I'm a bad person...I said I would do this last night but got busy building....
I suppose a question I should have asked is, does this need to be all ages? I didn't even think about that at first....
Anyway, here are some options for now.
If we want to walk, or take very short cabs/ubers...
Things near by:
These are going to mostly just be bars and such as it's downtown.
Vagabond -very close (same street, one block north of the Dome), craft beer, food, sometimes live music -
HOME | vagabondcalgary
The Ship and Anchor - really popular downtown pub, also live music -
The Ship & Anchor
Bottlescrew Bills/Buzzards - "famous downtown
Calgary pub with over 300 different beers " -
Best Pub & Bar Calgary - Craft Beer Calgary - Food | Bottlescrew Bills
Restaurants on Stephen Ave (8th Ave downtown, what they call "Calgary’s premiere hospitality and retail destination". City centre pedestrian hub. About 4 blocks north of the grounds and stretches about 10 or so blocks West)
Cactus Club
State and Main
Local 8th Ave -
Local Public Eatery
Further out:
Moxies
Earls
There is a Blaze Pizza... I include this because we had it in Anaheim and it was amazing....but I don't think it's really a sit down restaurant
WURST -
Wurst :: Home
Original Joe's (there are a couple of locations downtown)
Ducky's - be warned (or excited depending on you), they have karaoke
So a lot of these will probably just be variations on the same theme. If we start going much further out, aka need a ride/more than a $10 uber, there are other options such as:
The Rec Room - For those that don't know, big arcade with a restaurant/drinks. All ages. They even have Halo: Fireteam Raven.
This one is quite a ways away.
The Rec Room
If we look south there is a sports bar with pool and mini golf
Schanks -
Schanks Sports Grill
Now between our furthest North and furthest South options there are places like Boston Pizza and the like that are options as well.
If
XBrav or
SpartanProps have ideas or anything I've missed, let me know and I'll add them to this main list to keep everything together.
I'll keep thinking for more too.
