Hayden Block Smoke & Whiskey is a bustling BBQ spot with a charming rustic ambiance, offering authentic Texas-style brisket and ribs alongside an extensive selection of whiskey cocktails. This popular establishment has gained a strong following among meat and whisky enthusiasts, boasting one of the city's largest arrays of American whiskies. Guests can indulge in long-smoked brisket, pulled pork, hot links, chicken, and beef short ribs served on communal tables or as share platters.
The "burnt ends" was a symphony of flavors, perfect with corn bread. The beef ribs are perfectly cooked and so tender and flavored. Last but not least, our waiteress was attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing our dining experience. She recommended several dishes are all so good and we leave without any leftovers. The dishes were beautifully presented and delicious!

Wow, very delicious food! So good even my picky eater daughter kept requesting the brisket. Make sure to order the broccoli salad - best side. The beans, macaroni salad, and Mac & cheese were also good. Piper was a great server. We were always checked on.

This was my first visit to Hayden Block Smoke & Whisky in Calgary, and I was not disappointed at all. If you're a vegetarian or vegan, it's best to go elsewhere, because this place smells like a genuine smokehouse, and it sure is, 100%. I ordered the brisket with the bacon wrapped smoked corn on the cob, and a cocktail on the side. And, my better half ordered the smoked wings, salt & pepper, and then a second serving of BBQ wings. I highly recommend giving them a try. Thank you staff for the wonderful experience. I will be back.

A great spot for late night BBQ and drinks! This is a go-to for me especially after 10pm for a steep discount on a certain selection of meats! You can get pulled pork, brisket and more after 10pm for 50% off if I remember correctly. This makes them really affordable and they're already worth full price. Soft, fall-apart brisket and delicious pulled pork. Tasty sausages and some amazing ribs and beef bones. There is a huge selection of drinks and also live music at certain times. Great ambiance and seating. Decent service and street parking will be required. Highly recommend for some delicious cuts of meat!

This restaurant shares the same owner as South Block, so the BBQ is just as great—the dishes are quite similar too. The brisket was delicious! The tacos and Benny from the brunch tray were also very tasty. I had a mango wheat beer, and overall it was a delightful weekend meal with friends.

We were just visiting Calgary and selected Hayden Block based on reviews. They were spot on and I also now highly recommend. We didn’t have a reservation but were able to get a great spot on the back patio shortly after 6p.m. The food and cocktails were delicious. Our party of 5 were there for many hours enjoying all they had to offer. We never felt rushed or pushed to wrap up and leave. Our server, Lisa, was fantastic. She was prompt, friendly, and continually made suggestions of different cocktails that suited my tastes. We felt so welcome and it was a night we will all remember.

We came here for my fiancé’s birthday dinner, and we were absolutely blown away! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive — they made us feel right at home. We started with the queso and chips, which were out of this world! The queso had just the right amount of spice mixed with a subtle smoky flavor that kept us going back for more. It was creamy, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the crisp, salty chips. If you come here, you have to try it — it’s a must! For our main dishes, everything exceeded our expectations and then some. The flavors were rich and authentic, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. It was the closest thing we’ve found to true Texas BBQ outside of Texas — tender, smoky, and full of depth. You can tell they put real care and love into their food. The overall experience was fantastic from start to finish. If you’re craving great barbecue and a relaxed, welcoming vibe, this place should definitely be on your list. We can’t wait to come back! The only thing of note was the lighting upstairs was awfully dark

I’ve been to Hayden Block a bunch of times over the years but hadn’t gone in a while. Went yesterday for a friend’s birthday and it was honestly such a great experience. Service was excellent. Super friendly and on top of things without being too much. The drinks were great and I really appreciate that they have mocktail options. Thank you for that! I forgot how good the food is. Everything we ordered was delicious. The pork belly is sooooooooo good—like, ridiculously good. I left wondering why I haven’t been coming here more often. Can’t wait to come back soon.

Restaurant

Mug Shotz Sports Bar & Grill is a Canadian sports bar located in Calgary, known for its wide variety of wing flavors and draft beer. The bar is celebrated as one of the best places in the city to enjoy wings, particularly on Wednesdays when they serve thick and juicy chicken wings. While their breaded wings are a trademark offering, those with gluten sensitivities may want to steer clear.
I love this place!! So many great flavors to choose from, and the wings are truly the best in the city! Quality products with amazing custom sauces! You can tell there is true heart in each kind of wing. I love the staff here they are friendly and always willing to make your night fun! You have to visit this place, it will be well worth your night. The menu is huge and has so many great things to choose from! The season fries are so yummy! This place truly feels like you’re hanging with family! One of the best bars in the city!

Sour Cream and Onion wings were unique and delicious. I didn’t get a pic but Electric Honey was also so good. Can’t wait to come back. All the servers were so kind too.
Carleeism — Google review
People rave about the wings here. So we had to check it out and I gotta say, the wings are very good. I’m told they don’t pre/partially cook them like many places do to save time and you can taste the difference. They’re juicier. You don’t get any of the petrified nubs. They aren’t skin and bones or fatty. The cook is perfect. And the flavors are great, even a little elevated The negative with made to order wings: you’re waiting. In this culture waiting 60-90 minutes for an order of wings is egregious (and common here from my understanding) I say “this culture” because I’m not sure this is actually a huge deal as long as you understand this ahead of time, don’t arrive starving and are prepared to make an evening of wings at Mug Shotz If you’re looking to crush a few plates of wings and a beer and be out in an hour for a killer price, that’s not the vibe here - which brings me to my next, somewhat complicated point: price Beer costs about what you’d expect from a dive in Ogden. At $17/lb wings are a bit expensive. I would probably assume local and or free range/organic for this price but maybe that’s just not realistic in 2025 even though there def are wings at proper restaurants that boast this for a fraction more I get it, I have friends who run and own restaurants, wings (and basically everything) are expensive. 25c wings are sold at a loss or if they’re lucky, break even. But on a Wednesday that’s kind of the point. You get a deal, you buy a few drinks, it’s asses in seats, and a full venue with new potential guests - everyone wins I’m not sure you feel like you won if you have 4 ppl, one of which is vegetarian who has 1 beer and a $9 small salad, one who has a Pepsi, the only other menu item is wings on special and the bill is $140 before tip Seems a touch steep for a wing night, in a dive bar, in an slummy mixed-use commercial building, in an industrial park, with absolutely zero parking… I mean how much is the rent here? A packed house with premium wing pricing and you can’t get another fryer or a can of paint? $17 is down town pricing so why does it feel like I’m in a small town in Saskatchewan? But…. this place was JAMMED, with a wait to get a table. So what do I know? And am I sincere that all these things add up to a bad proposition… Would I go back? Are the wings good enough? Yes… ish But with different expectations maybe and more prepared to wait and a different table (we sat at the very back where we were sweating, it was a solid 5 degrees warmer than every other table). These wings are sort of in an awkward tier with no competition - much better than wings that are much cheaper, a touch cheaper than wings that are better. But this is sorta how ppl are wired these days, always defaulting to the most middle option for the illusion of value It’s possible this is just a business strategy I’m not accustomed to. I prefer cheaper wings and drinks that are $2 more. Which would actually excel at Mug more than most places since you have nothing else to do but drink when you’re waiting 3-5 business days for wings Would I go at full price? Nah. It’s the few bucks they knock off that got us there. The wings are good but I’m comparing to other wing nights that are selling a pound for 1/5th the price so it’s not exactly apples to apples. I’m not sure it’s good enough to be a destination when you probably have a decent pub a stones throw from your house and they may have a mid wing night for $5.95 My advice: check it out, on a Wednesday, armed with calibrated expectations via my unnecessary detailed review and judge for yourself It might just become your spot I’m sure some day, when the salt has long exited my system, I’ll crave Mug Shotz wings and I’ll find myself standing in a line next to the claw machine for a janky table under the punishing light of a VLT immediately questioning my decisions

A Must-Visit for Wing Lovers – Mug Shotz Lives Up to the Hype! I recently visited Mug Shotz Sports Bar & Grill for the very first time, and I have to say—it completely lived up to its incredible reputation! After hearing that they were voted “Best Wings in Calgary” multiple times (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, and 2019!), I had high expectations—and they were absolutely met. I tried the classic Hot Wings along with the Teriyaki Wings, and both were outstanding. The hot wings had the perfect kick, beautifully balanced with a rich and creamy Blue Cheese dip that elevated the flavor. The teriyaki wings were a delicious contrast—sweet, savory, and topped with sesame seeds that added a great texture and finish. Cooked to perfection, these wings were clearly crafted by people who take pride in what they serve. The atmosphere was energetic and welcoming—just what you’d hope for in a proper sports bar. Even on a busy Wednesday night, the service was fantastic. Dean, my bartender, greeted me right away and made sure I was taken care of quickly and efficiently. The place was bustling, which speaks volumes about its popularity, yet everything still ran smoothly. I also had the pleasure of speaking with Charlene, the owner, which was a really nice and personal touch. Despite how busy the place was, she took the time to chat, which reflects just how much care and attention goes into both the food and the overall guest experience. Although I stuck to the wings this time, I’ve already made a mental note to try the Cheddar Broccoli with Bacon on my next visit—it comes highly recommended and sounds amazing. And with such a huge variety of wing flavors and other enticing menu options, I know I’ll be tempted to try something new each time I come back. Between the incredible wings, excellent service, and welcoming atmosphere, Mug Shotz is a spot I’ll be recommending to anyone looking for great food in Calgary. I’m already looking forward to my return!!

Bottlescrew Bill's Pub is a well-established family-owned establishment in Calgary, serving up classic pub food and an extensive selection of craft beers for over 40 years. The pub offers daily specials and a generous happy hour, along with a unique take on the traditional Canadian cocktail, the Caesar.

My wife and I had dinner and lunch here the following day. I will say the food is excellent. The burgers are a 10 and fries are amazing. Totally appreciate the BSB red ale. In house beer is cheap and fantastic. Secondly the staff are friendly and genuine. Lastly it’s located in the heart of downtown. The patio is excellent here as well. Please check this place out, you will not be disappointed.

Had an awesome time at Bottlescrew Bill’s in YYC! The atmosphere was lively, and the service was top-notch—staff were super attentive and friendly. The dry ribs were absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned and crispy. Tried the IPA and it was spot on—bold, fresh, and full of flavor. The stout was superb too, rich and smooth with a great finish. Definitely a great spot to kick back with good food, great beer, and even better vibes. Highly recommend!

Wings were crispy, but super overcooked and dry. The Bill's sauce, which others enjoyed, for the wings was odd; it tasted like a mix of buffalo sauce and teriyaki. I think I'd prefer them separately. At least a dog friendly patio.

I was just there with my boyfriend to watch a soccer game and couldn’t be happier with everything! Service was top notch, the perri-perri salad and dessert were 10/10 and even the 0 alcohol beer was super cold! Our service never rushed us out of the table like most places in Canada would do, he was the sweetest and most helpful person ever :) I’ve only been there before for beer but would definitely recommend it for food as well!

What a blast from the past. This is a historic Calgary Watering hole. They have been open for 35 years, I'm guessing. I hadn't been there in over 25 years... Good food and service, the atmosphere is a little dated. But that's not what you're going there for. They have a menu packed full of beers from all over the world. The Around The World In 80 Beers Passport looks like a good way to sample beers from all over the world. Having a year to complete also makes it manageable for those lighter drinkers. Count me in. Cheers 🍻

Got the “best wings ever” and in-house Gold beer. Although I got the honey garlic wings, I think the way the wings are fried, their crispiness really shone through with their dry rubs! Also, the 5$ beer specials were perfect for getting through an evening with eastern Canadians that have more stories than the Burj Khalifa. Great place to go with indoor and outdoor seating options.

hello dears my name is Susan Collingwoodth I am a seventh generation countess. I came to this bar to play bingo. My great niece and her 'rugby teammate' brought me to get my mind off of my recent breakup. I was in a relationship with a much younger man and he could not satisfy me. The server was lovely and his name was Adam, he seemed to know the menu very well and I appreciate a quick response when I ask about the origins of the poultry used in chicken wings. Bingo was fun and I am extremely good at it but this was clearly rigged. I have never seen such a blatant show of trickery and tom foolishness since I was runner up in the Miss Voluptuous Britain pageant in 1972. The winner, Deborah, ended up a twice divorced alcoholic. Serves her. My dapper was flying and filling in numbers faster than my neighbors diabetic daughter when the ice cream truck comes around. Yet it seemed the same people kept winning. I have written a letter to my local MP. Still giving four stars because the bar tender crafted an excellent white russian for me. May or may not be back in future.

