I’m headed to Calgary next month for two nights. Any folks have some good restaurant intel? I’ll be staying downtown.

What kind of food are you looking for? Go to Charcut if you like cured meats (by the Calgary tower) and get a charcuterie plate and a side of duck fat poutine fries...  Fantastic regional oyster selection at the seafood place in the Hyatt. Hy's Steakhouse is good for steaks. Joey' Eau Claire is also a good spot with lots of "scenery"...  I haven't been there in almost 2 years and with the oil downturn, I've heard a lot of places have closed so check to see any of the ones are still open before trying to go...

Thanks - All those sound good, have spent past 30 minutes watching your avatar.

If you are there on a (I think) Monday night, the Palomino Smokehouse across from the Hyatt has a all-you-can-eat pork rib special for 15 or 20 bucks and they do a good job on 'em. (I get them dry with sauce on the side).  Kind of a biker bar but a good place to watch baseball or NFL on the tvs.

I’m here now for work. Opted for Vintage Chophouse for Dinner. Took a trip up the Calgary tower today and it was pretty cool.

It’s also really fucking cold here.

Anyone been to Calgary recently? Haven’t been in 3 years and headed there tomorrow for a few nights.... I assume the oil crash has killed off a few resturants - anything new downtown?

I've heard that there are issues with internet service availability around football/recruiting season.
