Apparently, The Pint is not only for douchebags now........They are having a gay pub night every tuesday starting now.

Well, I suppose gays can be douchebags as well....haha.

Surprised The Pint hasn't already been replaced with something better.

Wow National on 10th has really become the place to be. All three floors were completely packed on Saturday. Place must be making a killing!

Looking forward to checking out B&B just to see the work that they did.

Anyone know how much in that B&B pic is a) original from the bank b) from the former bar (Banke?) c) new for B&B?

The ceiling and maybe the floor. It looks amazing though.

Heard some very interesting rumours about the Melrose space. Very interesting.

Sounds intriguing! When can we expect to hear more on this?

State and Main is opening in the old Seven Restolounge space on 8th Ave SW.

Is that a good thing? Their website/menu looks very generic-chain-like... Are they any better than that?

Same as Original Joe's.

So to answer the "is this a good thing?" part, the answer is: Meh...

Do they advertise in Craig Chandler's "Right Pages" as a business that supports hard-right Christian candidates? Because OJ's does, which is why I never eat there. Also the chicken "Philly" I got at their Kensington location was perhaps the worst thing I've ever ordered, incompetent on every level.

I have never heard of Right Pages and I have never eaten at OJ's, but I have enjoyed half price wine Wednesdays at S&M in Chinook.
I wouldn't knowingly support a business that supported that kook.

Spring2008 · #**6198** Posted **Feb 13, 2014, 8:00 PM**

Tried State & Main once at Chinook. Nice interiors, decent food and drink quality, overall a solid mid-range option, and their head office is in Calgary, so I'm assuming they started out here too.

Going to hit Posto for dinner tonight. Looking forward to it!!

Looks like Opus has announced some of the retail tenants for Britannia Crossing. Cafe Artigiano and a restaurant called Browns Social House. Will be nice to have those added to the community, especially the restaurant/pub as I don't think there is anything close by for all the people that live there.
