Cowboys

Edit This

Everyone who goes to Calgary thinks of Cowboys.  Say what you will about the place, it's become an icon and attracts all manner of small town folk to see what the big city is like without having to give up their "cowboy" mentality.  For the women, if you like cowboys and wannabe cowboys, this is the place to go.  For men, look for the female staff of this establishment who are typically sponsored by the bar to be surgically enhanced.  During Stampede, it is next to impossible to get into this bar.
