Was Jonathan Schachter at Backlot a mag?
This bar is a blast! I returned the very next night and would definitely come back whenever I'm in Calgary. The only downside is that the prices increase on weekends. I heard from the owner that they're closing down but are searching for a new location. I'm hoping they find one and can recreate this fantastic gay bar somewhere else. View all feedback.

What Annika Naylor dislikes about Backlot:
This is a gay bar not a queer bar! There was just a slideshow of only white men and their balls playing on multiple TVs but I felt really out of place as a queer cis woman. View all feedback.