The Hose and Hound Neighbourhood Pub is a bar and grill housed in a 1907 firehouse, offering a wide selection of beers on tap, large TVs, and classic comfort food. The pub is known for its unique wing night experience with 45 cent wings available in 20 different sauce and dry rub flavors every Wednesday from 4 p.m. until closing time. Despite its unassuming exterior, the interior is bright and open, retaining the historic charm of the former fire hall.
I recently visited The Hose and Hound Neighbourhood Pub in Calgary’s Inglewood district and tried their New York steak sandwich. The pub is housed in a historic 1906 firehouse, which adds a unique charm to its atmosphere.  The New York steak sandwich was satisfying, featuring a tender and flavorful cut of meat cooked to my preference. The portion size was generous, and the accompanying sides complemented the dish well. The pub offers a variety of comfort foods and beverages, making it a great spot for casual dining.  The service was prompt and friendly, contributing to an overall pleasant dining experience. Whether you’re interested in its storied past or simply looking for a hearty meal, The Hose and Hound Neighbourhood Pub is worth a visit.

Easiest 5 stars I’ve ever given. First time we’ve been here and it was just so amazing we will definitely be coming back. Ordered a chicken ceaser wrap with yam fries (by recommendation of our waitress) and let me tell you it was so good. The wrap felt fresh and packed with flavour but don’t get me started on the fries, they had to be hands down some of the BEST yam fries I’ve ever had in the city - I don’t know what they put in them but damn. Our waitress was great and they have a beautiful inside along with a stunning patio. Overall a great experience!

Popped in to try a new place in the area and was not disappointed!! The restaurant was very unique and the space was very bright and clean. Our server was very kind and provided great service! The portions of food were generous and everything tasted great! The food came out fresh & hot, the French fries we're some of the best I've had; crispy and seasoned to perfection! I would definitely love to come back and try some of their other items! 😊

The Hose and Hound Pub is a good spot to check out. I recently stopped by, and their fish and chips were good. They also offer the Pink Velvet beer, which is a nice mix of Wild Rose Raspberry and Velvet Fog. The servers were really nice and pretty quick, making the visit enjoyable. It's a comfortable place with solid food and friendly service.

Have passed this Inglewood establishments many times and finally stopped in for lunch today. The building is a former city fire hall and the decor reflects its former use. The food was good, the service was excellent and the lunch hour atmosphere was quite nice. The sound levels were not loud, at all. I ordered the steak sandwich and my wife had the taco salad. Both dishes were well prepared, with good portion sizes. My one complaint: I asked for my steak to be rare, but it was more medium. It was still delicious and good to eat. They emphasize sports as part of the atmosphere and there were several televisions broadcasting hockey and the Scotties women’s curling. A nice pub-grub atmosphere with a good menu and friendly service. We recommend!

Owned by the same company behind Hayden Block restaurant, this establishment offers Tennessee-style smokehouse with a focus on brushing meats with herbs and spices before smoking.
This place is great! We’ve been here several times and enjoyed pretty much all of their smoked meat dishes and sides, several whiskies, beers and cocktails. This last time we brought out of town friends and they all enjoyed it. Some of our faves were the brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork and beef ribs. I had a super tasty cocktail with tea leaves sprinkled on top. Lindsay was our server and she was a star! Top notch across the board.

Comery Block is easily one of the best barbecue restaurants I’ve visited. I ordered the pork ribs, brisket, beef short ribs, Frito Pie, and burnt ends, and every single dish was packed with flavor. The pork ribs were tender and smoky, the brisket had that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture, and the burnt ends were rich and delicious. The standout for me was the beef short ribs—absolutely incredible. They were perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. I’d highly recommend them to anyone coming here for the first time. On top of the amazing food, the service was excellent. My server gave thoughtful recommendations and really made my first visit enjoyable. The atmosphere is relaxed but lively, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Overall, Comery Block delivers top-notch barbecue with fantastic service. Definitely a 5-star experience, and I’ll be coming back for those short ribs again

We came here during stampede and was able to make a reservation with our big party of 18 for our highschool reunion. They accommodated us perfectly, we were seating in the back outside patio area and the server was super attentive and was able to put everyone on a separate tab at the end which was awesome. Food and drinks was great. Definitely made our experience a memorable one!

The sliced brisket sandwich was AMAZING. I’d go back to have it again. I also tried the creamy slaw and baked bean sides, both were generous portions with delicious taste. We had a large group at an outdoor table and the service and atmosphere were great. I highly recommend!

Visited Home & Away YYC and had such a great experience! The place is clean, lively, and perfect if you’re looking to catch a game or hang out with friends. The wings were super crispy and juicy inside, and the pizza and sauces were delicious. The staff were friendly and kept the vibe fun, and the service was pretty quick even though it was busy. Their happy hour deals make it even better. Highly recommend if you want a chill night out with good food, drinks, and a fun atmosphere! 🍻🍕🎯

I've come here a few times over the past five years. It's not a bad spot. It's generally not as crammed as Leopold's. Last night we stopped in for a couple drinks and some food. My girlfriend and I ordered the fried pickle chips and they were outstanding. Firstly they were the right thickness. Secondly, the spice was perfect. And then thirdly, they were fried just right. We were really impressed. The drinks we ordered (house beer and a cocktail) were nothing to write home about but cheap enough I wasn't too concerned. Overall, not a bad spot to start the night!

Celebrated a friend's milestone birthday this past weekend! Food is good here especially the chicken wings- S&P and lemon pepper are definitely my favourites! The server- she was amazing...super sweet and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests plus the food came on time despite being a super busy night! Liked the fact that there was a live DJ that played some awesome tracks of all genres-old school and contemporary! Ambience not the best as it was very noisy/loud especially the table across from us! Lots of yelling, screaming just rowdy in general as a result difficult to hear or engage in conversation hence the 4 star rating! Overall a decent night for sure!

I'd come here a few times since I moved to Calgary a year and a half ago. Always appreciated Gord at the bar remembering my usual drink, the selection of sports available to watch, and the food was perfectly good pub grub. Checked their website recently and saw it was updated, with a new menu. It was Saturday and the daily special was steak frites, so I decided to try it out while watching playoff hockey. (Note: it was UFC Night so most TVs had that on, along with the sound system). Got there just after the game started and sat myself, waited a few minutes until a server noticed me, asked if I'd been helped yet, then another one came over, gave me a food menu and took my drink order. She brought me my drink, and then disappeared for over half an hour. I saw her hanging out by the bar, and back by the kitchen, but didn't see her working the floor much. It was almost the end of the period and I'd decided I was going to leave at intermission, when I got her attention and she came over. I ordered the steak frites, medium. She brought it out in a timely manner. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe medium is still pink. This was closer to well done, see photo. The place wasn't terribly busy when I left, maybe half full.

Down to earth joint with a fun crowd. Really wish the food taste was better. Fish n chips - the fish was just too oily and the butter chicken was just too “sweet and processed/TV/Dinnery”… will be back though for the drinks and fun times. Service was a bit of a hit n miss.

This was my first and last time here. I ordered a pick up order for the BBQ mushroom funguy burger with fries and gravy. The burger was disgusting. It was soggy, the toppings where old, the burger patties had fat and grease slime on them. The where also not cooked. The patties where pink. They charge 2 dollars extra for a tiny container of gravy. Tried calling to talk to a manager and he was rude. He said he had no problem with the burgers and maybe it was just mine. Definitely won't be back.

Excellent Mexican pizza was awesome! Banana peppers gave it just a bit of zing ... just right! Fish n chips (sub chips with side salad).... fish was great but the vinigarret dressing was just "altight". The burger had great flavor but not that many chips. Definitely a "bar" style burger.... and the side gravy definitely needs upsizing! Service was great....constant attention to our needs. Four star for the food mostly due to the great pizza! Oh.... the music bingo was a lot of fun!

Decided to go to the pub to watch the hockey game, which is usually a rare occasion. We ended up being very lucky with one of the best waiters we have ever encountered, Nicole W. She was absolutely phenomenal. We never went without a drink, quick to take our order when we were ready for some appetizers, she was on the ball constantly! To go along with her amazing performance, she was also very kind, and had a great attitude! She deserves to be at the top, and rewarded for her hard work!

Took a seat at the bar for what I thought would be a quick Friday brew after work and the service was so exceptional I stayed for dinner and invited my mom for a bite as well! The two lovely bartenders serving me were totally on point all evening, *Shaila* and I forget the 2nd(sorry). I had a few pints with the New York strip that was on special and my mom had the quesadillas. Steak was done to perfection my only critique of the entire evening would be the frozen veggies served as a side. They didn't do the cut justice- I would have preferred grilled asparagus spears or something fresh & simple. I'll definitely be back as a regular!

I usually order delivery so not commenting on Servus or atmosphere. The pizza is hands down best pizza in town. A Canadian owned place, which is important these days, you will never find they skimp on ingredients. I usually buy the Hawaiian pizza and loaded with cheese and sweet pineapple and fresh ham. The voila pizza is also best ever as well if want vegetarian type. I do wish they had a 14" pizza for 12" for company just not always enough.

The vegetables with hummus were fresh and delicious. It came with slices of red pepper, cucumber, celery and thick pita bread. I ate it for dinner along with the coconut shrimp, which was also tasty.

Tucked away in a lively corner, the pub I visited had a vibrant atmosphere typical of an evening crowd, with a bit more noise than one might prefer for a quiet conversation. I ordered the Champion's Burger, which was hearty and flavorful, living up to its name, while my companion chose the Prairie Top Sirloin—a well-cooked, tender cut that showcased quality meat. Both dishes were satisfying and reasonably priced, making it a solid choice for a casual meal. Service by Brynn was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience.

They have wing specials on Wednesday and Thursday. Probably the best bang for your buck in the entire city honestly. Wings are great. We went on a Thursday - place was packed for wing night as expected. But service was still reasonably fast and courteous. It's a great neighborhood pub and there is plenty of parking in the area. Highly recommend their lemon pepper and honey garlic wings. Just be warned that if you arrive at prime evening hours during Wednesday or Thursday, you'll probably have to wait for a table since the place is packed for wing nights.

Stopped in on a post work walk for a pint and a quick bite to eat. As soon as I walked through the door the bar staff apologized there were no spaces at the bar because there was a Flames game on shortly and pointed out a small table by the window that was free. The Guinness was solid, the place is small enough to be friendly, big enough to have a great atmosphere. Serving staff bent over backwards to make sure all was well. Food was hot, fast and tasty. Can't fault the place. Give it a go, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

An Unexpected Delight at St. James Corner Restaurant & Irish Pub Sometimes, serendipity leads us to a memorable experience, and that's precisely what happened during my recent visit to St. James Corner Restaurant & Irish Pub. It was a delightful accident, as I had initially planned to meet a friend at another restaurant. However, I couldn't be happier with the outcome, as the establishment exceeded all expectations and won me over with its warm atmosphere, exceptional service, and authentic Irish charm. Upon entering the establishment, I was greeted by a beautiful waitress who immediately made me feel welcome. Her genuine hospitality was the epitome of the Irish warmth and friendliness that I had heard so much about. Even though I was not a regular, she gave me the VIP treatment from the moment I walked in. The attentive service she provided made my visit truly unforgettable. Though my stay was brief, I couldn't help but take in the cozy atmosphere and inviting ambiance of the pub. The decor was charming and reflected the essence of a traditional Irish pub with its dark wood furnishings, historical memorabilia, and intimate lighting. It was an ideal setting to unwind, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a quiet drink. Although I didn't have the chance to savor the food, I could tell from the tantalizing aromas and the satisfied faces of fellow patrons that the cuisine was authentic and delectable. The menu seemed to offer a wide range of traditional Irish dishes and pub favorites, enticing me to return for a proper meal in the future. As I reluctantly took my leave, I made a promise to myself that I would return to St. James Corner Restaurant & Irish Pub, not just for the exceptional service, but also to experience more of what this delightful establishment has to offer. I wholeheartedly give it a well-deserved 5 stars and eagerly look forward to my next visit.

