Great Guitarist's Play For A Great Cause

It was an amazing night of music, food and friendship at the University of Calgary Theatre on Monday night as the AHEPA Family, The Broken Plate Restaurants and the Alefantis Family sponsored an evening of music to benefit FARA and the search for a cure for Friedreich's Ataxia. This debilitating disease has recently touched the Greek community in Calgary and they rallied to raise as much money as possible to aid in researching a treatment and hopefully a cure. Dana and I were very grateful to be invited to attend this event by our good friend Diane Polesello on behalf of the Alefantis family.

The evening started with an awe inspiring array of food prepared by the talented culinary team from The Broken Plate. As usual, they out did themselves with everything from Thai Chicken in single serving take out boxes to Lobster Claws and my personal favorite, the Duck Cigar's. There was also an excellent selection of Greek wine with cheese platters and fresh fruit. Have you ever noticed when you attend a function in the Greek community, and they tell you there will be appy's, it is more like a gourmet Las Vegas Buffet! No wonder I hate my bathroom scale!

"One Night Only - Two Great Guitarists - One Great Show" definitely lived up to the billing, as world class guitarist's Pavlo and Calgarian Oscar Lopez put on a superb show. This was my first time witnessing the unbelievable guitar skill of Pavlo, who is no stranger to virtually all who attended. His talent is evident as soon as he walks on stage, but what really struck me was his passion for his art and how it is received by the audience. I have seen Garth Brooks, Janet Jackson and many, many more, but I have to say that this was one of the most enjoyable evenings I have ever spent listening to an artist. Pavlo will be returning to Calgary on February 28, 2010 to play the Jack Singer Concert Hall along with friends Oscar Lopez and Rik Emmet of Triumph to play new music from their album "Trifecta", if you can, make sure you get out and take in the show!

The silent auction was full of great items, from a spa weekend at the Banff Springs to autographed hockey sticks and jersey's from the Calgary Flames. I got the nod from Dana to bid on a few items, but in the end I left empty handed. A word to the wise, when you bid on sports memorabilia at a silent auction full of guys who own pubs and restaurants, bring your checkbook baby! My buddy Vic Alefantis bested me a couple of times, so I will have to visit Richmonds Pub to see my autographed Iginla jersey. It is kinda like the guitar in Wayne's World, "It will be mine..oh yes..it will be mine!" Bring it to the next poker night buddy, cause I'm bringing my "A" game!!

A great time was had by all who attended and the money raised went to finding a cure and treatment for this terrible disease.

Cheers!

The Rockyview Hotel is For Sale in Beautiful Cochrane Alberta!

One of Alberta’s oldest operating hotels, established in 1904 on Cochrane’s Main Street, this amazing Old West building has served this town and travellers making their way up and down The Cowboy Trail for almost 120yrs! This grand lady is famous throughout Southern Alberta for her historic commitment to traditional western hospitality, comfortable accommodations, great food, drink and service.

The building is in excellent shape and maintained with an attention to detail by its passionate owners. The inside breaks down into different revenue streams with 15 guest rooms, a Restaurant/Steakhouse with 56 seats inside and another 52 on the sunlit patio, and the 186 seat Texas Gate Bar & Grill.

The restaurant is an excellent example of the preservation of an Old West restaurant you would see in the movies, with iconic pressed tin ceilings, wood accents and country warmth you can’t recreate today. Featuring home cooked meals, friendly service and historic photos of Southern Alberta landmarks, all this combines to provide guests with a one of a kind experience.

The fully renovated 15 Guest Rooms are comfortable and quaint, combining the Western feel with modern comforts. They have a very strong demand from Calgarians seeking a weekend away from the city, as well as travellers passing through on their way to Banff, Canmore and beyond or headed north or south while exploring the famous “Cowboy Trail”.

The diamond of this business is The Texas Gate Bar & Grill, a 186 seat authentic Western saloon style bar, which has been beautifully renovated, while being sure to maintain and honour its history and character. The beautiful Cherry wood bar is a focal point of the room, which also features pool tables, VLT’s, dart boards and lots of TV’s for sporting events, Rodeo etc. There is a stage and an extensive sound system capable of hosting large live music events or just a Saturday jam session if you wanted. They currently host Line Dance Lessons, Karaoke and live DJ’s on Friday and Saturday nights.

There is so much to this awesome business that you really need to see it to understand just how special it is, so don’t hesitate to reach out for a tour.

**The address is not correct for confidentiality reasons** The beauty of a true neighbourhood pub is that it’s where the locals go, where neighbours meet, the social hub of a community. This pub is the definition of this, and they don’t come along in NW Calgary very often. This location has a great community reputation, with a ton of regular clientele. It is surrounded by single family homes, parks and recreational areas, lots of seasonal activities that you could use to build business. There is a very well equipped kitchen, giving you the ability to pursue a strong culinary program. The room is wide open with good sight lines and lots of options for how you would like to lay out games and tables. There are also VLT’s that will help with passive income. Please call to discuss this location in more details and get the due diligence package.

Best Value For A Restaurant I Have Had In Years!! Rent is only $2250 a month! The Modern Group of Restaurants is selling their "burger passion project" to focus on their other operations. The name is not included in this sale, they want you to bring your concept and make this location your own. This is an easy way to get into the restaurant business, it is fully equiped and in a high traffic, high density area that is perfect for delivery and take out. You could do Burgers, Sandwiches, Wraps, Shawarma...the possibilities are endless! The space is only a couple of years old so the equipment is in great shape and you could adjust the food offering to other formats if you would like, you just need to talk to the landlord. It has a fully vented kitchen and is counter service with common eating area and common washrooms. This is a low maintenance operation for the owner. This is the most cost effective way to open your first restaurant, especially if you have a concept in mind or have been doing popups!
