The Yardhouse is a great place for socializing. Everytime I go there, I always end up talking to the people around us. It seems like a giant house party with a some of Calgary's coolest. Which is why I never feel like I fit in there. :-) It is…More »

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 »

i honestly and truly believe that Gypsy is Calgary's best kept secret. And can we all promise to keep it that way?

Tucked across the street from the Paliser, you might miss the restaurant on first passing, but make sure you look for the red sign,…More »

I may have peaked. The Black Horse may be one of the coolest bars I and only ten other people have squeezed themselves into.

To call this place a hole in the wall would make people think that a hole is bigger than it really, really is. The fact that…More »

How can you not love a place that has bottles of wine for $15 on a Monday night? I guess if you are under the drinking age, you wouldn't love it. But I'm more than old enough to enjoy a bottle on their great patio.

Speaking of the patio, the views…More »

If you are like me and are a maritimer who has transplanted themselves to Calgary, the Atlantic Trap & Gill Pub is a great place to make you feel like you are home again. I mean after all, it says it right in the name!

There is nothing particularly…More »

For a city that is barely 100 years old, Kensington Pub is a little piece of British history. I'm not really sure why but any time I go here I feel like I'm in England in the 1800s.

There isn't anything particularly special about the pub. But it…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.	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.	Dowtown or bust! (6) 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!
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!
