Calgary's tourism board would like you to believe that the city is still a haven for cowboys of the wild west - it would only be partially true. Although the city still boasts a vibe of its old west past, Calgary has definitely evolved into a burgeoning metropolis with a nightlife to match. [more]

Assuming you are not in Calgary to ride mechanical bulls, the best place to find a bucking good time is 1 Street SW, the heart of the city's nightclub district.

Clubs here mix it up with everything from Top 40 to the latest underground trance.

Even more clubs can be found in the Stephen Avenue Mall, a six-block stretch of 8 Avenue SW. Clubs here are upscale, dress-code spots with a young, professional scene.

Calgary's 17 Avenue SW offers a mix of brew pubs, martini bars and swank lounges for those with upscale tastes who choose to avoid the noisy club scene.

If casual is your thing, head over to Kensington Road NW. This neighborhood is full of cafes and brew pubs for a more relaxed crowd. [less]
