Spyce Up Your Winter

BY LAUREN CHARLEY

Imagine witnessing the breathtaking view of fresh-fallen snow as it settles on top of the Fallsview Casino’s iconic dome, and is illuminated by the multicoloured lights which decorate the property, while curled up with your favourite drink.

Warm up this winter at Spyce Lounge- an upscale, urban cocktail bar, which provides a relaxing yet lively atmosphere to enjoy the beautiful tourist destination of Niagara Falls.

Conveniently located inside The Hilton Hotel, across the street from the casino, and within walking distance to numerous restaurants, Spyce is a sophisticated and intimate lounge environment to enjoy fine cocktails.

Catering to a mature crowd of all ages, the lounge is a trendy space to hang out, socialize and listen to live entertainment, seven nights a week.

What started as a lobby bar for guests inside The Hilton has transformed into one the hottest social spots in Niagara Falls’ entertainment district. Guests of the hotel, visitors, locals, and businesspeople come together to form an eclectic mix of clientele in a unique ambiance away from the touristic chaos.

Inside the lounge, deep purple and grey are accentuated by sparkling silver decor, setting Spyce apart from other venues in the city. From the shimmering gold bar top, to the leather furniture, to

the grand chandelier, you’ll be immersed in a classy yet casual setting to drink and dine alone, or in the company of others.

Management selects the best and most passionate performers to entertain customers, with a mix of genres from Rock n’ Roll, to R & B, to Hip Hop. Always maintaining a lively atmosphere, Spyce has earned its reputation as one of the area’s best music venues.

This fall and winter in the evenings from Sunday-Tuesday, you’re likely to hear acoustic covers and originals by Canadian Singer and Songwriter, Mike Sarcino.

During the evenings Wednesday-Friday, you’ll enjoy a changing mix of live music, and Saturday you’ll hear three shows by performers daily from 1pm-1am.

Playing regularly, you may see the Bryan Sorensen Trio. These talented three play everything from Snoop Dog to Justin Timberlake, and amaze spectators with Sorensen’s talents on the talkbox.

Listen to XPRIME, one of the hottest local cover bands who have been playing at the lounge for over a year, never failing to get a crowd on the dance floor. XPRIME will be the featured band for Spyce Lounge’s 2018 New Year’s Eve party.

When you seek out a place to watch a game in an environment far more upscale than a noisy sports bar, Spyce streams major sporting events including hockey, football, and soccer on televisions around the lounge. With two large screen TVs and a giant screen behind the bar, there’s plenty of options to watch your favourite match.

When you’re looking for a delicious meal or tasty snack, the lounge serves an upscale spin on the classic bar favourites. On weekends their kitchen offers their full menu on Friday for 4pm -11pm from12pm- 11pm on Saturday.

Sample tasty appetizers such as coconut shrimp, calamari, and antipasto platters. Hearty burgers and sandwiches are made with ingredients to please any foodie, accompanied by house cut, truffle, or sweet potato fries. There is something to please every appetite, including healthy options such as the Quinoa Protein Boost Salad, packed with nutritious ingredients and full of flavour.

“Everyone loves the nachos, and they’ve earned a reputation as the

best in town. I’d say they’re enough to feed a family of twelve,” boasts Brad Hunter, Assistant Manager. He’s right- they are piled high with toppings and perfect to suffice the late night munchies.

During the week, Sunday through Thursday 12pm-11pm and Friday 12pm-4pm, The Bistro Menu offers a selection of lighter fare including wraps, paninis, quesadillas, and 12” Artisan pizzas.

Illuminated presentably behind the bar, you’ll find an extensive selection of alcohol, including top shelf bottles such as Don Julio and Patron. Spyce is known for their delicious and innovative cocktails and martinis, with an array of premium spirits and liqueurs to make almost any creation possible.

Unique to Spyce are their mixologists who share a synonymous sense of passion for the drinks they prepare. From the blend of ingredients to the presentation, the bartenders provide the ultimate beverage, and will tailor your drink to suit your preferences upon request. Like a pastry chef who prepares their desserts as a work of art, every cocktail is decorated and served to visual perfection.

This fall and winter, look for featured seasonal beverages such as the Spiced Sangria and winter-themed cocktails and martinis. Using ingredients like Candy Canes, marshmallows, and signature holiday treats, the mixologists love coming up with one-of-a kind drinks in the spirit of winter celebrations.

Always offering a selection of draught beers, the options on tap change every few months to feature various craft breweries in the Niagara Region. Vino enthusiasts will love the array of both local and international wines, ice wines, and sparkling wines available by the glass or bottle.

Spyce Lounge is the perfect place to warm up when you venture out into the cold this winter. The unbeatable proximity to amenities, accommodations, entertainment, and places to dine, are all within enclosed walking distance. There’s no need to bundle up and dread the snow and ice when the elegant gaming facility, the Fallsview Casino Resort, is only steps away under a covered walkway. Enjoy the magic of the winter wonderland and the picturesque view from the comfort of your table inside Niagara’s hot spot- Spyce Lounge.
