This is a great thread, I looked through it the other day and noticed it was started in 2010. nice to see it going strong. Anyone remember that restaurant/bar on Macleod Trail, Goldstein and Chans. Such a bizzare name, if I recall it was by Bullwinkles.
Goldstein and Chan's was pretty good. Weird gimmick, though - deli food + Chinese. But if you wanted a pastrami on rye with a side of sweet and sour pork balls, it was the place to go. It was also the first place I saw soft drinks served in mason jars.

Bagels and Buns on 17th Ave, where that Shoppers is now.
That was a bagel shop. Spent many a Saturday/Sunday recovering there with a bagel and coffee.

More than once we would see Dar at a bar in the old Penny Lane between the evening and late news. He'd sit at the bar and throw a few back before heading back to do the late weather.

Maybe that's why he always talked about moonshine...errr moon shine.

He probably had to be half cut to stand outside on those cold winter days. I felt bad for him. Seriously A-Channel let him inside.

It's been closed for a while but I drove by the Shamrock Hotel the other day and they're finally knocking it down. The place was sketchy AF towards the end but it's still a little weird to see it go.

I miss Ceili's rooftop patio in the summer, my favourite place to go for drinks after work on a Thursday or Friday. There was something special about sitting up there among the skyscrapers with great city views, having drinks and chatting with friends. There really is nothing else like it.

The Montreal Bagel joint in Eau Claire Market. They had the wood fire oven and hot damn did they make amazing bagels.
unrelated to nostalgia thread but for anyone interested in montreal-style bagels I would endorse the appropriately named "montreal bagels" on Elbow Drive and Heritage

Montreal Bagels has been operating out of a strip mall on Elbow Drive and Heritage for a while now. Wood fire oven, delicious bagels. Might be the same people?

don't know if they are the same folks as Eau Claire but as you say they have been at the current location since at least 2002 and I think maybe even before
their credentials are legit as they had worked in Montreal prior to coming to Calgary
note : *** cash only
note: bagels are slightly cheaper on Tuesdays
