They have the right attitude. The will all draw/keep people downtown and will feed off each other.
Almost without exception, the downtown pubs & restaurants are supportive of each other (e.g. retweeting, mentioning each other's events, etc), but many take it a step further... I routinely see staff & management from one establishment hanging out at "competitors'" businesses. They realize there's a lot of room for growth, and getting a critical mass of businesses is critical to the collective survival & prosperity.

Compare & contrast a certain restaurateur on Albert trying to monopolize & drive competition out (even reaching into Cathedral & using status as a landlord to squeeze out businesses that are taking the spotlight away from his establishments).
