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 »

Recently updated lists from Mike M.

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.	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!
