One thing I noticed after being in Toronto the past 10 days, is there are so manyhole-in-the-wall bars, there has to be 50+, but seemingly so few in Calgary.

Places like.. this (note: the wide angle lens makes it look twice as big as it is)

or this

You get the idea. Small, narrow, dominated by a bar, intimate (which can be good or bad depending on the clientele).

I've been trying to think of what might be comparable in Calgary. I came up with Ming:

and Milk Tiger (former Bar Named Sue)

Anything else?

Maybe Jaro Blue? although it's perhaps more posh than I'm thinking.

Oh, and just to throw in another criteria: must have stools at the bar, ie a single person showing up wouldn have to sit at a table for 4 by themselves.
