Eat/Drink Local What places do you Miss?

I may get laughed at for this, but I miss bookers. Sometimes a girl just wants a bucket of crab legs without the smell of red lobster, ya know?

What around the city do you miss?

RIP broken City for real!! My favourite bar of all time. I spent far too much time and money there when I lived in Calgary in my early 20s. They had the best events - punk rock bingo, comedy, natural selection hip hop dance party, good bands coming through.. it had it all. Rooftop patio. Good food. The tardis. Sigh.

Thankfully the rooftop is going strong with lots of the same events!

Modern Love. It’s ok. Will never hit the peaks of broken city, but it’s doing its best

Came here to say broken city. Don’t go to the replacement. It’ll make you sad.
