6 Types Of Guys You’ll Definitely Meet At Winnipeg Bars
We Heart It

Is it just me, or do we all have that one friend who managed to meet her near-perfect boyfriend at a nightclub or bar one drunken Saturday night? I'm not sure how, cause in Winnipeg it feels like me and my friends are constantly meeting—then immediately ditching—the same kinds of guys everywhere we go.

Whether it's District Stop, Cowboys, The Palomino Club, or 441 Main, chances are you'll run into these guys at any of the local watering holes.
