Make sure to bring a jacket into the theatre when it's a popular movie as they tend to rev up the ac with more attendance, and sound can feel loud if you're an old millennial like me!

Though I've complained about this numerous times, their usually 16-year-old staff don't seem to have a care, and blow you off. I'm in the projection business, so I know what I'm talking about. Avoid this cinema ifyou can - the owners clearly don't care about your viewing experience. There's another Galaxy in Guelph, and one in Cambridge and two in KW. Worth the drive so you can actually see what's on the screen.

I love Guelph. This bookstore has the worst staff I have ever encountered in any local business.

I was horrified to hear the staff berating a woman who had her mask down in the store. The ignorant staffer asked if she had a virology degree and insisted that a cloth mask was mandatory even though the woman had put it back up. Even Fauci at this point has said cloth masks don't stop the spread of this virus. It's disturbing that staff can be belligerent to customers as mandates are about to be dropped literally tomorrow. Never will I shop here again.

The E-bar was the location for my networking reception during an event this past weekend…read more I can't comment much on the actual food they may provide, but from what was offered in the reception, I enjoyed the food very much. They had a large selection of cheese varieties available ranging from camembert to blue cheese, as well as assorted veggies with dipping sauce, grilled flatbread, and homemade panko-crusted meatballs. The event space was large and overall decent, although the seating could've been arranged better, as the booths were quite tight considering our party. The acoustics were also quite loud, and voices were bouncing off the walls like crazy, which made conversations quite difficult. Other than that, the bar did a very good job accompanying us, and my group was satisfied with the night overall.

We walked upstairs to find an empty dance floor and a few randomly scattered patrons. Okay - so not exactly the lovely atmosphere we were hoping for... But nonetheless, since we were more about getting a nice drink - we thought we'd at least stay for one. Sigh. We were disappointed. We watched one table get menus and then patently waited for ours. They did not come. We thought, "...perhaps the dozen or so people here might be overwhelming? So let's wait a little longer shall we? Unfortunately that did not help. I finally went over to the bar and asked for a menu. I was matter-of-factly told that there was no table service on Fridays. We weren't quite sure why - seeing as the waiter to patron ratio was approximately 1:4. We thought we'd just cut our losses - and were getting up to leave - when the waitress later popped by with a menu - saying, "I thought you were waiting for people..." Wow - really?? This review was written from a lovely bar just down the street which does in fact provide table service on Friday night.

RATING FOR OUTDOOR SCULPTURE GARDEN…read more We were in Guelph for hubby's work assignment; and as a good Yelper/budget tourist, I had to scope out interesting and free spots to explore in the city. It was a holiday weekend so the museum itself was closed; but the outdoor sculpture garden is always open, even on holidays and weekends. The Donald Forster Sculpture Park takes up 2 1/2 acres, and is the "largest sculpture park at a public gallery in Canada, featuring 39 works by prominent Canadian and international artists" - website. There are many trees to shade you from the sun, but only a few places to sit if you want to rest. I adore outdoor sculpture gardens because they combine art and beautiful landscaping. The sculptures were easy to locate since they were in the museum's perimeter. I was happy that I able to find all of them without much effort; and since they were positioned close together, I could take my time admiring each piece. Make sure to download a map from their website http://artgalleryofguelph.ca/education_list/sculpture-park/ My favorite sculpture was Evan Penny's "Mask" 1989 (bronze). It's an optical illusion: watch my video and you'll understand why it is my favorite https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sQE9JuasZ7buV4FYJG860g?select_video=p4ikSjC4h0eBetLExs1ANQ&utm_source=oshare&ref=yelp-android. I had a lovely time strolling through this beautiful outdoor sculpture garden. Next time I'll have to visit the indoor art gallery as well; it's also free!
