Real-Life Heated Rivalry Filming Locations
One could argue that the city of Hamilton, Ontario, is the real star of the show, serving as the backdrop for many of the scenes still etched in my memory.
Shamrock Park, Hamilton
The pink tunnel scene where Ilya calls Shane in “Russia" and gives us one of the most heartwrenching russian speaches ever made by a Texas-born.
Ciao Bella
The restaurant where Shane dines with his parents. Interior shots only.
Paloma (now closed)
The Mexican restaurant where Scott and Kip almost went in episode three, before Kip picked "or" at the apartment.
The Mansion
You know the one. The club scene, with the All the Things She Said remix that altered every millennial's chemistry (yes, I am still playing it on repeat).
First Ontario Concert Hall / Hamilton Place
Awards ceremony, bathroom scenes, and more.
King William & Hughson
Scott’s running route before meeting Kip, with the intro to I'll Believe in Anything by Wolf Parade playing in the background.
Relay Coffee Roasters
A.K.A. Straw + Berry! You can absolutely grab a coffee here, but sadly, there’s no Blue Moon Over Brooklyn smoothie… at least not to my knowledge.
Le Tambour Tavern
Where Rose and Shane have the only conversation about pegs I've ever been invested in, with a very emotional and pivotal self-admission from Shane at the end.
