10 THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT BENTALL 5 CACTUS CLUB
Sometimes we're glad when a company messes with a good thing. Here's 10 things we loved about the newest Cactus Club:
1. The massive glass cube that houses the restaurant (and facilitates people watching).
2. The male to female ratio (we're guessing 5 to 1). Is this Calgary or what?
3. Bottles of Champers being popped all around on a Thursday at 2 p.m. Ditto.
4. Black-and-white Marimekko upholstered club chairs.
5. Bathrooms with individual monitors playing Fashion TV.
6. Mirrors that say "You are beautiful."
7. Three Basquiats downstairs and a Warhol up.
8. Rob Feenie's lunch menu, including a delicious rocket salad with panko chicken.
9. A trio of whimsically wrapped white chandeliers upstairs.
10. Three words: Proximity to Holts.
