| - Like everyone, I enjoy a nice glass of sugar and alcohol with appropriate garnishes. All to make the $12-$15 worthwhile. This place does especially nice glasses of sugar and alcohol. There are a lot of cool people here, and it was pretty loud with the sounds of their laughter. The waitresses were also attractive, and that was important because it made me feel loved and cared for as a guest.
I had too many glasses of sugar and alcohol, and I know that my table ordered food but alcohol tends to make a man push food much more quickly past his tongue and into his stomach, thus, I can't remember if it was good. I do remember it was the meat and cheese tray (or charcuterie for the fancy people here). It was around $30 for the tray, and that seems like par for the course in Calgary for fancy crackers and small triangles of cheese.
Seriously, I am so torn about the recent surfeit of fancy cocktail bars in the city. On the one hand, they are excellent alternatives to the grubby corporate pub. I am glad that they have lots of good stuff that I can buy, and that they keep themselves clean, and that they don't have teevees. But, on the other hand, they are all basically the same, and they are all way too expensive, and honestly, if you really boil it down, I can't tell them apart. Am I a Philistine? Yes. Probably, but I still go, so I am a hypocrite too. I like sugar and alcohol, like every human being, and Proof, is a good place to go to imbibe.