Ordered on Skip - figured it's been around a long time, must be good. Nope. I give some leniency for some things with delivery, but that wasn't what this was about. The burger was all around just meh, and the meatballs were not bad. My side of fries was quite small, and the side of gravy I got tasted like curry?? I have nothing against curry, but that's not what I was expecting. Also I don't think they even have anything with curry on the menu, so that's confusing and a bit concerning. Only half of my beef dip actually had much meat on it, though that's likely a blessing considering it was leathery and overcooked. The au jus wasn't a liquid, it was closer to a gravy consistency - not a big deal except that it seemed like they left it simmering for hours, and didn't season it at all. It was like it was just very concentrated grocery store beef broth. Only good part was the bun. Overall disappointing, likely won't try again.

DO NOT GO HERE!! 0/10 – Rude, Discriminatory, Unwelcoming My mom, sister, and I saw there was a Saturday wing deal and thought we’d check it out while in Calgary for our Mother's Day weekend. After bringing our drinks (a Caesar, pop, and water), the server didn’t come back for 20 minutes. we didn’t even have menus. We tried to get her attention, but she was busy chatting with the bartender, cleaning a table, and repeatedly serving the people behind us. It’s a small section with only about five tables by the VLTs, so it was clear she was avoiding us. When she finally came back, we asked for the wing special to go since it was obvious we weren’t going to get proper service. She said we couldn’t get the special for takeout and that since my mom had a Caesar, she could only get one order of wings. Because I ordered water, I wasn’t eligible for the special at all. None of this was mentioned on their site or communicated to us beforehand. When she first took our drink order, she even mentioned that wings and pizza were on special...so why not tell us about the restrictions then? When I asked her directly, "So I can’t get the special?" she responded, “Well, you can’t expect to walk in here, not get something, and get the special.” Beyond rude. Would not recommend. We couldn’t help but notice a certain bias. 🧍🏼‍♂️

I've been going to Big Als for many years . Haven't been in a while . A few of my girlfriends and I attended to watch a couple of bands . The service was excellent. Nicky was our server . Big shout out to the chefs as we ordered a couple of platters , they were absolutely delicious. All staff are friendly and greet you with a smile .

We arrived around 9:30 pm on a Saturday, and it was surprisingly quiet. The server was super helpful and greeted us right away. We ordered half and half and cheese fries, and they were both delicious!

I’ve been going there since 2022 when I arrived here as an international student till now my every visit would be a 5 star My friend visited from toronto today and I told him we got this place it’s one of the best chicken’s you’ll ever have in your life. When the order arrived, I was embarrassed to serve it to one of my guests. Maybe it was cause I ordered at 9:30 but even when I ordered a few days ago the drumstick bogo is was really really good. don’t know what happened sauce wasn’t even drizzled they included as a drip and btw this was 43$ including the bulgogi large fries

You’ll not regret it!! For parking, it’s just hard to find parking there or in kengsington area in general bcs it’s always busy, you gon need to go around atleast once to spot a parking spot but it’s totally worth it!

The big guy packing orders is very rude. Yelling at a delivery driver for standing out of the way waiting. Made me very uncomfortable to watch. The driver said I am fine where I am and don’t need to sit as I sit all day driving. He was so aggressive for absolutely NO reason. Do better Sir Also, both of your business licenses are expired There were only 3 seated tables and 8 or 9 open. This man was arguing about packing an order and then walked away and started to polish cutlery. Continually arguing with the delivery driver, raising his voice and not caring at all for the customers in the place. Horrible attitude. Won’t be back

This is my favourite place for Korean chicken in Calgary. The service was good overall (but took a long time to get water refills) and the food was excellent. Possibly the best fries in the city and the chicken was so crispy yet juicy! The original could have more flavour (tastes mostly like breading) but all the flavoured options were great. My favourite is probably garlic soy, but spicy was really nice too. The interior design of this space is by far the nicest of any Korean chicken restaurant in the city, and the prices are fair too. Will definitely be back!

Moose's Beanery & Bar Room is a charming neighborhood pub that perfectly captures the essence of casual dining. With an inviting atmosphere, it offers a selection of draft beers and classic comfort food, making it an ideal spot for sports enthusiasts to catch their favorite games on TV. The unpretentious setting allows guests to relax and enjoy hearty meals like chicken wings and club sandwiches, complemented by daily specials such as the vintage burger.
First time at this Bar/ Restaurant and the atmosphere is just perfect and service was excellent. My husband ordered the Steak sandwich (rare) and it was perfect and delicious came with green salad. I ordered the beef dip which came with a lot of beef, fries and gravy and it also was delicious. We also had a drink each. Washrooms were very clean.

PROS: -Friendly but very slow service -Food is pretty good and tasty CONS: -Obnoxiously loud music. 90% of the guests where over 65 years of age. Music should be in the background and not overpowering so that it is impossible to have a conversation. OVERAL IMPRESSION If you don't mind the loud crappy music, give this place a try as the food is pretty good.

Been here 3 times now. Food is pretty good, service isn’t too bad, but what prompted me to finally leave a review is two-fold: first of all, I got a pizza with a side of ranch. Ate half the pizza and used all of the ranch so asked for a box with another side of ranch to go because it was homemade and very good. But when I got the bill I saw they charged me SIX DOLLARS for two small ranch dips!! Absolutely criminal. Should be a maximum of $2 per dip. And the second reason is after we paid the bill, we didn’t see our server again for 45 minutes and we were all super thirsty and wanted dessert, but no one ever came back to our table. In future I won’t ever pay the bill until I am ready to leave, because not being served after the bill is paid is really bad service, and really made me regret the $25 tip that I left. For that kind of money I expect to still get served water after I’ve paid the bill. If I’m still sitting at the table, then I still expect service. That’s serving 101. Side note: the Monday 1/2 apps is a good special, but they only have about half of the apps available for the special which is pretty limited. Also, their Tuesday wing special isn’t actually special at all. It’s $9 for a pound which is basically $1 a wing. Not a good wing deal at all.

Good tap beer, tasty Caesar cocktails and real fine food. Our server (Helina) was friendly and very attentive. All this in a fabulous atmosphere. Prices were consistent with the inflated economy. We will both return here again and look forward to our next visit. ================================== ================================== I return here often for the fine pub grub and comfy atmosphere.

The Regal Beagle Pub is a laid-back, family-owned establishment in Calgary known for its karaoke nights and wide selection of chicken wings. The pub offers an array of wing flavors, including a spicy 'suicide' version for the daring. In addition to wings, patrons can enjoy mac and cheese bites, burgers, and daily specials on the spacious dog-friendly patio.
We had an enjoyable Wings Night here! It was during a long weekend so the place was not crowded at all. Although it was a bit pricey but the wings were sizeable and delicious! We ordered Lemon Pepper, Garlic Parmesan, Mango Habanero, Caribbean Jerk, Honey Garlic, Dill Pickle and Beagle. As for drinks, we ordered Shirley Temple, Twisted Tea, Caesar Cocktail, Beer, Pepsi and Ginger Ale. There are many lovely decorations all around the pub and that makes the place interesting and gives out good vibes. Our server was very nice, cheerful and attentive too! She definitely deserves a 5 star! *Went for another round of wings with hubby and enjoyed the food and drinks served!

Honestly - pretty standard low end pub fare. But they’re inspiring. One day I want to be so brave as to be able to charge $4 extra to change the side of fries to what is the worst Caesar salad I’ve ever seen like this location does. Boldness like that must really make life better.

Came here on a Monday night with my son. We ordered 30 wings and a caeser salad. Wings are 50 cents each. They waitress’s was so busy she couldn’t even come back and check on us even thought I waved at her several times. She clearly saw us but chose to ignore us. She was pleasant when she finally finally decided to check up on us (30min later ) . One server and one bartender for the whole establishment? I’m wing night? Unacceptable. Out of sheer desperation for time I sent my son to the waitress to place the order of Caesar salad . The hot wings were over cooked and chewy like jerky. The garlic Parmesan were flavourless and super super tiny 😡 The breaded salt and pepper were way tooo peppery even though I asked it to be lightly peppered, they can were still completely covered in pepper and my son could barely eat them. I could barely eat them Croutons in caeser salad were horrifyingly stale and gross . The leaves were soggy and wilted and the dressing was overly bitter and almost tasted rancid . I could not believe people were actually eating it. The garlic toast that comes out with the salad was the only enjoyable treat, but even that was good either . All in all not going back as I couldn’t believe the waitress just chose to ignore us.

Came here for wings night on Wednesday and really enjoyed it. Wait staff was awesome and really attentive. Wings were generously sized. The breaded wings were juicier while the sauced ones tended to be drier. Flavor selection is great though suicide option is not offered on wings night. Pitchers of beer was also reasonably priced.

A good friend of mine and I went to Buffalo.Bob's for Valentine's, believe it or not, and I have to say that the steak was just as good as the Keg. The food was amazing, and our server,and I can't remember her name, but she had brunette hair and was wearing a gray blazer was absolutely phenomenal. Buffalo Bobs is one of my favorite pubs to frequent and and it's just a nice little casual establishment. I would have picked going out for Valentine's to this pub over and Earls or the Keg any day. My friend had never been there before and we will definitely return again.

Went for happy hour on a Thursday night with a largish group. I ordered their happy hour skillet nachos with added chicken and wine. The serving of nachos was definitely larger than the Pig and Duke’s or Royal Exchange and wasn’t lacking in cheese or toppings. Definitely a dive bar in terms of the lack of atmosphere but our waitress, Roxy, provided good service with just the right amount of sass. I hear their margaritas are good so I’ll be back.

Been here in person once for wings, they were okay, the buffalo wings had parmesan cheese on it for some reason and they overpowered the sauce but overall it was decent. This all changed when I decided to order wings delivered by skip today: the buffalo wings arrived with basically no sauce on it and was virtually flavorless. Not sure about other fare but I'd honestly avoid the wings.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, this restaurant is known for its Louisiana-style cuisine and slow-cooked meats, with over 200 pounds of meat smoked daily. What sets Booker's apart is its seafood menu, offering delectable snow-crab legs that can be added to any meal.
Good food. Good service. The brisket and the turkey were both very tender, moist and tasty. Best side we had was the Mac and cheese. On Saturday nights they have a band that starts later. The band is good but makes it hard to have conversations at the table. It’s good either way but keep it in mind when booking.

Three of us shared a number of dishes starting with Caesar & green salad. Very good but the green had a bit too much dressing for our liking. Sausage was really tasty but a bit over cooked. Now the brisket & ribs were delicious & mouth watering. Well seasoned, needing no sauce. Our server was very friendly & attentive. Great job nice to see!!

I went around lunch time, it was pretty empty so that was good. We were greeted quickly and served drinks. The Mac and cheese was bland, but the brisket was delicious, the sauce was a little too sweet though. The sausage was good and the deep fried pickles were delicious. Crab cakes were forgettable. I tried all the sauces and my favorite was the maple bourbon. This was a good place to have a nice lunch, give it a try!

