Looks similar to new Calgary Event Centre.

I was thinking the same thing. At least it has a retro 80s vibe going for it. The Back Alley is synonymous with scuzzy and rundown.

Looks that way, at least initially. If this thing builds out fully like shown in the link I wonder if they'd stay at the base of the towers?

Yeah, it was where the Back Alley was before it was the Back Alley.

Thursday night triples, bouncers with sweet mullets trying to do the running man...

I took a date there once with a group of people. We were chatting and my buddy says "Is that your date?" I turned around to see her on the bar dancing in her bra.

We got married.

Oh hell yes.

So many great memories. I can't think of a better bar to to be off your head on mushrooms in than the Buttlick.

Man that place was excellent.

Three for one nights. Grabbing three Old Stocks (shudder) at a time and taking them to a table in the back courtyard.

Wilco at the Republik in 97 was maybe the best live show I’ve been to.

Which version. I preferred the 9th ave location over the 17th ave location. Although I did see I Mother Earth play a great show there.

I've always wondered, was Denny Andrews American Bar affiliated with the Denny Andrews Ford dealership in Edmonton, or was it a weird coincidence?
