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.
My friend lives near the river in Bowness. At the Bo Ho he has to pay for his food before they will bring it to the table. There must be lots of dine and dash there. The food comes on paper plates with plastic cutlery.

Bowness could use a proper pub - not sure people there have to go all the way to Westhills or downtown.

Crowfoot is closer? Pazzers?
