Dowtown or bust!

Sometimes it's hard to find things to in downtown Calgary at night. The core seems to clear out faster than you can say Stephen Avenue. But there are actually lots of things to do downtown, you may just have to look harder for them!

1. The Unicorn Pub

304 8 Ave SW
Calgary, AB T2P 1C2
(403) 234-8816

Category: Pubs

9/28/2010

I couldn't agree more with Arinn's review calling The Unicorn "a solid standby."

You can never really go wrong with the underground pub but it will never blow your socks off. I will say for a pub with no windows or any form of daylight, you never…More »

The Uptown is a great example of the little theatre that could. Tucked in between towering sky scrappers and across the street from the Globe, The Uptown has always offered the best of those movies you've never heard of but you know you should see.

9/17/2010

I don't really know much about The Auburn, but at some point in its history this became the unofficial hangout for all people theatrical. Any given night you can walk in on a passionate poetry reading, an early workshop of a place or a singer making…More »

BR& is one of the most surprsing experiences that I've ever had downtown. Back in May I had decided to throw my 25th (.....) birthday party. I had been looking for a great location to host about twenty people and when I walked in BR&'s doors, I…More »

Calgary, AB T2P 1B3

Categories: Irish, Pubs

9/16/2010

Probably one of the most expensive pubs you'll experience in Calgary. After a beer or two and something to eat, you'll be asking James Joyce himself to write you a poem about being broke.

This pub's location along Stephen Ave makes it very…More »

9/15/2010 First to Review

I've recently discovered the magic of working from the library. For those of us, who can work from home, the library is an amazing opportunity to enjoy a great working space, without the temptation of Ellen or Oprah.

The membership to the…More »

Recently updated lists from Mike M.

Exploring Stephen Avenue (4) Stephen Avenue is one of the hottest places in Calgary, especially during the summer when it is packed with trendy Calgarians looking for a great place to have a drink and get some shopping done. Whenever I'm down there, I try to explore the entire street. Here are a few that come to mind.	Drunkity Drunk Drunk (7) Maybe you had a bad week or maybe you want to go celebrate a new job. Perhaps you are on the worst date and just want to drink your troubles away. Either way, these are some of my favourite bars!
This is how to travel! (9) Everything you need to know about planning a great trip.	Funny Guy! (5) So I just discovered that you can sort your reviews by either Funny, Useful or Cool! I had no idea! Apparently you guys think that sometimes I'm funny. Awww that's so sweet. According to your UFCs, here are my funniest.
Who doesn't love to be comfortable? (4) But what is comfortable? It really depends on my mood and what I'm looking to do. However, typically it involves one of these places that relax me in many different ways!	The parents are coming, the parents are coming! (10) Who doesn't love when your parents come to town, right? Hello? Anyone? Well I do! Here are some of the places I like to take my mom and dad any time they come to visit!
It's the theatre! (4) Here are some of my favourite (and least favourite) theatres in Calgary for acting or otherwise!	Canadian Airports! (3) Not that we have much choice of airports but it is always good to know who has free wifi and who doesn't!
Japan: Who needs a passport! (3) I've never been to Japan but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the food! Mmmmm sushi!	Inglewood: No longer a hood! (3) A few years ago, Inglewood was one of the scariest places in all of Calgary. Recently it has become to some of the coolest, trendiest and best stores and shops in the entire city!
