Nightlife

Fredericton's downtown is often lively with university students and young professionals after-hours. Lunar Rogue, 625 King St. (tel. 506/450-2065), features more than 50 whiskeys and 14 draft beers in a comfortable, pubby atmosphere. Tuesday is nacho night, which lures out the local folks in droves.

Finally, Dolan's Pub, 349 King St. (tel. 506/454-7474), is your best bet for live Maritime music, which is on tap every Thursday through Saturday. Also on tap is the city's largest selection of microbrews. Don't miss the barrel of free peanuts.