Oh my gosh- if you haven’t actually been to Bookers BBQ and Crab Shack you need to! First off. The Brisket burnt ends- so freaking good. The deep friend pickles. So good. The Crab is so fresh and tasty. You will absolutely not regret going. The first time I walked through the doors I was honestly speechless. It looks like a hole in the wall dive but you walk in and it’s so nice- and the first thing you smell is the meat smokers. You can’t walk in the door and not instantly be hungry. And we’ve never had to wait long for our food. So good.

We stayed across the road at Regal Suites on our visit from Wales, UK 6 days ago. Bookers is amazing. We didn't have a reservation but we wanted food and a table to watch Calgary Flames on TV, they gave us a stool seated table for 2 in front of the bar and TV's, perfect! We ordered 3 different brisket dishes and all were soooooo good. Bonnie the smoking oven and its chef do an awesome job. Everyone was so polite and helpful. Nothing negative to say about this place just some advice as i own a bar myself......Just hold back on the re-approach to table by waitresses. We were asked did we want another drink 3 times within 15 mins, i was only half way down my beer on the 3rd approach. When there is about an inch of liquid left in the glass that's the time to re-approach. Love this place and thank you.

Came here for the mac and cheese fest, but everything was amazing. I didn't know cream of mushroom soup could taste this good, and with the slightly crunchy focaccia on the side? Wow.

The food here was awesome. Really flavorful, and very homey. Basically upscale home cooking. The service was bizarrely terrible. The gals who came around to the table were extremely friendly and obviously professional and effective servers from what I saw, but they just never came around much. Initially, after we waited about 10 mins after being seated and given water, the gals who came over said we had come during a shift change so there was confusion about who was serving us (the restaurant was not very busy at all - 2 other tables on our level), so that was understandable. But it didn’t improve. Dirty dishes sat for several minutes before being cleared, we waited a long time for the bill, and we were halfway done our meal before anyone checked if we were enjoying it. We didn’t go there with high expectations, and while we enjoyed our food, we certainly won’t be rushing back.

Lovely neighbourhood spot for delicious comfort food in a casual setting. We have been coming here for a few years, and we always leave with happy bellies and big smiles. The food is great, but it’s sometimes inconsistent depending on the day and time. Recently, we dined in on their Monday pizza night, and the place was jam-packed and bumpin’. The pizzas were fresh and delicious - and half off as a bonus…excellent value. The burger, fries, and prawn tacos were pretty good as well, although they have been better when ordered in the afternoon. Our server was super friendly and kind, although more staff would probably help with their availability and attentiveness. If you plan on dining in on their weekly special evenings, give yourself lots of time to sit and relax. The owners are very generous and give back to the community through donations, which we greatly appreciate. Overall, we love 4th Spot, and we look forward to coming back!

Having driven by 4th Spot numerous times, we finally decided to pop in for lunch a while ago. Parking can be a bit difficult to find as there's only a small parking lot and street parking. We started with their meatballs, which had a nice sauce and a generous amount of cheese. The flavour was pretty good and the toasted bread was nice for dipping in the sauce. I found my pasta to be, unfortunately, quite dry. The parmesan cheese was dropped in a pile instead of spread out on top, which ended up sticking together in a blob. As for the green onions - it had no purpose other than acting as a garnish since the flavour didn't enhance anything in the pasta. He also didn't find the smash burger very memorable or particularly outstanding. Overall, we found our experience to be just below average, considering the pros and cons seemed to be somewhat balance each other out.

We are new to Calgary and heard nothing but rave reviews about 4th spot, so of course being foodies we had to check it out. The resturaunt has a nice patio out front and a resturaunt area and a pub up top. We had our 1.5 yr old with us as people stated it is an amazing kid friendly place. We were seated quickly, but it took 10 min for us to get our drink orders in, in which we ordered our food at the same time as our baby was getting tired. The place didn't seem overly crowded but extremely understaffed. Thank goodness I had snacks in my bag for my baby as it took almost 50 min to get our 3 meals. My daughter had the pulled pork mac n cheese it was to die for so delicious! I had the chicken souvlaki on a pita with fries and gravy. My fries were unfortunately cold and my pita was a bit hard but the garlic hummus was 🤤 and the gravy had a hint of sweet flavor to it. My guy had the maple burger it was delicious as well, and unfortunately his fries were cold as well. We just ate them and didn't complain as the server stated they were short staffed. Over all the food was good, but the service could be better.

I had the pizza. It looked good and had a tonne of meat and toppings. But as I got into it the dough was raw. On the table was also the Dave’s Smash burger. It looked great though. They did credit me back on the food. First time there so it wasn’t a great start. But I will go back and try it again.

Palomino Smokehouse is a popular BBQ joint in Calgary, known for its slow-smoked meats and rustic ambiance. The restaurant offers a variety of premium barbecue options including Kansas City pork ribs, Alberta beef brisket, Spolumbos smoked sausage, pulled pork, turkey, and chicken. Their menu also features chili, stews, mac n cheese as well as the buzzworthy Beyond Meat veggie burger.
Probably the best barbecue place in Calgary. Great service, great vibe, big portions, and tasty food. Live music on Friday nights, happy hour 3-6pm on Fridays ($6 alcoholic drinks), and brunch on Saturday mornings. Can't go wrong any time of the day. The Alberta brisket sandwich and Texas breakfast (for brunch only) are highlights. Tried one of the "block" restaurants nearby (a competing barbecue chain) and it's nothing close to this. Smaller portions of worse food. If you are looking at reviews, stop reading and come here, this is the place.

Are you looking for delicious smoked beef brisket? How about pork, or turkey? And do you enjoy the meat sweats? Yes? Then the Palomino Smokehouse is a definite must try for you. Palomino is located along the C-Train tracks in downtown Calgary. Having been around for more than 20 years, it’s an institution when it comes to mouthwatering barbecue, lively atmosphere, and vibrant live music scene. The experience is casual / rustic and not much for frills. As the name eludes, they specialize in slow-smoked meats. The ingredients all seemed to be high quality (according to the semi-pro meat smoking team members I had lunch with) and the portions were enormous. Of the 6 people at our table that ordered the full pound of brisket, only one managed to eat more than half! Not just brisket either, you can get pulled pork, ribs, turkey and a variety of other smoked delicacies including jackfruit … whatever that is. The side dishes are equally as delicious including the bacon wrapped corn on the cob which I would suggest getting a double order of. The lower level seems to be set up for live music performances and more of a bar atmosphere. Haven’t been here outside lunch so can’t comment on what that would be like but I hear they have some pretty epic Stampede events. I highly recommend Palomino for lunch and to kick-off the afternoon nap under your desk at work!

Definitely grabs your attention and leaves an impression right when you walk in. I love the decor in there. I didn't have a chance to grab anything to eat but it definitely smells good and people were enjoying their meals. The entrance to this place is right off of 7th Avenue between 1st Street West towards city Hall. Great place to come and have some lunch or dinner and a few frosty ones. Down in the basement there's another huge space that has live music on the weekends. Overall great vibes I'm glad that I walked in today.

I was last here in 2018 and we had such a great experience when I was back this week with a different group I suggested we had to go here. Unfortunately the quality has declined. Two people in my group found their meal was only lukewarm and my brisket was a bit dry. It was still fairly good, but nowhere near the quality from a few years ago. The waitress was very nice and the atmosphere is causal, comfortable and rustic. Photos compare the meal from now (red checks) to 2018.

Went for lunch on a weekday with our toddler. Brisket: mediocre, but tasted better with sauce (ketchup, smoked mustard, plus three different BBQ sauces). Garlic fries: fantastic, definitely order these. Green beans: Good, would order again. Sweet tea: 10-12 oz, but half the size they are in the States. No highchairs or booster seats. No diaper change table. Very friendly staff, great service, open kitchen so you could see them prepping food. Shaded patio out back.

Ok, what to say! The best!! It's hard to find good bbq, let alone amazing bbq. This place is one of the best places I've had, the best, every time I eat here. My first time here was back in 2011, got hooked. I'm from Vancouver BC but every time I'm in Calgary, I have to eat here. Almost always get the Alberta cheese steak. It's my go-to. My wife had the pitt boss, slammin! My kid got the brisket sandwich. She destroyed it. Decor is awesome. Music fits the vibe. So, you got to try this place.

Trolley 5 Brewpub is an industrial-style space located in the Beltline area of Calgary, named after the historic No. 5 Trolley Line. The brewpub offers a wide range of house-brewed beers and a diverse menu featuring pizzas, pastas, burgers, and recently added barbecue favorites that are smoked in-house for up to 14 hours.
My husband and I got married at Trolley 5 this summer and it was nothing short of amazing. From our first meeting with the event coordinator, Ashley, we knew we picked the right venue and that planning would be a breeze. Ashley met with us several times to go through the details of the wedding and always had solutions and prompt responses to our requests. Trolley 5 did an excellent job at allowing us to customize our day so that we got everything we wanted. The ceremony was on the second floor atrium which had plenty of space for our 100 guests. There are floor to ceiling windows allowing plenty of natural light into the venue and it really created a calming ambience for our special moment. We chose to have our cocktail hour in the taproom in the basement which was a super fun space for us to connect with our guests after the ceremony. For the reception we headed back upstairs to the atrium after the room was flipped. Instead of a plated or buffet dinner we opted to order a bunch of appetizers and pizzas for our guests. Every single person who commented on the food said it was amazing. Throughout the night, the Trolley 5 staff were impressively on top of things. No one was left waiting too long for drinks or more food. They were all super friendly too and never made us feel like we were asking for too much. Needless to say, we had an absolute blast and ever since have been wondering how we can do it all over again :). Thank you so so so much to Ashley and to Dustin, you guys crushed it and we hope to keep in touch with you throughout the years to come!

Fun place to watch the hockey playoffs! Good food & friendly staff -their beer was good but not cold and the McDavid cocktail was not good- too much flavours going on. Fix the warm beer problem ( maybe frosted glasses would help ) and I would then give 5 stars. Still a great patio

Went for lunch and had a good meal. The breakfast brisket, chicken Caesar salad, and smashed avocado toast. The brisket was a standout, and the salad was solid. The smashed avocado toast was too sour with a lot of lime juice. Service was friendly and a nice street patio.

I was at Trolley 5 a few days ago and had the brisket. As someone with cerebral palsy that affects my right hand, I’m unable to use a knife and fork—so I usually need help with meals like this. But I’m 99.9% sure the brisket was made with someone like me in mind. I could cut it easily with just a fork. And oh my gosh, it was amazing! The flavour was absolutely insane, the tenderness was a dream, and the variety of sauces to go with it? All 20/10. The plate didn’t last 15 minutes—once I started, I couldn’t stop. It meant so much to not only have a meal I could eat completely on my own, but also for it to be so damn good. I’ll definitely be back! Thank you <3

Had always wanted to try this place after driving by it a number of times, and now we live in the area we finally had the chance to try it out. We just wanted a place to eat and to sit out on a nice patio with the nice weather we are finally having. We expected to have just normal/average pub grub but were both so pleasantly surprised that the food is actually awesome - much better than what we were expecting! We have eaten in a lot of places all over and really love our food, so when we are impressed it definitely means we will be returning again. Hubby had the smoke house burger and said the brisket was smoked perfectly and the burger just tasted amazing and loved the fries as well. I had the "hangover special" and it was delicious and also loved the fries. All in all - we were super impressed, thank you, we will be back!!

I had a great experience coming to Trolley 5. The servers were very friendly, and when we had a slight mixup with our order one of the managers JP was very quick to clear things up for my group. It was also very nice that he also made a huge effort to check in with us periodically to ensure we we're having a good time. Great food, great drinks, and a very attentive staff Huge recommend.

We had our wedding on the Main floor of Trolley a couple weeks ago and it was amazing. We were initially bummed that the atrium was not available for our wedding but they assured us we could do it on the main floor and it would be just as great and they did not disappoint! Food was delicious, atmosphere was fun and it turned out having the patio was a perfect addition to a summer wedding for people to cool down and have a quieter place to mingle. Ashley(and staff) had clear communication leading up to our event and wait staff made sure no one had an empty drink! I would definitely recommend trolley for any big event or even just a night on the town.

