Wind Cries Mary is a red-brick cocktail bar on Bastion Square where the menu is laid out like a forest, so you pick a drink by whether you want leaves (floral) or roots (earthy). It has made a Spirited Awards regional top ten for international restaurant bars in Canada. The kitchen is serious about its fried chicken, which makes this a good first stop that tends to become the whole night.

“But if you’re here for one thing, it’s the fried chicken—a shimmering spectacle of crackly poultry, semolina puffs, and bread-and-butter pickles that karate chop through the heft.”
