The Drake - Canmore, AB

If you're in Canmore Alberta, and you've gone to the Grizzly Paw Pub to get a bite to eat and then maybe a little legless, then you might want to go to The Drake Inn & Pub afterwards to get wrecked.  After last call at the Griz, one of the few places still open is The Drake.

Haha, as you can tell, the clientele is pretty colorful, and it's pretty much party-time the minute you walk in.  The fella on the left there has a real Captain Jack Sparrow look....minus the pink pants.

The staff are just as lively as the customers.....we had shots this nite....lots of shots and I was pretty much messed up not long after arriving here.

The wings were absolutely ginormous.  They were juicy on the outside, nice bread coating and seasoned perfectly, and if I wasn't so full from dinner, I might have had more.  Suffice to say, the two wings I managed to eat came up shortly after.

When we arrived, there was a stage and a live band playing.  I'm not sure if they have this every night, but then again, it was a Wednesday night and the party was just getting started.

Most folks were from out of town, either just visiting or here on Working Holiday Visas, so you'll get a chance to meet people from all over the world.  I was only in Canmore for one night, but my impression was that there was definitely a party element of this town and we bumped into them at the Drake that night.

Like I said, if you're in town and you want to party late into the night, the Drake might be one of those places you want to hit.