Last Best Brewing & Distilling is a modern brewpub located in the vibrant Beltline area of Calgary's City Centre. This popular spot offers a diverse selection of in-house crafted beers, including IPAs, dark lagers, milds, and sours. In addition to their renowned craft beers, Last Best Brewing & Distilling also boasts award-winning gin cocktails that are batch-distilled on-site. The spacious and stylish brewpub features an open layout with exposed red brick and retro design elements.
I’ve been to Last Best many times and always have great food and service. The spicy chicken sandwich always slaps, as well as the smash burger. I got the beet salad this last time and it was pretty good, but I wish the beats were a bit more seasoned. Monday nights are Trivia and it is run very well with a gift card to Last Best for the winning team (when I was there at least). I have had Denise as a server many times, and she is always a sweet heart.

My friend and I went to happy hour for the first time. Since it was during Stampede, everywhere was busy — and this bar was no exception. But what really surprised me were the happy hour drink prices and the food! Especially the food! There weren’t a lot of options on the menu, but the portions were generous and everything tasted amazing.

What a lucky find! We were searching for a brewery near our hotel and stumbled upon this place just 150 meters away. We stayed at the Residence Inn. It was a no-brainer, and we were absolutely thrilled with our discovery! The beer selection was fantastic; my husband was a huge fan of their Tokyo Drift, and I particularly enjoyed the Hazy IPA. The atmosphere was spot-on – a great vibe with the music at a perfect volume. The food was also delicious. We shared the shrimp linguine (a little pricey and no garlic bread, but tasted good) and the beef birria nachos, this one was generously portioned and paired really well with their green goddess dip. And the cheesecake wrapped in phyllo pastry with a berry compote? Pure genius! It's a must-try. All the servers were friendly, but Jasmine was exceptional. She was awesome and gave us some great recommendations not just for their offerings at Last Best but also for exploring the Calgary area. We loved it so much, we actually came back the following night for another round of craft beers! We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area.

I had an okay experience at Last Best. The biggest highlight was the lively atmosphere on a Thursday night – it was bustling, which added a fun vibe. The happy hour pricing was definitely a plus and made the visit worthwhile from a value standpoint. As for the food, it was just average. Nothing really stood out or wowed me, so if you're going for the culinary experience, you might be left a bit underwhelmed. Overall, it's a solid spot for drinks and a social evening, but don’t expect anything too memorable from the menu.

Great spot for casual drinks and bites. The beer selection is solid—lots of local brews and rotating taps to keep things interesting. We grabbed a few small plates (duck wings were a standout) and everything came out quick and tasty. The vibe is relaxed and a bit trendy, with cool decor and a nice patio when the weather’s good. Good place to hang out with friends or kick off a night out. Would definitely come back.

Gorgeous restaurant, great vibes for a relaxing night. The Cubano and Korean sandwiches are both flavour bombs. The cubano was the best cubano I've ever had including in Miami. Their electric avenue salad is well balanced, and offers a nice sweet, sour and savory profile. Service was fast and friendly, and they have some great beers.

Restaurant
Pig & Duke Neighbourhood Pub, located in Calgary's Beltline area, is offering a special New Year's dinner featuring a reasonably priced three-course prime rib meal. Guests can also enjoy free live entertainment until 1am, party favors, and discounted pints. This downtown pub is known for its lively sports bar atmosphere and outdoor patio, making it a popular spot for watching hockey games and enjoying regional craft beer selections.
In the heart of Calgary's Beltline, where the urban pulse meets the warmth of a Scottish hearth, Pig & Duke stands as a testament to the enduring charm of the neighborhood pub. It's a Sunday, and the city's denizens are in search of solace from the week's tribulations. Here, they find it in spades. The moment you cross the threshold, the pub's atmosphere envelops you like a well-worn tartan blanket. The air is thick with the promise of comfort food and the gentle hum of contentment. It's a place where time slows down, and the worries of the world outside seem to dissipate with each sip of your drink. Speaking of drinks, the all-day happy hour is a siren call to the thrifty and the thirsty alike. A Jameson, straight and unapologetic, arrives at the table – a liquid handshake from the Emerald Isle. Alongside it, an old fashioned, its amber depths holding the wisdom of countless barkeeps The menu, a culinary tapestry woven with threads of Scottish tradition and pub fare ingenuity, presents its stars: the Steak Sandwich and Meatloaf. The steak, a cut above the usual pub grub, arrives with a swagger, flanked by crispy onion rings that shatter with a satisfying crunch. The meatloaf, often a humble afterthought in lesser establishments, here becomes a revelation – a comfort food phoenix risen from the ashes of mediocrity A Caesar salad provides a crisp counterpoint, its leaves standing at attention, dressed in a garlic-anchovy emulsion that whispers of Roman feasts. And then, as if orchestrated by the ghost of William Wallace himself, a cheesecake appears. It's a dessert that doesn't so much end the meal as it does put a velvet exclamation point on the experience The service, a ballet of efficiency and warmth, elevates the experience from mere dining to a form of gastronomic theater. Each interaction is infused with a genuine desire to please, a rarity in an age where hospitality often feels as mass-produced as fast food As the afternoon light filters through the windows, casting a golden glow on the patrons, it becomes clear that Pig & Duke is more than just a pub. It's a sanctuary for the soul, a place where the simple act of breaking bread becomes a celebration of life's small pleasures In a city teeming with culinary options, Pig & Duke carves out its niche with the precision of a Highland claymore. It's not just a spot for Sunday brunch; it's a weekly pilgrimage, a ritual that promises to soothe the spirit and fortify the body. In the grand tapestry of Calgary's dining scene, Pig & Duke is a thread of pure gold – essential, gleaming, and undeniably precious

A great local pub for drinks (large choice of beer) food and to watch sports. Our waitress was friendly, efficient and helpful. We ordered a half order of nachos with the spicy boar meat on top. It was plenty to share for 2 people. Very tasty nachos but we would have preferred the meat to be a little more spicy which is why I gave it a 4 instead of 5. I have had the Korean sirloin bites before and they were delicious. Fairly large menu and food is good. Fun spot to go and watch sports.

I ordered your Flame Burger with fries. First of all, the name doesn’t match the reality — it was not spicy at all. But the main issue is with the food itself. The fries were overcooked to the point of being hard, black and dry. The burger patty was exactly the same — zero juiciness, just a dry sole. If it wasn’t for the sauce, it would have been impossible to eat. On top of that, the bun was served cold. Is that some kind of joke? The bun wasn’t toasted, and the top part was completely cold! And there was no ketchup for the fries. I was forced to eat everything dry — dry fries with a dry burger patty. If I ask, you will tell me you have spicy ketchup for $1.50, but I don’t always want spicy ketchup. Would it really cost so much to serve a small portion of regular ketchup with fries? Even McDonald’s gives it for free. I understand that the kitchen was busy — there was a UFC fight on and a lot of people — but that is no excuse to treat food with such negligence.

Extremely disappointing experience. I came in for a beer after work , my first time at this establishment and was met with some of the most unwelcoming service I’ve encountered in years. The bartender was efficient when I first approached the bar, but after being told to take a seat and that someone would serve me, things went downhill fast. My server was noticeably rude from the start. The moment I mentioned I wasn’t ordering food, just drinks, her tone changed entirely. When I asked for another round, I was met with an eye roll. And when I requested the bill, there was no verbal acknowledgment, just the debit machine slapped down on the table and left without a word. I’ve worked in hospitality for over six years, including four as a server, so I understand the pressures of the job. But this wasn’t just a bad day.... it was a complete lack of professionalism and basic courtesy. After mentioning the experience to friends, I found out this isn’t an isolated incident. Apparently, rude service is a recurring issue here. Not a good look, especially for a first-time guest!! I won’t be returning and I certainly won’t be recommending this place to anyone. Absolutely not worth the attitude! There are too many places in this city that understand the meaning of hospitality, this one clearly doesn’t. If basic respect is too much to ask, maybe it’s time to reconsider who’s representing your business. If this is your standard of service, I’m genuinely shocked you have regulars at all!!

The lovely lady who served us was very attentive, the Wednesday wings were lovely and the atmosphere is modern and inviting so I would highly recommend this place if you are hungry for wings on a Wednesday or any time. Thank you nice waitress lady and to my beautoful wife for making this soirée memorable.

Kensington Pub is a charming and cozy tavern that emulates the ambiance of a traditional British pub. The exterior features a Tudor-style building with brick walls covered in green vines, and it's adorned with an English bulldog mascot named Bufford wearing a stylish red hat.

It had been a few years since we had been, so we thought we’d go back and try the brunch on the street patio. It was an enjoyable meal. It’s lovely to have businesses like this in our community. The service can’t be beat here. We overhead at a nearby table where they forgot to key in the order, causing it to be delayed. The waitress profusely apologized and covered the cost of that dish for those folks. Talk about taking care of their customers to make it right. Top notch.

Went to the pub for dessert and ordered 1 of each that was on the menu, sticky toffee pudding and Nanaimo bar cheesecake. They were $13 each, the sticky toffee pudding was banana bread with the smallest amount of caramel sauce and ice cream, the Nanaimo bar cheesecake came in THE smallest jar, it was warm, powdery and the crust base tasted old. However our experience despite the desert was awesome thanks to our server Sarah, she was awesome! The atmosphere was top notch as per usual.

Kensington Pud is - well -a very traditional British style pub. At least as imagined by someone who has never been to England. It's very cosy and old in tone. I had a Steak Pie and it was great! They also pull a great pint of Guinness. One thing to note is the pub is not setup for groups over four to sit at the same table. You could grab a section for about eight. Regardless - Recommended.

The haddock is AMAZING. 10/10 Coleslaw was flavourless 2/10 Peach drink (clearly not a Bellini but you could help by adding what peach drink it you have in your reply). All Prosecco and no peach 3/10 Waiting for the server was the worst part of the experience. It was slow, mid day and we were told to sit at a booth. We waited nearly 20 minutes before we got drinks or menus. Then another 20 for her to come back to order.. food came decently, but then after we were done, she took our food, our drinks and we waited another 20 minutes for the bill. That haddock though, I'll probably order to pick-up next time I'm in the area! It was delicious. Also why only mention the drink, and not the poor service???

Came and had the Beef and Yorkshire pudding and a side of fries. The beef and the gravy were good but everything else was a disaster. The Yorkshire was overdone, way past golden brown and was completely hollowed out leaving just an overdone crust. The vegetables were 90% raw as though they had just been sautéed for a minute instead of blanched/ par cooked beforehand. The mashed potatoes were super weak, zero flavour and had the most odd watery consistency, as though they were from a packet and had too much water added to them, first time I’ve tried a starch-flavoured slushie. The fries were decent but completely unseasoned. No amount of gravy can cover up your crimes towards vegetables. Beef was good though, so good job on that.

Nestled in the heart of Calgary, 722 World Bier Haus is a charming taproom that perfectly blends a rustic wood-and-brick ambiance with a vibrant atmosphere. This family-owned gem specializes in crafting over 90% of its menu items from scratch, offering an elevated take on classic pub fare. With an extensive selection of craft beers and mouthwatering dishes like burgers, pizzas, and salads, it’s no wonder this spot is a favorite among locals.
If you're looking for a quieter, calm, approachable but step above most pubs, this is a great place. My girlfriend and I were very impressed with it. We came for the hot chocolate during the YYC Hot Chocolate Festival. Theirs was one of the best I've had thus far. Service was solid but most importantly, the food I ordered was very good. They had a Thursday special for mussels. I tend to be very dubious of seafood in Calgary but they knew how to make them! And this might be the first time I look forward to coming back and getting more seafood from a Calgary pub.

