With a coordinated effort we could book every table at Jamiesons for every oilers game and then no show

Sounds like an opportune time to drop a giant glass dome on the place and forget about it.

Only for the first 3 nights. The fourth night should be great.

Kilkenny should run a promo whereby if you answer "NG" to the server's "What equals E?" you get a discounted drink.

10% discount for wearing a Flames/1st round opponent shirt or jersey, extra 5% discount for knowing that, and a 15% surcharge for Oiler fans to offset it.

I know people are mostly joking, but I really hope that no Calgarian would actually boycott a Calgary establishment that is taking advantage of the thousands of Oilers fans that infest this city. The hospitality industry has become increasingly challenging over the years, and those are still Calgarians that own and are employed in those places.

I'll personally be going to Jamesons on 17th or another 17th Ave establishment well-known for being an Oilers bar to loudly cheer for whatever team the Oilers are playing.

Only if they double the price of everything during game nights just to rip off the stupid Oilers fans. I will then give them a pass.

There’ll probably be a dress code at Jamesons.

As an insolvency lawyer I can say with confidence that while business always has challenegs, some businesses choose to create their own challenges withg poor decisions. Extreme example - those restauarants that flouted COVID laws. This decision is just an odd one. There would be better ways to attract Oiler fans. Rather than call yourselves Oiler proud, say "OK OK, for right now it's a truce and we will welcome you".

Life is choices. Jameson's made theirs, and consumers will make theirs. No one owes Jameson's anything.

Potentially affecting the well-being of other Calgarians over a marketing ploy because of a sports rivalry. To each their own I guess.

You'll all be very disappointed to know that unless there's a Flames game on, most bars in the downtown area anyway play every Oilers game during the season.

I expect nothing less than full and unrelenting boycott of Jamesons until they relent, or enter insolvency.

You either allow Oiler fans in or you have a dress code. You can't have both.

Maybe they do, but they aren't advertising that all Oiler games will be played "loud and proud" and offer a discount for wearing Oilers garb.

Every bar and pub in Calgary will be showing the Bumonton series. I'd rather go there and hate cheer with other Flames fans and support a local establishment that isn't giving a discount to our most hated rival.
