I wasn't sure what to expect. It was my first experience with a Cabernet show. The description when…read morewe bought tickets gave very little details only that it may contain a variety of acts and some political humor. What we got to see was nothing short of brilliant. The sketches were done with simple costumes and lighting, yet the presentation was really well played out. We laughed our way through and even had moments of sad reflection that made you feel as if they knew exactly what we needed to see and hear in order to leave feeling a little lighter because someone else understood your pain. It was a cathartic experience and one that well rounded out our exciting adventure into Victoria. Don't be disappointed when you pull up and see the front entrance to the location. It doesn't carry curbside appeal, but trust me the act is worth seeing. We bought VIP ticket seats, which didn't prove to be much better than the regular. But we were lucky to have a comfy sofa to sit on.

Expect brilliant sketch comedy, gutsy up close and personal chats with God (who is - of course - a transvestite) and musical reenactments of anything you never thought could be done as a musical. To enjoy you should have seen Flash Dance and have a fairly good working knowledge of Canadian political figures (or be willing to laugh anyway). Rebel Rebel (585 Johnson) usually has tickets which tend to sell out quickly.

The set pieces, the choreography and the talent of these young actors was great to see. They're obviously doing something right as the entire theatre was packed all the way to the back balcony. I've seen a few different productions at the McPherson over the years and have always been pleased with the productions. The theatre is clean and the seats are comfortable enough. There isn't much to say about this theatre besides go see a play, musical or whatever performance they're putting on! It's in a great location, just on the outside of China Town. Highly recommend you checking out a show.

The theatre is located near tons of shops, attractions, etc., so it's easy to work into your schedule. In fact, it was a short walk from our bus stop after returning from Butchart Gardens. It was early evening on a Monday so the tickets were inexpensive and the theatre was nearly empty. They have bar with plenty of snack and drink options but we opted out of any extras. The seating was comfortable and a gentleman even came out on stage before the movie to talk a bit about the theatre, film fest and the movie itself. The movie was lovely and went uninterrupted and without the slightest glitch. The Vic Theatre is a charming movie theatre with a lot of history and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely stop in and give it a try.

They had a decent concession going with all the usual suspects. The staff were all very nice and friendly. They seemed to be music enthusiasts themselves, which was nice. Bathrooms are small and old. They need an update. The theatre itself has a lot of character but the floor is very uneven and at such a steep angle to get from the back rows to the front row that I don't see how it's up to code. It seems especially hazardous given the demographic is predominantly elderly.

One of Victoria's favourite nights out dancing the night away to Spice Girls, TLC and Backstreet Boys. Beware the long lines though. Make sure to get you and your pals on guest list to avoid the lines. The staff at Lucky are awesome and I've seen them put up with a lot. As most bar staff usually do when dealing with hundreds of intoxicated guests. The bartenders are all super friendly and efficient. Make sure to ask them to do a shot out of the shot-ski. The bar itself is fairly small. There's one large bar and the dance floor fills up fairly quickly. Hence why there are such long lines. I found that whenever I went to Lucky's I ran into tons of people I knew. Maybe that's just the university scene though. I haven't been to a 90's night in forever and I kind of miss it. Maybe on my next trip to Victoria?

The bar is a great place. I was visiting from Los Angeles, CA and came to Victoria for the first…read moretime. I was shocked by how friendly the staff and people were. I was talking to the bartenders, patrons, and bouncers and they were all very friendly. I was just gonna stay in my hotel room and I was glad to have such a welcoming experience. HOWEVER, please watch out for two people that said their names are Dominique and Joey. I was trying to be friendly with them and as a common courtesy, got the first round. The bartender even made a local Victorian drink (which tasted like chocolate milk). However, when the bar closed, we went next door to get more drinks. I figured, common courtesy, someone else will get the next round, but we got separate tabs. When the bill came, the two ran out. The local that introduced me to them paid for their bill, but I gave a $20 USD and hope that was enough to cover their share. The bar is a great place and I would definitely go back. As a person who comes from the pretentious city of LA (and is always cautious of being hustled), I have never had such a genuine introduction to Canadians. However, please watch out for those two. I loved how the bar even had a pay it forward drink chalk board. You can prepay for drinks for future patrons. Had I stayed longer, I was going to buy drinks for the people I met there (and would have been a great Thank you for the locals since I was only there for one night). However, do watch out for these two scammers. I would never want what had happen to me happened to other visitors. Despite this, continue to support Lucky Bar as the staff is fantastic.
