[Mr.YGuy]

Omg, those are so awsome! Seriously the night shots are very glorious. The city just can't look that great in reality! The second last one is my favorite. Did you photo shop them?

[KevinFromTexas]

Beautiful pictures.

[Xing]

Awesome photos!

The car showoffs are annoying. Every city has them.

[Boris]

Very nice dude.

[SteelTown]

:worship: :worship: :worship:

THANK YOU! Finally night shots of Hamilton. Awesome! Nigh shots of Hess Village is even better. Such a rarity to find night shots of Hamilton.

Betcha a lot of people don't know about the nightlife of Hess Village. This thread should help inform others.

One of my friend is a waitress at Gown and Gavel so had I've gotten a few free drinks haha

Once again thanks flar!

[Evergrey]

beautiful photos... anyone aggressively ask you why you were taking pictures?

[flar]

I use GIMP to process my photos but I don't do anything drastic, just basic stuff like levels and sharpening.

beautiful photos... anyone aggressively ask you why you were taking pictures?

No, the atmosphere in Hess Village is pretty laid-back. Security staff from several of the bars asked me if I was from the media. They have to be careful about negative publicity from the local media. They were all good about it and I even chatted with some of the staff and got some free stuff.

[denveraztec]

Excellent photos! Hess Village looks like the place to be at during the evenings. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[Austinlee]

Steel mills and Lamborghinis.. Fabtabulous.

[DC83]

Mmmmmmmmm...

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k28/segaert/night/00254.jpg

Side Bar + Street Meat = One Great Night Out in Hess!!!

Awesome, Flar! Now ppl can see that not only does Hamilton have great neighbourhoods & buildings, but that there are also great PEOPLE in these great neighbourhoods & buildings!!!

[matt602]

Yup. The hot dogs ain't bad either!

[Hammer Town]

I saw the Lamborghini cookin down the 403 in ancaster last weekend saturday night. Nice shots of hess at night. Ill be honest I have never done night shots off the Jolly Cut before to afraid of some throwing something out a car window at me. I might do it sone night anyway.

Nice photos over all.

Hey Flar where do you go for your camera needs?

[Urbanguy]

Excellent photos of this rarely seen city. These are probably the most impressive pics of the city i've seen so far. Thanks for sharing.

[matt602]

Hey Flar where do you go for your camera needs?

I can't talk on behalf of flar, but I would suggest Bell Arte on Ottawa St. or Henrys in Ancaster.

[LAsam]

I see you spotted WZ1's Lambo outside of Elixir, nice. I see so much of the Hammer on this site I practically feel like I live there! Which isn't necessarily a bad thing...

[newstl2020]

Absolutely stunning. Those lights are to die for.

[ady26]

Great night life, and girls, and Lamborghinis!

[Chelsea Spy]

splendid pics - fat women, tacky bars, lurid cars - marvellous!

[excel]

Those are some great pictures.

[flar]

Hey Flar where do you go for your camera needs?

I can't talk on behalf of flar, but I would suggest Bell Arte on Ottawa St. or Henrys in Ancaster.

Both those places, and eBay. There's also Burlington Camera and another one on Concession St.

[the dude]

booya! you nailed it. that's as close as i get to hess these days. that's when you know you're old and boring.

[Top Of The Park]

...keep them coming

[DC83]

What time at night were the Hess Village ones taken, Flar?
Seems pretty slow for Hess... esp now that Mac & Mohawk are back in full swing!
Did u happen to catch any nighttime action shots along Augusta St??

[rousseau]

splendid pics - fat women, tacky bars, lurid cars - marvellous!
You've just described nightlife in Hamilton to a tee! Well, save for the "lurid" cars, perhaps.

I've always loathed Hess Village. On warm weekends it's filled with frat boy types and general losers whose only purpose is to get drunk and fight. There may be one or two bars/pubs in the Village that aren't filled with hefty heifers in jean skirts of the sort you see in these photos, but I don't know where they are, and I don't care.

If you have even the slightest inkling toward non-mainstream revelry or alcoholic imbibing then you need to give the Village a miss and head on over to Augusta. Specifically, the Winking Judge. I think the Judge is the only place in Hamilton (Ontario? Canada? the world?) without television sets blaring all the time. You can actually walk in by yourself, have a drink, and get into wide-ranging conversations with regulars about everything from the Napoleonic wars to the finer points of beer-making. It's that unique.

