Coyotes Bar and Dance Saloon in Calgary submitted Description

The Digs
A mixture of Top 40 and country tunes, scantily-clad bartenders and some country décor. What do you have? Coyotes.

Coyotes can be called another cookie cutter success story for Paul Vickers. In a fickle Calgary bar scene with ever-changing faces, Vickers has found success with long-lasting favourites like Cowboys, Ceili's, and The Drink. And it looks like the bar tycoon has unleashed another instant winner.

How can one go wrong with such a prime location (the old Dusty's Saloon), and a popular concept that is already well-familiarized and proven effective with Calgarian scenesters?

Coyote's is a huge venue, ideal for live acts and even more ideal for whooping it up Stampede-style year-round. The large dance floor allows you to kick up your heels while not kicking others, the numerous bars found in virtually every corner make it convenient to quench your thirst readily and steadily throughout the night and the staff makes it a virtual playground for the eyes.

However, this place is nothing new and that is why it will succeed. Same concept, different venue. Same drinks, different watering hole. Same music, different DJ. It's a kind of been-there, done-that bar that adds a safe feeling of recognition, a comforting aura of familiarity. A cookie cutter locale that promises to deliver your expected good time.
