Spokane Doesn't Suck

People think Spokane sucks. They're wrong.
Situated on E Sprague just east of Division, Jones Radiator offers 16 taps of craft beers. SIXTEEN BEERS ON TAP! And they’re good beers at that. They also have a good wine selection, live music from time to time, and you’ll likely be able to score a free parking spot on the street outside.
In case you failed to read between the lines, a place with 16 taps of craft beers doesn’t suck.

I’m putting on a DIY arts and music fest at Coeur d’Alene Park in Browne’s Addition in Spokane this Thursday. It will run from 3:30-8:00, and is completely free. If any of you reading this would like to be involved somehow, let me know.

At the gazebo! An afternoon filled with…
We’ve got a river running directly through the middle of downtown. That doesn’t suck.

The live music options in Spokane don’t suck.

Grilled cheese sandwiches don’t suck, and when you make them in a food cart and put the word “gourmet” before it… Well… you know.

Taken with instagram - The French Onion Sammie was Deeeevine! Really. This is one of my favorite new stops in Spokane. I had my doubts while they were working out the kinks, but they kick some serious arse.
If you haven’t been to Mommy G’s food truck in Spokane, your loss, my gain.

The Magic Lantern Theatre on Main downtown absolutely rules.
They live up to their self-proclaimed role as “Spokane’s premier independent movie theater” by showing indie films that you won’t be able to see anywhere else in town… and all tickets are just $7.00.
Not only do you get to enjoy great films at Magic Lantern, you can also enjoy Doma coffee products and various Madeleine’s baked goods, both of which probably deserve their own SDS post.
Indie theaters (or theatres) that show really good films for $7.00 do not suck.

The Vault Social Club & Eatery is another soon-to-be-opened spot that hopefully won’t suck. There’s reason to believe it won’t suck, considering some light reading on their facebook page will tell you that they’ve got a fancy-pants menu, and more importantly they may have a dance floor.
Also their branding is pretty good, which further points to the fact that they probably won’t suck.
HT to @allyshoshana for pointing us to this puppy.

Saranac Public House

Remember back when we said that Isabella’s didn’t suck? Well I guess we were wrong because they closed down (guess their happy hour was too good to pay the bills).

Fortunately, the promise of what’s to come really doesn’t suck: Saranac Public House.

They promise to have more micros on tap, and loads of organic and vegan edibles as well as traditional pub food. Everyone wins.

Check out their facebook page for the latest on when they’ll actually open.

Saranac Public House (hopefully) doesn’t suck.

Naked Bike Ride

In the likely event that you never got around to actually reading the latest copy of The Inlander you picked up, chances are you missed the tid-bit pictured above.

Naked (or near-naked) bike rides don’t suck, and we think it’d be awesome to get a group together for a little ride around town.

Who would be in?
