| - YOU. YES, YOU. YOU do NOT want to come here...or at least *I* don't want YOU to come here. Unless of course you already know that you must come here. This is my dive...or at least it would be if I lived here. Without a doubt the best place to grab a pint and chillout in Calgary.
I only went the one time. Tonight that is. Punk jams, but not too loud. Decent selection of taps. Pool and Foos upstaris along with the world's smallest balcony. Awesome front porch. I'm not sure what the crowd is like on the weekends...but for a Thursday I couldn't have been happier. Friendly conversation. Amiable staff. I'm a fan.
It might even be in my top five favorite bars in the world. Actually, it is...pushing out Casey Moore's from the #4 spot:
#1 Shady's (Phoenix, AZ)
#2 Kilowatt (SF, CA)
#3 Emerald Lounge (R.I.P. - Phoenix, AZ)
#4 Hop In Brew Pub (Calgary, AB)
#5 Casey Moore's (Tempe, AZ)
#6 City Beer Store (SF, CA)
#7 Jello, (Montreal, PQ)
#8 Steve's Bar Room (R.I.P. - Washington, D.C.)
#9 Nita's Hideaway (R.I.P. - Tempe, AZ)
#0 Joker (Tübingen, Deutschland)
Nice old house converted into cool dive bar. Feels like home. I hope I get a chance to come back someday.
Cheers.
