| - Well, I gave it another chance, and nope, the place is still hopeless. Still a giant wooden echoey cowshed, cheekily ambitious prices, and has that arrogant impersonal 'too big to not care' of a chain of businesses that get enough custom from the dumb herd that they feel they can do anything they please and charge what they want.
Alas, they get away with it, because enough people are stupid enough to tolerate it, or think this is 'normal'.
The owners also apparently run: 'Commonwealth Bar' a bar that's actually a club, that leaves its customers queing outside in -30c weather being half empty inside, and then has the nerve to charge you to get into a glorified IKEA room set sprinkled with odd props that look like rejects from a Ripley's 'Believe it or not!'.
HiFi Club, A hipster haven I hear. Never been.
Una, the only bright spot in this cluster of painfully trendy venues.
Oh well. Another pub bites the dust, lets see if that new Jameson's 'Irish' pub is any better on 17th ave. After all, you can't open up a pub in Calgary without having some 'theme' now can you?
