Where’s a good place for a pint on St.
Patrick’s Day? The Rose and Crown Pub
(page 44) just off of 16th Avenue and 4th
Street. They have a wide selection of beers
on tap, and many different levels so you can
really have a private little party. They usually
have a live band that plays later in the
evening to help you celebrate being Irish.

Which restaurants are a must-try for
visiting foodies? Bar Von Der Fels
(page 49), though I am a bit partial as
it is so close to us at the Fairmont Palliser
(right around the corner). This intimate
new restaurant is wowing taste buds all
over the city. The team at BVDF will not
disappoint, though it is a popular place so
ask your concierge for assistance in making a
reservation.
Where’s a good place to spend a rainy
spring day? I am by no means a musician,
but I love the National Music Centre
(page 32). The building alone pleases the
eye and the contents will fill all your senses.
With Rosso Coffee Roasters in the lobby
level, to the sound booths and the interactive
“Sound Box”, you can easily spend an
afternoon exploring your inner rock star.
Where’s your favourite place in Calgary
for live music? Mikey’s Juke Joint
(page 42), you always have a wide variety
of live music to choose from. It is a perfect
casual atmosphere with some tasty bites for
before or during the show.
More than just
Dalmations.

Where would you send a devoted history
buff? I enjoy The Military Museums
(page 30) here in town, they have a great
selection of tanks, aircrafts and boats. My
two children love going and exploring. If
you are up for a drive, a little over two hours
south is the UNESCO World Heritage site
Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. It has a
beautiful visitor centre filled with so much
historic Indigenous information and gorgeous
vistas, but be careful of the wind; hold onto
those hats!