Oh, I also quite miss the Raven, which was on John and Augusta. That place was atmospheric up the wazoo. The Underground, its successor, doesn't hold a candle to it.

[SteelTown]

^ You've pretty much described the new emerging Augusta entertainment area. It's an area for older...erm more mature individuals. All the more pubs and restaurants the better for me, more choices.

There's also Corktown.

[flar]

I was there from 10-11pm on a Saturday, people were still eating and the bands were just starting. Shoulda went around midnight, but it was already getting difficult to take pictures on the crowded sidewalk, 90% of the shots I took have people walking in front of the camera.

PS: I have Augusta Street pics, but I'm saving them for an upcoming thread. It'll be a good one.

[rousseau]

I haven't lived in Hamilton for three years. What's in Corktown aside from the Corktown?

[Complex01]

Oh very nice pics. Love the nite pics. Makes me want to go and have a drink...

:cheers:

[raisethehammer]

I haven't lived in Hamilton for three years. What's in Corktown aside from the Corktown?


Lionshead Pub, Tailgate Charlies, Cat N' Fiddle, all of the Augusta St district mentioned earlier, Ingognito Cafe and Wine Bar, Affinity Vegetarian, La Cantina, The Undermount Bar and Grill, Bronzies and coming soon to Corktown: London Tap House and Gallaghers Pub.

[BUFFALOVE!!]

wow this is next door to me. i might have to make a visit

[DC83]

I haven't lived in Hamilton for three years. What's in Corktown aside from the Corktown?

Gallagher's is going where Raven used to be!
They're going to have room for 43 outside!! Will look really kewl kitty-corner to Fox & Fiddle!

And Corktown really is jumpin with restaurants & pubs... we lack almost completely in Cafes tho :(
I go all the way to Locke St most of the time.

[flar]

I added a few more Hess Village photos from a steamy Friday night in October(!?!) showing more of the pedestrian only area on George St.

[SteelTown]

Thanks for more photos! See! pedestrian areas do work.

[WZ1]

Dammit, i really miss Hamilton.. you dont know what you got until its gone.. or you are..damn nothing to do in Sauga..

[mr jones]

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k28/segaert/night/00133.jpg

Great shots! Really like this one:tup:

[matt602]

Dammit, i really miss Hamilton.. you dont know what you got until its gone.. or you are..damn nothing to do in Sauga..

We're still just a bit down the QEW, and you can visit any time :)

[denveraztec]

Great additions to your thread!

[wisla_krakow]

Wow, I love all these Hamilton photos.
You should be an adviser on the tourism committee or whatever, cause I want to visit.

[Hozay]

Hess Village looks like a great place to go out

[LSyd]

awesome awesome awesome. best night thread ever. i'm inspired to go take nightlife pics now. maybe next weekend.

-

[DC83]

We keep using Montreal & Ottawa as examples for why Hamilton should pedestrianize Gore Park, yet we have a perfect example of how well a pedestrianized street can work in our own back yard:

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k28/segaert/night/00080.jpg

^^ George St in Hess Village!

[Centropolis]

Heh, every city has one. This one sure is pretty. Physically it brings to mind to me the defunct Gaslight Square (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslight_Square,_St._Louis) entertainment strip here.

Very nice pictures and area, flar.

Great atmosphere! Must be funny to go out there.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain!:tup:

[Travis007]

Bravo, the party never stops at Hess! :cheers:

[matt602]

So much Jersey Shore in one place. I haven't been to Hess in ages, I kind of stick to the quieter Augusta pub strip. Hess certainly gets busy in the summer though.

[ColDayMan]

Awesome.

[DC1983]

Bravo, the party never stops at Hess! :cheers:

N'or do the fights. This 'district' is notorious for unprovoked, senseless violence. A friend of mine was jumped for touching a girl's hand as he walked by recently. Her drunkenly-angry boyfriend was not happy.

You're not missing much, dude. Che is alright. I still prefer Absinthe (which, btw, is moving into the old Pepper Jack's on King William in the New Year).
Absinthe Lounge in Hess (on George St) needs a lot of Promo.. I don't know why they don't even try.

[IronWarrior]

Stress Village! I hate that place, it was good back about 12 years ago not as much unprovoked violence and nonsense everyone was cool and we had fun.. I worked security back then in Hess and couldn't imagine having to do it now, I will never step foot in Hess again not only because of the crowd but I wouldn't give a dime to a couple of the club/pub owners in that place...I'll stick to going to Augusta these day's.