Enjoyable environment, we really loved the Japanese steak and rice on the shareable starters menu. The Calamari I found soggy and cold. Unfortunately, we were on a time limit for a local event so we could not find out what the Calamari would be like fresh out of the kitchen - which the waitress had offered to us. Reputable non - Bavarian German Beers are not a thing here. I figured I could find a good Alt or Kölsch here.

We recently had quite the experience here with Jimmy and our server, Riley! Originally, we ordered three meals for the three of us. There were a few kitchen hiccups, but Jimmy noticed and came over to the table to address them before we even had a chance to say anything. They brought out the corrected orders promptly—and honestly, it was some of the best food we’ve had in a while! We got the fish and chips (amazing tartar sauce), mac and cheese (real cheese and bacon—OMG), and a burger (super full and juicy). While chatting, we found out that all their food is made in-house, and you could totally tell from the quality of everything we were served. I had a strawberry mojito that was perfectly sweet and looked absolutely beautiful. 🍓🍃 The menu had a great variety—we all ended up finding multiple things we wanted to try. Riley, our server, was so kind and attentive the entire meal. Highly recommend for a great night out—family or otherwise! :)

This was my first time at one of the World Bier Haus locations and I had been really looking forward to it. I was so disappointed overall with the food and drink. The sangria came in a very small glass and was extremely average tasting compared to many other restaurants. The chicken tenders were again average, both in taste and presentation. The yam fries looked a little better.and were okay. Truthfully, other restaurants in this category have far better tasting options and significantly better presentation. My table mate’s bowl looked a little better, but it wasn’t that flavourful. I won’t be back. I really wanted to like this restaurant but overall value and tasty food at this price point fell short. I simply cannot recommend it with so many better options available. I would suggest to the management that they go to some of the other restaurants in their price point category and they will see what I’m talking about.

I haven't been to 722 since last summer, we were so disappointed. The food was good but the service was horrible. We waited for our drinks , had to remind her of what we ordered. Then when our food came it was like pulling teeth to get utensils the salsa, guacamole, napkins. We finally had to just walk up to the bar to get the rest of our order. Our waitress was out to lunch... It was not busy.. 4 tables on our side. Definitely would not return.

The service is fast and efficient, with minimal wait times even during peak hours.

Food was terrible. We went here for lunch one day and the chicken wings were horrific. They were so dry and tasted like cardboard. They tasted like they were fried earlier and then fried again to warm them up. I ate 2 of 8 wings and left the rest on my plate. The prices are also outrageous for what you get. Probably the worst restaurant I have ever been to. Definitely would not go back. The owner responded to my husband claiming we ate almost everything, that is a lie, we sent back almost everything. Please don't lie, people have phones, people have pictures. The food is horrific and the other reviews speak for themselves. Your employees look miserable, you should treat people better. If you lie on your responses Google reviews, I can only imagine how you treat your employees that they look so unhappy to be working there. We were nice to our server because she was nice to us and we told her the food was horrible. We also told her it was not her fault as she is only bringing it out to us, it's not like she cooked it herself. Since ownership has changed the Google reviews got bad. Thank you for confirming that the ownership changed 2 years ago, because it goes along with when the bad Google reviews started coming in. 😀

Went for lunch, and it was a bit blah. The fries and gravy where cold. I had the turkey hot dip sandwich. Not hot and the crispy fried onions would have been lovely if at least warm. The cranberry gravy was a saving grave Even though it also was tepid not hot, it was extremely tasty. We also order the Canadian burger and again almost cold. We did wait for an extremely long time from ordering to getting our food. The service was ok but slow. The server was alone but the place was almost empty. Such a pity as if it had been hot it would have been a great lunch. As everything looked great just cold

The food was flavorless. Son got mac and cheese, no salt or cheesy flavor. Other son got a cheeseburger, very over cooked and hardly any cheese. Wife and I got wings which were completely over cooked and the sauce was incorrect. We got nachos and they were stale and barely any cheese. I got poutine aswell, it was okay but there were no cheese curds, just shredded mozzarella. Also there is no need for the green onion as a garnish....it's a poutine. Lorainna was a great server. She made the experience. The bartender looked like he did not want to be there. Made my old fashioned very lazily. I don't blame him, based on previous reviews there was an ownership change and he doesn't seem happy. Never coming here again and I do not reccomend.

Food is mediocre, leaves an unpleasant after taste. Food tends to be over seasoned. Since the bar changed ownership, it has gone downhill. Nota bene, correct, the food is the same as when under the previous ownership. I had commented to the previous owner on numerous occasions. We came back to see if it had improved, unfortunately it had not. It could be a really good bar if some effort would be put in. As it stands now, it is looking worn and rune down, and starting to get that old, dirty grease odour when sat in proximity to the kitchen.

The restaurant and bar have another owner and the place has gone down hill. The entrance as soon as you walk in looks run down, and it isn’t the same since Mike owned the place. My wife and I went there on July 19/2025 and my steak sandwich came cold and it was not worth the money we paid, floors are very dirty and I’d hate to see what the kitchen looks like. “NOT WORTH THE MONEY YOU PAY”

A good Irish Pub would be the best description. Their flat breads are good, and the Thai cashew bowl is good as well. The chicken pot pie was pretty good as well. Their beer cocktails like the crown float is a must try. The best part about them would be the dry tube. Probably one of the best dry ribs I've had from Calgary. Definitely a good place to hang with family or friends!

On our wedding day my husband and I came in for a drink with our wedding party and close friends as a stop on the party bus. Kampus staff, management and atmosphere were amazing! We had perfect beer pours and such great service. We are always so impressed with the beer variety and options. We will continue to visit often and greatly appreciate you as our neighbourhood brewery!

Kilkenny has been in this location for a very long time. It's a bit off the beaten path, tucked into the back of the mall. They're undergoing renovations outside right now and we were told they will be renovating the interior soon. They specialize in British fare and their food is very good. The scotch egg was cooked well, and the sausage was beautifully spiced. The steak and Guinness pie had an amazing crust and the beef was tender and well seasoned. We're looking forward to seeing the renovations toward the end of the year.

Staff were very friendly and attentive. However the food volume of the chicken and mush was too small. I got the two potatoes from my friend who ordered a pork belly sandwich.. There came with only a piece of thin pancake stuffed with some ckicken and mushroom bits.. I had to order a pizza as well.. for the total of $50 I can definitely get more better brunch options in Calgary...

Monday here is wing night 49 cent. The size of the wing was a little small but delicious. I wanted to eat pretzels but couldn't because they were sold out, and the beer was delicious. Most of all, the staff was so friendly. The atmosphere is also very nice.

Honestly the whole experience was not great. Our waitress was trying I could see that. But I don’t know if they were severally understaffed or what was going on. I stood at the front door for a long time just to figure out where our reservation table was. The table didn’t have enough chairs we went and found some ourselves. I had to ask for water 3 times. It took forever to order. I finally got my pizza and there was hair baked into it. I was pretty turned off at that point… I won’t be back….

Amazing! Having rebranded to the Kampus Brewing Company the restaurant was bright and welcoming. Fresh paint, tons of seating to include a huge patio, and great servers like Odessa, you can't go wrong. I ordered the Forestiere Eggs Benny medium poached and topped with arugula with a small salad and duck fat potatoes. AMAZING!! My friend had the traditional eggs Benny. His looked just as amazing as mine and he claimed it was. He ordered the house made IPA and said it was also to die for. We will be back! I suggest everyone go there as well.

Jamesons Pub is a modern Irish establishment situated in Brentwood, conveniently close to the University of Calgary and McMahon Stadium. It offers a relaxed environment where patrons can enjoy tasty pub food, draft beer, and cocktails. With its inviting patio and numerous televisions, this pub is an excellent choice for students enrolled in summer classes or those looking for pre-game drinks before attending a Stampeders football match. Additionally, another branch of Jamesons Pub can be found in the vibrant 17th Ave district.
I received a very good service from our waitress. I didn’t get her name but she’s very tall, dark hair, very pretty lady. When I ordered 2 pcs fish and chips for sharing, she separated the fish and chips into 2 plates. How thoughtful of her. The fish and chips was good and crispy. We had apple cobbler for desserts which has very good vanilla gelato. However, the apple cobbler is a tad too sweet for us. Overall, we had great dinner

March 17, 2023 Went for the special St. Patrick day breakfast at the Brentwood Jamesons pub location. They do not skimp on proportions. The amount of food they deliver on the plate for the St. Patrick day breakfast special was alot! Some friends had the special. They liked it. It was a whole lot of food. I myself had the fruit and pancakes which was delicious. Managing lots of food but manageable. Service was good and for an expected busy day this location was well staffed with friendly servers.

We were a party of three visiting this location on the recommendation of some friends who reside in the area. We are very thankful for the recommendation as it was simply fantastic! As with almost all my reviews, it's the staff who make or break the customer service experience, Once we seated ourselves, we were greeted with someone who was outgoing, very friendly and even more attentive. From our food orders to checking on us throughout the meal, she knocked it out of the park! Good food? Check. Great people? Check. Great service? Check. Just loved it and very much looking forward to many return visits!

A Decent Experience at Jameson Pub Last weekend, my three friends and I decided to pay a visit to the Jameson Pub for a casual dinner. We each ordered different dishes, allowing us to sample a variety of the pub's offerings. For my meal, I chose a mushroom-stuffed burger accompanied by a side of fries. The burger itself was quite tasty and juicy, but the bun was unfortunately a bit too soggy for my liking. In terms of service, our waitress was just okay. We had to specifically request water, as she would not have brought it otherwise, and her demeanor lacked warmth – perhaps the result of a long day. When it comes to parking, I can only give Jameson Pub a 2-star rating. Finding a spot was quite challenging, which was a frustrating aspect of our visit. On a more positive note, the interior ambiance was decent – we could easily have a conversation without shouting over the noise. The restrooms earned a solid 4 out of 5 stars. They were clean and well-maintained, which is always an important aspect of any dining experience. Overall, I would rate Jameson Pub 3 out of 5 stars. The food was enjoyable, and the ambiance was acceptable, but there is definitely room for improvement when it comes to service and parking.

Was in the mood for some good fish & chips so I googled close by and found Jamesons Pub. I ordered Caesar and fish & chips. The fry’s were delicious, seasoned well, crispy and hot. The fish was delicious and hot, however a little over cooked especially in some places. The Caesar tasted a bit watery. The food came nice and hot and flavoured well so I would recommend , just maybe not the Caesar😅

Jamesons Pub - 17th Ave is a vibrant Irish pub nestled in the heart of Calgary, where the spirit of Ireland comes alive. This lively establishment boasts a casual atmosphere perfect for any occasion, whether you're grabbing a quick bite or enjoying an evening with friends. With an impressive selection of draft beers and delicious bar snacks, it’s an ideal spot to unwind after a long day. The pub features multiple screens showcasing sports events, making it a go-to destination for game nights.
Jamesons is an old school pub in the heart of 17th ave with wooden paneling and cheeky British signs. Their food and drink menus are both very extensive, reasonably priced, and have something for everyone. I also really appreciated that they have a lot of non alcoholic options as well! I got the sugar + spice and it was excellent. Karley was our server and she was very sweet and helpful!

Jamesons is one of my go-tos for wings! They’ve got so many flavors, but the Greek sauce is my absolute favorite. Their drinks are also good! I love the Moscow Mule and Cactus crushable. The last time I was there, Anna served us. She was amazing and took great care of us.

We haven’t even eaten yet and I already feel compelled to leave a review — that’s how above-and-beyond the service has been. It’s absolutely pouring outside, the place is completely packed thanks to an MMA fight, and we waited tucked in a corner for quite a while (they are slammed). But the staff never missed a beat. Despite the chaos, they were warm, attentive, and genuinely doing everything they could to make sure everyone felt taken care of — including us. It’s rare to see this level of hustle and hospitality, especially on a night like this. Can’t wait to try the food, but the service alone has already made a great impression.

