| - Aah, Malcolm's. I'm pretty sure there's not a single person currently working in downtown Calgary that has not ended up at Malcolm's for a beer at some point in their career. With its tacky decor, scantly clad waitresses, and cheap booze and bar food, it's a no-brainer. They also have a decent patio with all glass walls to keep out the din of traffic racing by, so it's even more popular in the summer months.
Malcolm's has daily happy hour discounts, although the last time I went they were only offering draught beer at 25 cents off - big whoop.
This place really caters to big crowds of post-work drinkers who may also be hungry, so there are several multi-person appetizer platters on the menu. The size of these platters is unreal - the mound of nachos blocked my view across the table! They offer variety, too - there are fresh veggie platters, nachos, and snack platters filled with wings, egg rolls, potato skins...you name it.
Another cool thing about Malcolm's is that they have a separate counter in the concourse outside called "Malcolm's on the Go", which offers pre-made salads, sandwiches and other portable lunch menu items for the hurried office crowd at lunch.
