Default What are the oldest pubs/bars/restaurants in Calgary?

Presumably it's going to be the Rimrock in the Palliser, but what else is out there?

The Unicorn has to be 30+ that's based on my age and slightly underage drinking...

I'm having trouble digging up a founding date but Garrison Pub in Garrison Woods I would guess has been around for awhile. What with the base nearby for all those years back in the day.

At present, that's neither a pub, bar or restaurant.
