| - Ask anyone in Calgary where the "real cowboys" are and they'll tell you Ranchmans. During The Calgary Stampede this becomes the unofficial HQ for anyone with a giant belt buckle.
However, during the rest of the year, Ranchmans becomes the place to have a really good time with your friends, whether you have cowboy boots or not.
The best thing about the bar is that everyone is there to have a good time. I've never been much of a square-dance person, but it is sorta like that, only with a lot more alcohol. And if dancing isn't your thing, there are also lots of tables far enough away from the dance floor to still have a great conversation about chinooks or mini-donuts.
For the brave at heart (or very drunk) they also have a mechanical bucking bull. So if you want to impress your date, then you should give it a try. My record? 3.5 seconds.
One thing to note: Ranchmans is quite the distance from the downtown core, so you if you are going to go, get ready to commit for the night, but once you get there, you aren't going to want to leave anyway!
