Food Mart

Has Tailgaiting been covered yet??

The more involved your thread is the more likely I will buy you a beer anytime you want one!!!

Cheney:

Cheney doesn't have much in terms of...well...anything. There are a few nice bars on the main drag. Eagles Pub and Goofy's is where most of the locals hang out. Restraunts to consider are Zips (hamburger joint) and a few pizza places; Gato's and Rosa's, both have ok, but not great pizza. There are a couple of grocery stores in town and a liquor store that is open on Saturdays to get your fix. They are both right next to the entrance of town when coming from Spokane. All in one area there is Safeway, the liquor store, a mini mart, and Subway. This is probably your best bet in Cheney. There is a bus that runs between Spokane and Cheney about hourly I beleive and I posted that link already on the Travel thread.

Spokane:
Spokane is a different beast. Lots to do there.

Bars
Lots of great bars in Spokane. My favorite is right outside of Spokane in AirWay heights at the Quest Casino. It's called the Q and it boasts a 30 foot by 10 foot HD screen. It has great food and the casino offers lots of things to do. Here is a link to the casino. http://www.northernquest.com/

The Viking Tavern

This tavern has a great Pub feel and the food is great. Lots of beer on tap. ONe of my favorites.

Jack & Dan's Tavern
(509) 487-6546
1226 N Hamilton St, Spokane, WA 99202
This bar is on the edge of the Gonzaga campus and is run by John Stockton's father. A must visit for basketball fans.

Red Lion BBQ & Pub
(509) 835-5466
126 N Division St, Spokane, WA
Great food and bar. This is owned by local hockey player. There are about four bars right around this one to so it is a good central spot.

There are lots of bars all over Division which is on the main drag in Spokane. I have not lived in Cheney/Spokane for about four years so I am sure some others will be added to the list.

Food
There are lots of chains all over Spokane, here are some things that are a little out of the box. I am sure others will chime in too!

Dick's Hamburgers (509) 747-2481
10 E 3rd Ave, Spokane, WA
Dicks Burger is the best burgers for Cheap. It is right downtown in Spokane and a must see. If you remember Sir Mixalot "Dick's is the place where the cool hang out."


If you are hanging in airway Heights at the Casino there is a longHorn BBQ that is awesome! There is one in Spokane to.

Hotels

I don't know much about Hotels in the area. Some others will help me out. Priceline or Motels.com is your friend.

Quest Casino has a very nice resort and casino. There is a hotel called the Stratford Suites that is very close to the casino that offers a shuttle and is much cheaper. It has Suite style rooms. Two queen bed seperate rooms with a shared living room.

Holiday Inn's in Cheney and in Spokane.

Red Lions on each side of Division in Spokane

Other things to consider:
http://blog.spokanedivebars.com/
There is a dive bar party bus that is for rent somewhere in Spokane. I contacted my friend to get the info. You can load all your rowdy friends on a bus, drink on the bus, and they take you to about five or six dive bars during the course of the night. Kind of a cool thing. Not sure on the cost but I will find out for you.

I hope this helps. Like is said, its been a while and I am sure others will chime in! Thanks again for making the trip. I look forward to meeting many of you.:bow:
