Hitting Calgary for a week!

[ozymandias]

So I'm OMW to Calgary, AB and going to stay there for about a week. I live in BC so I'm planning to take advantage of being of drinking age as well as loosish alcohol regulation. I will not know a single soul there, aside from some older relatives so I'm looking for something to do.

Some ideas I have: pick up an evening jacket and a trench coat (maybe one on sale) so I'll hit H&M, Zara, Banana Republic since they are the only stores I know in my price range and which I don't have in my town. Any other ones? Maybe I'll spend a morning thrifting if it's raining or something.

Visit a cigar lounge and a hookah bar. Both are non-existent in BC except from Van, any suggestions?

Hit up Cowboys (random recommendation) and maybe an absinthe bar if there is even one.

I want to get some real Absynthe and a few bottles of 95% Everclear.

I'm not too worried about being alone there but I'm not really going to visit a lot of restaurants.

Can anyone give me some feedback on what I should do in Calgary?

Thanks.

Sit down in Eau Claire at lunch and oggle lululemon women running...

Cowboys is best on Thursday nights - work there 6 months, get free boobs (don't know if Vicars still has that policy)
