On May 7, 1967 Frank Krowicki and his partners opened Bar X Steakhouse on this location. Bar X was an economical, family style steakhouse and had a very good business here at the extreme south of Calgary's development.<br /><br />Never one to rest on his laurels, Frank became aware of the new trend of Casual Dining Steakhouse beginning in the United States, and decided to become one of the pioneers of this concept in Canada. After travelling. researching and creating a blend of the best of the best that he had seen, he added a few of his own ideas and decided to launch Smuggler's Inn in Calgary.<br /><br />He spent a great deal of time with his architect, Stavro Melathopoulos designing a timeless, comfortable environment, and Smuggler's opened May 7, 1972. It was attached to the Bar-X Steakhouse, and soon became so popular that more room was needed to accomodate the crowds. The Bar-X was closed, renovated, and re-opened May 7, 1974 as the Leather Bottle, an extension of Smuggler's Inn.
