^^ Excuse me? My family has owned and operated the Red Carpet for almost 20 years.
Kidding, I just go there for the crack.

Ummm, if you want the trashiest of trashy lounges, Tom's House of Pizza, Macleod trail.
2 pack a day barmaid with the Bea Arthur voice - check
Same 3 65 year old alcoholic guys comparing whos dad was a better soldier back in WW2, then eventually going to blows - check.
AT LEAST 1 Boston and 1 Ozzy song (preferably No more Tears) on the Jukebox every hour - check
Same furniture from when I worked there in 1992 - check
The place is awesome... and it is one of those places where it is best to go alone. I like to ad unpredictability of the experience.

I watched a movie on TV about 18 months ago called Comeback Season with Ray Liotta, which was filmed in Calgary.
There's a scene where Liotta's character is staying at a motel after his wife kicked him out (or something,) and I believe it to be The Savory Lodge where this was filmed. I only recognized that it was even in Calgary due to the sound wall opposite 16th ave, then I did some Goggling.

You guys have terrible taste in trashy lounges. For a good time, it's the Shamrock every time.

The Savory Lodge use to be The Circle Inn. We had an after grad party there way back when.

At least the police were creative?

Three police undercover operations targeted the Savory Lodge, including the aptly named Operation Un-Savory and Operation Un-Savory 2.
