Located off the ubiquitous 17th Ave restaurant/bar row, Ricardo's has the best rum selection I have ever experienced. Wow! I flipped out being a rum lover. I started with a rum flight for $25.00, discounted to $11.00 because I have a nice smile. Four glasses with two ounce shots of premium rum were placed in front of me, and I knew the evening was going to be one hell of an adventure.
The entire staff at Ricardo's was accommodating and friendly. Calgary has some of the friendliest people I have ever met. It is a surprisingly hip and progressive city. The cow town moniker is unfair and totally off. Ricardo's was a fun and wonderful time.
