Yes, the nightclub in the livery building is still the Eldorado. There is a really good restaurant upstairs called the Wood.[/quote:690jfdgm]

The Wood is on the hill now in the Griz Inn.

The nightlife in Fernie is pretty limited but here is a bit of low-down:

Most of the locals go to the [b:690jfdgm]Fernie[/b:690jfdgm] since the ‘Northern’s gone now. has pool table. (has smoking room)

[b:690jfdgm]The Pub[/b:690jfdgm] (Park Place Lodge) gets a little of everyone but closes earlier than all the rest so then everyone moves on somewhere else. has pool tables and fooseball. gets very busy! (has smoking room)

[b:690jfdgm]The Eldorado[/b:690jfdgm] is either packed full of people or there’s no one there and its narrow and yeah it does stink and the sound sucks bad! Usually way too loud and distorted. However they do get some good bands in there so watch out for those nights. (no smoking)

[b:690jfdgm]The Central[/b:690jfdgm] again gets a little of everyone but usually a more sophisticated crowd. It has a very nice interior and is probably my favorite place to go. They have pool tables and fooseball. (no smoking)

[b:690jfdgm]The Royal[/b:690jfdgm] is alright, can get pretty busy though so you might wnat to get there early. The only thing about the Royal is its a bitch to get a drink cause there is this huge rock pillar in the way and they have too many tables in there. Usually there is a Jam night on Thursdays. (smoking on balcony)

The is a new bar, i forget what its called, thats opened where the old ‘Northern’ used to be. Its all been redone this summer although i havent set foot in there yet, its supposed to be much much nicer. (prob no smoking)

** Remember there is no smoking in bars and restaurants in BC unless there is a completely seperate room with ventaliation designed for smoking.
