Those are terrible options listed above. For the beer lover and all within walking distance you have Phillips Brewing, Vancouver Island Brewing (personal favorite), and Hoyne Brewing (amazing local brewery). Moon Above Water is also close if you have the sobriety and desire, but isn't phenomenal. Canoe, Swan, and Lighthouse are also in the area. Let me tell you now. Best day in Victoria we had right there. Everything else is actually pretty boring. Miniature world - great if it was still the 1980s, Butchard Gardens - awesome if you have a vehicle, warf - great for an hour, Chinatown - good for 5 minutes. Beacon Hill Park is actually pretty cool, so props there, but seriously...beer. 20 posts in and no mention of the walkable breweries in the city? Shame on you CP, what is this? Basically, the pubs and live music are great at night. Everything else is actually quite boring and a waste of money. So just drink sample beer and actually have a fun time. Disclaimer: We were there a month ago and tried to fill 3 days...it was difficult.
