know
2) you’re going to want some hot drinks and some comfort food, right?

So. As of Friday October 14th we are now open at 5:00pm! (woooooo hoooorahhhh!!) And nudge nudge: we will be launching a new menu very soon, and it will include hotness and heartiness galore.

Love,
me.


games games games

Saturday, October 2nd, 2010

Well i’m not sure if you’ll be as excited as i am about this: we have received some new games! Woot! WOOT! WOOT! Wanna know which? More little Jengas, Catan, The Game of Life Rockstar Edition, Clue 1949 Edition, Apples to Apples, and Trivial Pursuit 20th Century Edition!!!

Aren’t games cool? Did you know that some board games even predate literacy in the earliest civilizations? Well that’s what wikipedia says! The earliest recorded board game was found in an Egyptian tomb and dated 3500 B.C.

So it looks like we may have started a trend here at Guilt & Co. because there’s a (kind of) new coffee shop in Toronto called Snakes & Lattes where they do not allow laptops and have a collection of over 1500 board games! I have no idea who they could afford that many games. By my calculation those would have cost in the neighborhood of $45,000!! Anyway, kudos to them!

Well… i’m off to work. Come see me!

the upcoming olio festival

Sunday, September 19th, 2010

Hello friends and lovers of Guilt & Co!

We are so so excited to be a part of the upcoming Olio Festival! Olio features 45 events over 4 days and is a neighborhood crawl. Thursday is Gastown day, and we’re hosting a really exciting local show. Who can you see here? Well firstly we have a Pump Trolley Comedy show from 7:00 to 9:00pm. Following that there will be four amazing bands: Falcao & Monashee, The Abramson Singers, Lovers Love Haters, and Certain Breeds. Open til 1:00am. You can join the fun for $10 or for nothin if you have a festival wristband.

What else is the haps? The Chili Fest is coming up tomorrow. All of our neighbors are going to be having a massive cook-off. In fact, there is a giant taxidermic bison head being stored in our rum tunnel which is going to be put on display somewhere in CW tomorrow.

Thanks for reading,

Yours in guilt & pleasure,

Dani


1700 belgians

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

We’ve imported a boat load of beer from Belgium. Really top-quality stuff like Triple Karmliet, Cookie Beer, Brussels Apple Beer and La Blond Tradition to name a few. We’ve limited our order of each beer to 48 bottles. We’ve also special-ordered some schmancy cheeses that our chef has paired specifically with the flavours of the beer.

Each day at 1900 o’clock we will begin selling the pairings. These beers alone would normally cost you in the neighborhood of $10-$12 a bottle but we’ve worked a little deal where you can taste them AND the cheese for only $6.75!!

Expand your palate, educate your tongue, enjoy life.

xoxo Guilt & Co.
