I think this has to qualify for Calgary's only dive bar that somewhat caters to intellectuals. That is, you'll normally find a good bunch of people hunched over over-priced imports and micros discussing ... I don't know... Julian Assange or something. That said, the beer is great. Best tap selection in the city if you like the micro stuff, original decor, and just plain comfortable. It's my go-to local place in the Beltline. No dancing either which works for me.
