I was thinking of this a while back. In the south they have Peanuts pub, but in the north there needs to be something easy to access too. I was thinking the Black Bull as it has been renovated (It's very nice inside now) and it's not ridiculous in price. The bonus is that it is right on Deerfoot. Easy to get too for most in the north centre.
