I live here.

Basically you have the downtown walking strip called Stephen Ave Mall.....which is actually 8th Ave SW on the map. Bars, restaurants, and shopping, in a cool urban vibe. Great at lunchtime for people watching, as the office towers usually empty out between 11-2pm for the break. It's a business crowd and can be dead at night. Price $$ - $$$$

Walking down 4th St SW starting at 10 Ave SW over to 26 Ave SW is pretty much lower end bars and restaurants with a few pricier places thrown in. A middle aged to younger crowd. Price $ - $$$$

Westbound along 17 Ave SW from 4th St SW over to 14 St SW is the noisy and much younger aged section full of bars and fast/street food type restaurants. Price $ - $$$

Hope that helps. If you are staying in a hotel you should ask about it here, and you'll get a few answers. We have a bunch of members from YYC I think.
