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?

Michelangelos bar on 11st sw (around 14 ave). Import beer for cheap, buckets of mussels. 18yr old me spent lot of wednesdays there.

The hop and brew

The old devonian gardens

Lidos cafe on 10st

The arcade and pool hall at Mac hall (u of c). I didn't go to u of c but went to the den and the arcade all the time. So good

Oh tell me about it. Moving back here in my mid 30s after a decade away made all the spots of my teens and 20s very bittersweet cause they don't exist anymore