Tried to book online, but we were never contacted. So, I called the restaurant directly to book, explaining it was for a birthday party. They asked me if I wanted balloons, as they wanted to decorate for the occasion. When we arrived, they had no balloons, and they had reserved an 8 top, and seemed upset that we were only 6 people instead. Our server just did not want to communicate with some people at our table, particularly the father of the birthday girl. She would take his order last, bring everyone's drinks, leaving him to have to inquire about his beverage. Everyone got their food, again, he didn't get served for a few minutes. She never smiled, never made any attempt at small talk, and didn't seem to know the menu when we tried to order. She asked to have us cash out as she was leaving, which we agreed to do. She promised that another server would check on us. No one ever did, but she continued to work, and serve other tables. Disappointed, as the birthday girl was raving about the food and awesome service.

Afternoon happy hour for wings and drinks - the dill pickle wings here are amazing! We also tried smoked tequila lime (sauced) and buffalo wings. We enjoyed all the flavours, but especially the dill pickle. I also ordered the steak sandwich on special and it was delicious. Tender, perfectly cooked to medium rare on a yummy slice of garlic bread. I got a side caesar salad and the dressing didn't have much "bite" from garlic or lemon, seemed to be mostly mayo. They need a better dressing recipe! All in all, good food and a good time on a weekday afternoon

Juliet's Castle Sports Bar and Lounge is a vibrant spot that promises an exciting experience for all visitors. Known for its delectable wings, you can choose from a variety of flavors ranging from mild to fiery hot, including unique options like Japanese Tagarasagi and ghost chili. The atmosphere is lively with pool tables, karaoke nights, and live music adding to the fun. Every Sunday features a free Handcuff Comedy night alongside special wing deals that make it an ideal place to unwind after a long week.
Love the wings! ...The waitresses get very busy on wing nights & sometimes the place gets packed. Great atmosphere but don't come hungry it's not exactly fast service.
Ana G — Google review
Avoid Juliet’s Castle for “All You Can Eat” Wing Night – Misleading Policy I would strongly advise against going to Juliet’s Castle for their Monday night “All You Can Eat” wings special. The promotion is advertised as $15 for all you can eat, but there’s a hidden catch: you’re required to purchase a drink every single time you want to place another order of wings. This completely defeats the purpose of an “all you can eat” deal. Most people reasonably assume that the $15 price covers unlimited wings—maybe with the expectation of buying a single drink—but not being forced to order a new one with every round. That adds up quickly and feels more like a bait-and-switch than a value deal. It’s also not realistic or healthy to expect customers to consume three or four drinks (especially alcoholic ones) just to enjoy multiple rounds of wings. This policy should be made clear upfront so patrons aren’t blindsided after sitting down and ordering. If you're looking for a genuine all-you-can-eat wing night, I recommend checking out Bootleggers on Thursdays. It’s slightly more expensive (around $17), but you only need to buy one drink, and then you’re free to enjoy as many wings as you like—no gimmicks.

The food was super good, but took well over half an hour to receive. Me and my friends sat at a table for practically the entire night and we got a waitress only towards the end of the night sadly. Constantly having to go to the bar then wait around 10 minutes for a drink was annoying, But over all i guess its a cool place.

Juliette’s Castle is basically the Swiss Army knife of nightlife. Pool? Check. Foosball? Check. Karaoke? You bet. Latin dancing? Oh yes—bring your hips. Hookah lounge? Got it. Sports bar? All the screens you could ever need. Honestly, if they added mini-golf, I wouldn’t be surprised. The crowd is just as mixed as the entertainment—sports fans, dancers, singers, and people just here for the wings (which are dangerously good). It’s like walking into a big, loud, happy family reunion—except you actually want to be there. Yes, it can get wild. Yes, you might lose track of your friends in the shuffle. But that’s just Juliette’s Castle magic: you come for one thing, you leave with five new stories to tell. And maybe a karaoke video you’ll regret tomorrow.

Called in about their wing special and the guy on the phone said yes it’s until 2am and the kitchen is open until 2. Drove 30 mins. Came in and they say it ends at midnight. The manager short Indian man wouldn’t honor anything, so I walked out. It’s not about the price, it’s about the principle. As a manager he could have easily made up for his employees mistake. Definitely needs some hospitality training. Will never come here.

Went there for the wings, on a Saturday after work. Typically, they are 1$, but they were 55 cents(if i remember correctly). I know i got a parmesan something, and uh Cajun dry rub. Both were good, very fresh(so careful not to burn your mouth!). You'll need toonies to play pool or air hockey. There are 3 pool tables and 2 air hockey tables(I forgot). It was a lot of fun, the waitresses were very nice, and pretty! We became addicts to the Red Velvet cake. Yummy.

My boyfriend and I have come here several times and it’s usually really good. Tonight was a different story. Beer was flat, our waitress forgot to put in our order which had us waiting for over an hour for our food. We order Pizza and Wings, the wings were great as always, but the pizza 🍕gave us a good laugh, we ordered the Greek delight which was supposed to have spinach, instead the kitchen put iceberg lettuce 🥬 in our pizza. When we complained about it they tried to convince us that it was a different kind of spinach lol 😂. It was 10000% iceberg lettuce. Was not impressed with this place tonight, they could have at least given us a discount or something, didn’t seem to care about the feedback. Major let down Juliet’s.

The attention of the place is good, it could be improved, there are days that depends on who attends you gives you better attention than another. But in general terms, it is fine.

Came here on a Friday with friends. We ordered the nachos, popcorn chicken, wings, fully loaded Taquitos and the blackened chicken chiabata. Overall the food experience wasn’t the best. The fries with the blackened chicken was over cooked and not nice at all. The popcorn chicken had a weird taste to it…can’t explain but did not like the sauce flavour. The nachos were mediocre. I had the taquitos and they were sooooo good. 5/5 for sure. The service was good, I loved the atmosphere and the location. The sours we had was also really good. The music did get a bit too loud. Overall I would come back to try other dishes but wouldn’t expect an amazing dish to be honest

I went to eat at this place I ordered a beef dip sandwich accompanied by regular fries, and the potatoes were really horrible, hard and dry, they looked like wooden sticks 🙁🙁🙁🙁 and the waitress was not an unpleasant person with us, she had no good disposition for that reason I did not complain to her for the bad accompaniment of my sandwich 🥪 I just left it there. The atmosphere of the place was good, they were playing bingo and there were plenty of people.

Came here on a Saturday night because of a recommendation from a friend. I was told that the steak sandwich was popular, so I thought I'd give it a try. As you can see (or maybe not see in the attached photo as it's obscured by the onion rings), it's the smallest steak sandwich I've ever had. Having said that, it was flavorful, and I would have gladly paid more for a larger portion. After the mini steak, I decided to order a small Hawaiian pizza to fill the gap. When it arrived, it looked like a blackened pizza. Another guest at the table who has been there before said, "I'm surprised they served that to you because normally it looks a lot better." To top it off, the pop was flat and it was so syrupy sweet I'm not sure if it was actually Coca-Cola. Maybe they had an off night, but there are so many other pubs that have consistently good food and beverages that it would be hard to justify a return trip. On a positive note, the chicken wings that my guest ordered were a decent size and were on special that night, so that was good.

Hadn't been here in 4 years. I have missed out! I immediately recognized Carina our server, it's a good sign she has been there for years. The Thursday offer is incredible: a 12" pizza and a pitcher of beer for $25. There isn't a better offer in Calgary! See pics. To be fair, they will be putting the price of that special up, and so they should ... it was embarrassingly good for the money! The pizza was PHENOMENAL. As was Carina.

South Block Barbecue & Brewing Co. is a rustic-chic brewpub in Mission that focuses on serving North Carolina-style BBQ, with an emphasis on pork and seafood. The menu offers a variety of options including ribs, turkey, brisket, pulled pork, smoked shrimp cocktails, po boy sandwiches, and pimento cheese. In addition to its delicious food offerings, the restaurant also operates as a brewery with a selection of house brews and features live music performances on the lower level.
We aren’t from here but we stopped in for a short dinner date and we weren’t disappointed! Our server was awesome and she helped recommend a couple of in house brews to start us off as well as explaining and breaking down the menu for us. We ended up ordering the brisket, pulled pork, house salad and dill pickle potato salad. All were well seasoned and delicious. The sauces provided on the table paired really well with both the brisket and pulled pork but the Carolina Gold definitely was a match made in smoking heaven. It also came out extremely fast! We were both really surprised how fast they were. We also chose the lager and a radler which are brewed in house and were so so good and helped cut through the richness of the meats. Of the two sides the House Slaw is the winner and has such an amazing and juicy dressing without being too tart and tangy. We are definitely going to stop in here for a pint and some smoked brisket again next time we’re in town!

In hindsight, the food was greasier than I remember. The brisket especially tasted like it was swimming in lard. The pulled pork and all the sides were decent however. It's the shrimp and grits we keep coming back for. The grits tasted richer, creamier than our preference but a banger still. On the fence about returning.

Imagine this situation: my wife and I are from out of town, it was 11:40pm on a Saturday night, we were in central Calgary and were absolutely starving after finishing a day jam-packed with activities at the Stampede fairgrounds. We counted our lucky stars to have found this amazing place. It was still open, with a decent crowd enjoying live music being played in one corner of the restaurant. There was red mood lighting everywhere. We reclined in the back corner and ordered a super late dinner. Most of the barbecued meats were still available, and there was an impressive selection of sides. We had a half pound of Brisket, half pound of Pork Belly, Brisket Pimento Mac-n-Cheese, Cornbread, Broccoli Salad, Green Bean Salad, and Spicy Fries. Everything came in a large tray and we washed it all down with lovely local craft beers. It was a proper feast …consumed at the least proper time of day. But perhaps that’s why we loved it so much.

Ridiculously impressed with the food and service. Notice - we do always sit at the bar Yurii was our server. We adored the apricot pork belly. Deep flavour cooked perfectly. The brisket Mac n Cheese was flavourful and executed as it should be. Pork ribs had a dry rub and were amazing. This is Calgary’s best brisket, crust flavour and finish. The corn bread this hurts to say - as good as MINE home made. Get here. There is everything possible from the bar as well even proper wine.

I requested fish and chips as my meal choice. They made it quickly. I liked the dish. The sauce was so good and the coleslaw was fresh, not from the bag. I liked chips too. I went there on Sunday and the restaurant wasn't crowded. The waitress gave just only one menu for the 2 of us. And I was thinking that I needed the menu too.

The unicorn The place is really fun lively. It was a good place to watch the Olympics. We loved the ambience. Jessie was nice. Let me tell you that the nachos were not worth $32. We ordered meat which there was barely any and I’m not sure what the green dye or the red dye. I’m sure it’s really healthy for you, lol. They charged us three dollars for extra salsa! I would never order those nachos again, but I would head back there to go have a beer and a second. I WOULD RECOMMEND

We went to the basement which had live music for free.. the service and food was good. Love this place. Friendly and welcoming. We had some canned beers and the chicken Antojintos. It was flavourful and really enjoyed it with the dipping sauce.

I had an amazing experience at The Unicorn Pub! Sheena provided outstanding service—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment I arrived. She helped me choose the perfect beer and meal, and truly went above and beyond to make my evening special. Huge thanks to Sheena for making my visit so memorable—I’ll definitely be back soon!

Amazing food and service! I’m from out of town but if I ever am back in Calgary, would definitely return! Great for a light lunch or date night spot!

The pub had great food and a nice atmosphere, but I was a little disappointed. When my friend and I (who isn't Canadian) tried to place a second order, the server kept checking on other tables and completely ignored us. It felt like she was ignoring us on purpose. Even when I made eye contact with her, she didn't come over. I liked the atmosphere, which was full of sports fans. On the other hand, the server's indirectly racist attitude was disappointing.

