Things will cool off a little this weekend so it's the perfect time to hole up at Albert Street Cocktail or check out A+DFF at Cinematheque.

Sunday could be a rain day, so keep dry inside at the Good Will Trader's Post or an all-ages show at the WECC with two of my favourites — Odanah and SC Mira.

Oh and did I mention there's a festival on right now that is just about getting chocolate desserts for cheap from fancy restaurants?

WHAT: DRINKS — Albert Street Cocktail Company

When: Friday and Saturday night

Where: Albert Street Cocktail Company at 91 Albert St.

Cost: About $9-$15 for a fancy drink

There's a brand new cocktail bar opening in the Exchange, and I think you should go check it out this weekend.

Albert Street Cocktail Company is our first craft-cocktail focused bar. Basically, that means instead of being restaurant first, cocktail bar second, they're the opposite.

It's taken over the old Mondragon space in the Exchange, and it's absolutely beautiful in there. There are some pretty talented people who came together to make it happen.

If you're not totally sure what to get, bar manager Mike Fox recommends trying the Chef, May I with reposado tequila, green Chartreuse, chili-infused Cointreau, Mill Street Coffee Porter reduction, agave nectar, mole bitters, whole egg and grated nutmeg. That's a lot of stuff that sounds amazing.

There's also a really impressive wine and beer selection to check out.

And I'd go early this weekend. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a packed house.

WHAT: FILM — Architecture and Design Film Festival

When: Friday, Saturday and Sunday

Where: Cinematheque, the WAG and MAKE Coffee

Cost: FREE to $9 per screening or $66 for a festival pass

If you're into design or architecture, you should check out A+DFF this weekend.

They have a packed lineup at Cinematheque, the Winnipeg Art Gallery and MAKE Coffee.

For design nerds: check out Sign Painters Saturday at 3 p.m. It's a documentary about the hand-painted sign industry in the United States and afterwards there's going to be a free tour of the Exchange District's ghost signs.

If you're looking for something a bit more accessible, check out the French film Mon Oncle. It's a comedy, and the main character is a house.

PS: The screenings at MAKE on Corydon are free!

WHAT: SHOP — Good Will Trader's Post

When: Sunday, April 19 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Where: The Good Will at 625 Portage Ave.

Cost: FREE admission

Go grab some coffee or tea at The Good Will this weekend and check out their second Trader's Post on Sunday. (Teghan Beaudette/CBC) The Good Will Trader's Post is back again, and this time with even more vendors.

If you didn't go last time, it's a really cute little pop-up market with everything from jewelry to vintage clothes and furniture to locally made ceramics.

As usual, they're offering mimosas, caesars and espresso drinks.

There will also be a DJ!

Oh and this is a licensed but kid-friendly event, so feel free to bring your little ones.

WHAT: FOOD — ChocolateFest

When: Friday, Saturday and Sunday

Where: 17 different restaurants

Cost: $7

That thing where you can get fancy chocolate treats from fun restaurants for $7 is on again this year.

ChocolateFest is happening for all of April, and there are 17 spots you can get treats for cheap.

Era, Carnaval, Hermanos, Smith and Prairie 360 are all on this list. There are also some more chill places offering $7 chocolate things.

Era is doing a dark chocolate cheesecake with roasted white chocolate ice cream and fleur de sel with smashed raspberries.

Hermanos is doing a chocolate meringue with macerated strawberries and rhubarb, whipped cream and hibiscus syrup.

And there are a ton of other places to try, so if you want to do dessert and coffee this weekend, check out the fest.

WHAT: MUSIC — SC Mira and Odanah

When: Sunday, April 19 at 1 p.m.

Where: West End Cultural Centre at 586 Ellice Ave.

Cost: $15

Go see Odanah and SC Mira play the WECC on Sunday. It's all ages, so you can bring young folks! (Eric Roberts) There's a lovely all-ages show at the WECC this weekend.

SC Mira, Odanah and Hearing Trees are all playing sets, and the bar will be closed for the afternoon, so it's a good show for young people to go check out.

I'm really such a fan of both SC Mira and Odanah.

Plus, Hearing Trees is playing — their stuff is really reminiscent of early Matthew Good Band stuff and the Tragically Hip (so about as Canadian rock sounding as you could possibly get.)

Basically, you'll get a good assortment of indie-rock, folk-indie and alt-rock for $15.

Go enjoy this cute little afternoon show!
