Hey folks.

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a decent lounge or even pub that I could take some family to after my sister's wedding on Saturday Sept 4th. Also, some advice/knowledge from people who work/worked in a lounge or some such place.

17th ave, downtown or Kensington would be the preferred locations. We will all be wearing suits/dresses. Most of them have been to Calgary only once or twice.

There will be about 10-15 of us. We range in age from 18-28 but most of them are in the 20-24 range.

Considering how many of us there are I need a place that can accommodate us or possibly even save space for us. We will probably be arriving around midnight, maybe 1230.

I have 2 main questions:

1)What kinds of places are best for this? No nightclubs (whiskey, cowboys etc). Lounge preferably, but we don't want bottle service or to pay $8.50 for a beer. Maybe a pub but like I said we'll all be dressed to the nines.

2)If the place has cover/line we need no line, no cover. If it doesn't I need to be able to guarantee that there will be room for all of us, whether I have to book a room/reserve a table or whatever. Do places charge for this? Is it even possible to arrange? We certainly won't be racking up a massive bill because we will already have had some beverages but I'm sure we'll spend $20-40 per person for the hour or two we'll be there. (12/1230 - 2am)

It doesn't have to be a super trendy lounge or anything. We aren't overly rowdy but most of us will be drinking/drunk.

Thanks in advance. If any of you should happen to work in an establishment that could suit my needs and want to help out a CPer just send a PM my way and maybe something could be arranged.