Bootleggers Sports Bar & Grill is a lively spot offering a variety of entertainment options. With 52 HD flat screen LCD TVs, a large projector screen, 6 satellite feeds, and 25 VLTs, it's the perfect place to catch your favorite sports games. Additionally, they have foosball and 2 pool tables with free pool on Monday nights. The bar also hosts karaoke six days a week.
Staff is really friendly and they have some cute waitresses. Food is actually really good. Their blackened steak strips and chips are so delicious. I also had the chicken tacos and they are really good. My brother likes to come here on wednesdays for wings .

I came here for the All You Can Eat Wing Thursdays. NOTE it starts at 3:00pm. That time is strictly enforced. Once the time came the wings were actually quite good. There were dozens of flavours. You can order as many as you want with different flavours as long as you eat them all. I started with 2 orders and enjoyed them so much that I ordered 3 baskets 🧺 after that. The menu for the wings is on the table and in pretty small font so it can be difficult to read. Our server, Amanda did a decent job. She was attentive without being intrusive and knowledgeable about the menu items. The restaurant is actually quite clean and has multiple pool tables and VLTs. It would be a great place to come and hang out with friends. The left sink in the men's washroom 🚻 is broken with a big crack in it with no hot water. Perhaps the right hand sink is better? Watching the various sports on the multiple screens was nice too. It is a huge place and offers lots to do. You can even access your BITCOIN at their special ATM 🏧 if you want. Pretty up to date place. Lots of free parking all around it too.

My friends and I went to Bootleggers last night to celebrate my birthday and have a get-together. Since we’re Asian and often look younger than our age, we understand the need to check IDs, so we showed ours. However, one of us forgot their ID and had to go all the way home to get it, even though they mentioned they weren’t asked for it during their visit last week. We respected the rule and complied. After that, we thought everything would be fine, but when we tried to order, most of the servers ignored us. Even when we spoke to the manager, he didn’t seem to care. We waited over an hour before the manager returned and asked for our IDs again—for the third time. After showing them yet again, we were finally able to place our order. However, our food took over an hour to arrive, even though the place wasn’t busy, with only a few customers. We also noticed the manager pointing at us and talking to his staff, which made us feel uncomfortable and singled out. His treatment felt discriminatory and was very upsetting. On a positive note, the waitress who served us was very nice, but her kindness couldn’t make up for the poor management and the way we were treated. We followed all the rules, but instead of a celebration, we left feeling unwelcome. Because of this experience, we won’t be returning to Bootleggers.

Saucy wings ( DRY ) so disappointing, I took my husband there for the first time and chicken wings are not so good as before. Just to be my #1 but not anymore... Service was great.
HappyGirl — Google review
I liked that you can play 🎱, it also has an atmosphere for karaoke 🎤 but the attention was very poor, the waitress was very distracted and in the end she left us waiting while she was at another table taking shots, that was not nice since we were waiting for her a long time to be able to organise the payment. He gave us a unitary account without asking if we wanted to pay all together, to solve everything he left us while he went to drink shots /: Everything else was fine 👌
Melissa H — Google review
Very bad service, no one attended us until the first 30 mins and when waitress showed up, she brought drinks after 15-20 minutes. The waitress who took my order, literally took another 30 minutes to show up just to tell us that it will take some while for her to bring our food. I had to leave the place. I'm not recommending anyone do not waste your time.
Lovepreet S — Google review
The wings here were great! There were so many options that if you didn’t like one you could get a completely different flavour a couple minutes later! Out of my experience, we have had a great waitress and a not very good waitress, sometimes they don’t come by the table enough!

Stopped by for lunch, wasn’t sure what to expect but it definitely didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing. Had the steak sandwich and the individual nachos. Our server Amanda hit it out the ballpark. She was amazing!!!!!! Definitely recommend.

Toad 'n' Turtle Pubhouse & Grill is a delightful spot that offers an impressive array of 38 wing flavors, ranging from classic options to unique choices like Thai peanut and ghost chili. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, with friendly staff who go above and beyond to ensure a great experience. Visitors rave about the cleanliness of the establishment, which sets it apart from typical bars. Whether you're enjoying shareable plates or hearty sandwiches and burgers, the food consistently meets high standards.
Responsive and friendly staff, fine food and great tap beer with chilled glasses. Come early or make a reservation to secure a table, it's a popular place. Great atmosphere. Recommend!

Decided to drop by after an evening of fun with friends to get some pub food in our tummies. Very nice atmosphere and decor, staff was very friendly and attentive, and the food was on par with most good pubs I’ve been to. Good selection of shareables and sandwiches/burgers. Design of building and interior made it easy to have a conversation even though it was packed for the flames game. Will definitely be coming back the next time we are in the area.

Anita greeted me at the door and was my server she's the best server here She's very friendly and accommodating. From my experience Just in general a Great group of servers and great attitude & atmosphere, which is very important to me when spending hard earned money at a bar. Very clean inside. Almost all night clubs or bars have graphiti or dirty toilets and I'm sure the guys out there know exactly what I'm talking about. But not here. And prices are very fair. I ordered a steak sandwich on special which was Amazing! Best $15 I've ever spent. The $15 5 oz steak is only untill 2pm. (It was so chill I ended up hanging around) Then starts drinks basically anything. I got a gin n juice for $5 which starts at 3pm & with the great environment music tvs friendly people I ended up staying even longer untill 6 and I called a friend over here so basically I got to benefit from the cheap lunch and the cheap drinks all in 1 day.😋👍👌😅⁴ Awesome place!! I promise you will not regret it.

Went for lunch with co workers. Service was great! Atmoshere is nice. Special was a 5oz steak sandwich with choice of side, which I really appreciate having several items to choose from, for $16.00. Now...out of the 8 of us 6 of us ordered the steak and every one of them was over cooked. Little disappointing when I was very specific about how I wanted it done and the server said not to worry they've never had any sent back. We didnt send them back as we were under a time restraint. I think we were all a little disappointed. Chances are we will not be returning.

Great pub, with some of the best chicken wings I’ve tasted. Easily a 9.6 wing - could eat them all day. Perfect balance and size. Wish had have been there on a Wednesday for wing day so could order 2 or 3lbs of these babies. Tacos were a letdown - wings were a homerun - burgers looked great also.

Nestled in a charming neighborhood, The Cat 'n Fiddle Pub exudes a delightful Celtic ambiance that makes it the perfect spot for both locals and visitors alike. This rustic tavern is not just about its inviting atmosphere; it also boasts an impressive selection of craft brews and hearty pub grub. Whether you're catching the latest sports action on their numerous screens or enjoying live music, there's always something happening here.
Love it. Why has it taken me so long to get here. As a Brit living in The Rockies and Liverpool fan this place is perfect. Such a friendly pub and I will be back.

The food was delicious, I had the quesadilla with ground beef and guacamole. The drinks are also very good, they have a good selection and variety. The service was slow and I feel the server was ignoring us for the most part. There was also live music since we went on a Friday.

Loved this location. I was told this was an old cathedral. The high ceilings make you feel less closed in so it is a very chill and relaxing atmosphere. Loved the trivia night. Especially loved that trivia night has no technology involved. So nice to get away from screens at the end of the day. Wonderful mini quesadillas but they were so good that I forgot to take a pic and they got devoured. Next time!

We live in the neighbourhood, so the Cat & Fiddle is a short walk from home - we go fairly often. Though it's been around for years, I appreciate that the pub is constantly paying attention to detail. The environment is always clean, and their food is GOOD and seems to keep getting better ( try the beef ribs - so yum and they're on special Tuesday nights) The service is fantastic - we usually sit at the bar and talk to Jagger who once shared his 64.5 hour playlist with us. The Cat has a great variety of beer, they offer organic wine. In the summer friends can sit on the back patio, in the winter folks come for music night or play pool. Great shareable's, fresh salads and sit down meals such as pasta, burgers, healthy skillets, fish and chips and much more. CH

Amazing food for pub fare. The bartenders have been so personable every time I've come in. They make my specialty cocktail perfectly. And the value is amazing. Not to mention the great specials every day. Phenomenal local watering hole and a great destination close to downtown for the rest of us. <3

Food was AMAZING, I spoke with the head chef Kevin I believe his name was. he was awesome, he wasn’t on shift but recommended his favourites and was nothing but kind to me and my friends. We had a pretty bad experience with our server Alex or Anna or some simple white girl name. So we went to the bar and the bartender was so sick, he flipped the entire Expieriance, we asked his recommendation for food because our old server was one of the most miserable people I had ever met and hadn’t recommended anything but an eye role to our table. But the second we settled with her and switched to the bar, the first time we asked him he told us to try the bacon Mac and two of us did where the other two of us tried his second recommendation the beef dip. SO AMAZING!!! Because of his recommendations on the food we asked about drinks, my one friend Jordan hadn’t been very experienced in a bar but jager let him try a couple of the beers on tap before he came to realize he was a hazy IPA type of guy. The fact that the bartender went out of his way while the place was PACKED to find him a beer he enjoyed was a customer service Expieriance like no other. GOES TO SHOW, ONE BAD SERVER DOESN'T MEAN A PLACE OF BUSINESS HAS BAD SERVICE. We proceeded to win a bit of money of the VLTS which just made the night that much better but as I live just off 23 ave this will be me and the guys go to spot when we are at my house so long as that bartender is on SICK SPOT!

If you're looking for a laid-back spot to unwind, Blackbird Public Urban Bar is the place to be. This inviting hangout serves up a delicious array of tacos, burgers, and sandwiches alongside refreshing cocktails and brunch options. One of the highlights here is their fantastic happy hour—every Thursday at 4 PM, you can indulge in $1.50 oysters (with a minimum order of six) while enjoying half-priced wine all day long!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm is all I can say. Looks like there's some yummy new deliciousness added to the menu and it'd amazing. Got the smoked meat sandwich and wow is all I can say it was juicy and just amazing. Can't wait to try the other new additions and definitely can't wait for the golf season to get fired up because this would be the number one place after a round. Go to place first sure

Been here a couple times, it’s basically a fancier but more expensive Dogwood. The beer prices are great and their specials are solid. The food is quite expensive but a varied selection. The environment is excellent with a cool interior and solid patio. I’ll be visiting often but ya having some more affordable food options would be appreciated. The service has been excellent and friendly. Definitely enjoy the experience here.

First time coming to Blackbird. Plenty of seating and lots of screens if you're there to watch sports. The server we had, Megan, was great. She was friendly and made a few jokes at our expense which we appreciated. No complaints about her at all. The food was average at best. Certainly not the best pub grub I've had but not the worst either. The thing is that there are a load of options in the area that offer food that is a step above this at comparable prices. So although the service and atmosphere are good I'm probably not going to be back on a regular basis because of the food.

My friends and I have been going here for 3 years, for wings on Wednesday! Food is always nice and hot, wings are on and off but by far the best bang for your buck! Alyssa has been the best server consistently! She is always friendly and fast and we never had an empty drink! She even memorized all our orders at one point! Thank you Alyssa for the consistent great service!

The atmosphere is welcoming, inviting, and has a sophisticated sense with decor to match. The beer, wine, and cocktail selection is varied and tempting. The gyozas are delectable and memorable (we ordered 2 sides of gyozas). The service is attentive and well-timed. Only minor issue, we would have appreciated a side plate with utensils rather than chopsticks. When we return, we will enjoy the well-stationed patio.

Went for lunch, it wasn't packed out but it was busy enough. They only had one waitress on at the time but I cannot praise her highly enough. Elysa was attentive, quick and efficient. Most wait staff in other establishments these days just suck up to patrons but fail at the job completely, she did not fall into this trap. I found that she let her work speak for itself, she was polite and friendly but to the point. I appreciated this immensely. The food turned up quickly, was cooked perfectly and was tasty. Whomever the cook was this day (Saturday 8th March 2025) also deserved compliments. The whole place was clean, tidy and well kept. Bathrooms were clean. I will definitely return to this bar/restaurant. The experience was very pleasant. 5Stars all around.
