Interesting. Maybe I was only there during the tail end of the Palace days when it sucked and kept myself insulated by mostly going to suburban bars (Outlaws, etc) in my bar star days, but the Palace to me always felt like the kind of place where you get stabbed. Pretty shady crew in there when I was there. Still the only bar I was ever asked to turn my hat around, that usually speaks to the type of crowd they dealt with there.
..but Calgary has become a much more cosmopolitan city than it was in the early 2000's, maybe the new Palace would reflect more of that swanky, Stephen Avenue vibe this time around.
