Description:
Set in an historic bank building along Stephen Avenue, the James Joyce is beautiful and inviting. The decor is completely Old World, with traditional details, dark woods, interesting memorabilia, and refined accents. The antique bar, which hails from Ireland, now serves Guinness at three different temperatures, so you can enjoy it as you prefer. If you find yourself hungry, they have terrific pub fare, including Irish stew, shepherd's pie, and fish-and-chips. They also make a great boxty (stuffed potato pancake), along with steak, chicken and lamb. On select nights, the pub sponsors Irish dancing and live Celtic and Irish bands. This pub is one of the best – come any time of day, and if you've already experienced the charming interior, stake a claim on an outdoor table and enjoy the Stephen Avenue people-watching. |

Description:
Loud and boisterous, this club lets loose with western spirit, inviting authentic cowboys to mix with those whose only tie to the lifestyle is their clothing. The enormous space boasts a large dance floor, where patrons kick and stomp their way around, following the latest steps. Depending on the night, you'll also find live bands, DJs spinning tunes, and dance lessons offered for those who want to hone their skills. The club is well-attended throughout the year by a diverse crowd, although when Stampede rolls around, it gets absolutely packed with visitors to the annual event. Fun and rambunctious. |

Description:
Perennially popular and always crowded, this English pub is the city's great equalizer, attracting (and welcoming) patrons of all ages and backgrounds. They come for the laid-back ambience, live bands which play on Wednesdays (often with no cover), and the open jam sessions that take place on Saturday afternoons. Of course, no pub worth its salt can get by without beer, and S & A offers local and international brews on tap, including Guinness, Becks and Stella Artois. To complement the beer, you'll find a full menu of pub fare, including hot and cold sandwiches, burgers, fish-and-chips, along with pastas and pizzas. They don't stand on formalities, and neither should you. Just wear what you have, and come on. |

Description:
Yep, it really does look like a garage, except it's hipper and cleaner, thank goodness! The place sports lots of metal accents, along with paraphernalia relating to cars, motorcycles, and mechanics. It also has a ton of pool tables for those who like their game and, perhaps, some friendly wagering. A large bar serves up libations of all sorts, ensuring that no one goes away thirsty. You'll also find an array of TVs tuned in to whatever's most interesting. Young professionals comprise the bulk of the clientele, and the club happily accommodates their private parties and events. |

Description:
This fashionable brewpub is a two-part affair. Upstairs is the dining room, a rustic but airy space that features Rocky Mountain-inspired cuisine and boasts local game dishes, along with seafood and chicken. The lower level houses the pub and is the real heartbeat of the complex. It features handcrafted brews and offers substantial sandwiches, along with a terrific lamb burger. The beer menu features ales, pilsners, stouts, and all the others in-between. You can select a familiar favorite or have the staff bring out a flight, which is a lot of small samples of everything they make. From there, you'll be able to develop a better sense of which beer you prefer. If you're around on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, they often host live music. |
