Default Flames friendly bars in Edmonton?
Just prepping for the upcomming season, I was wondering were the best bars in Edmonton are for a Flames atmosphere? Not sure if any exist, but it'd be nice to be at a bar dominated by flames fans! Should make the season more bearable!

Last season I wore my Flames jersey in this bar called 'Oil City' and no one ever bothered me. A few funny looks and a few "Flames Suck!" but overall it was all good.

Not to go all TMZ ish, but I know for a fact that Flames themselves have been to that very establishment.

Is it even bad in Edmonton? I see Oilers jerseys at the pubs all over in Calgary and no one cares I would assume it would be the same there.

It's only bad if the Flames lose that particular night.

No idea, but it'd be cool to find a bar that has an owner who was a flames fan, and decked out the place in flames gear, always had the game on, etc.

It's actually a really nice place, despite the awful name. I had a blast that night.
