Yeah, there is yet another terrible bar in the main floor of the Bo Ho. If there are any prospective pub owners out there in CP land, Bowness is a prime underserved spot. The neighbourhood is getting younger quickly because of all the entry level houses so you are getting pretty prime pub-goers (20-30 something professionals and tradespeople) with nowhere to go but some seedy hole where you have to pay by the beer.
I'm pretty sure that a nice-enough-to-bring-the-girlfriend canadian or irish style pub with good food and the hockey game on good monitors would be packed. The river-side part of Bowness is crammed with scores of really affluent families who have to drive up to Westhills or towards downtown to get a decent pint. It's silly.
