I was out on Saturday night with my old roommate Clipboard… and we experienced a very interesting bar. It is right in the middle of downtown Calgary, and is essentially just an old house that has been converted into a bar. When I say converted I mean that they did nothing except put a bar inside an old house. However, I felt that it made the bar even better. It felt like a house party.. except you knew no one… and you aren’t allowed to break anything.. The only downfall… they have the worst beer on tap. I love microbrews… dont get me wrong, but this bar had barely anything to offer for selection, and what they did have tasted like piss mixed with dish water.
The name of this place? No idea. All it had was a sign outside that said Pub. We had a great time though… minus all of the gagging from the piss water. I feel like this business model could use some tweaking, because a setup like this could be legendary.
Is anyone interested in starting a House-Bar/Bar-House with me? (Smith, I know you’re in…)
If you ever care to see this idea executed Bret “Hit Man” Hart style (aka - excellently) Check out Charlies (aka - Chuckys) in Halifax. It’s a members only club…unless you know the secret password (which you type into a keypad at the front door, thus unlocking the door), in which case you can sign in as a guest.
The only downside is that it’s a hipster house party.
