Cadieux Cafe

4300 Cadieux 

      It's a Wednesday night, trivia ends and local bar starts to die down. It's midnight but you aren't ready to call it a night. Look no further than Cadieux Cafe! This past week, I was lucky enough to head back to Cadiuex Cafe after a 10 year(?) hiatus. I was pleasantly surprised that even on a Wednesday night the place was still significantly full, there was a list still forming for karaoke and groups were still starting new games of feather bowling.

     It's hard for me to pick one, or even two things to me that stand out as great and unique about Cadieux Cafe simply because everything is. Immediately upon walking in you can sense this place is not your usual run of the mill bar, restaurant, cafe... whatever you want to call it. The place is divided into two halves, the restaurant/bar area and the feather bowling lanes. The first half is dark, but homey with an Old Eastern European feel, which unfortunately, I did not get a picture of. Walk through a door in the wall and emerge on the other side squinting to the brightly lit feather bowling lanes. Take advantage of playing feather bowling! Cadieux Cafe is the only place in the US you can play. Go with people who know how to play or make up your own rules! I ended my night at Cadieux by splitting a pitcher of Belgian beer (pitchers are $8 after 10pm... who can say no to that?!) and karaoke to what else besides "Don't Stop Believin'". 

   Although I didn't get a chance to try them, Cadieux is also known for their mussels. ...I guess I'll just have to go back again. 

     So, if you're looking for a place to go "after hours" on a weeknight, play a game you can't play anywhere else in the US or meet some great people, check out Cadieux Cafe.
