I find it odd that the location appears to be so unsuccessful in finding a long term business. Bottlehouse is the longest surviving business I can remember. In the meantime, the lacklustre Julio's Barrio has managed to survive across the street.

I hope they can make it work, I just hope this isn't a lateral move to a me too type Pub. The Lot 102, Burger, Beer words make me think otherwise. Hopefully it is as new and fresh as they claim. We need more good restaurants in Kensington!

I agree with sentiments on burger joints in Calgary. I love burgers but I think the $15 gourmet burger market is overly saturated.
Edit: I just looked at the menu from Julio's because I haven't been there in well over half a dozen years and I'm shocked that they are charging $20 for a burrito or fajita with meat.
