| - We went here on my first trip to Calgary, hoping to scope out the town before moving. We were really looking forward to a brewery tour, but unfortunately it had been cancelled. They were super friendly about it when we asked and apologized. I was thinking I'd be intimidated by such a cool place, but nah, the folks there were super chill.
It's an awesome place to have lunch! There are several beers on tap that you can't get anywhere else (I totally recommend the Alberta Crude, even if you think you don't like dark beer, this one is soooo smooth and savoury). The music was an excellent mix of blues and rock a billy and get this - IT WASN"T BLARING. Ugh, that's such a pet peeve of mine, when I go out to dinner or to shop and the music is so loud that you can't talk to the people you're out with.
The ambiance is great - there were young bro lookin' dudes there, some older couples, and some elderly lookin' gents at the bar. No one was obnoxious or anything, and the decorations - high vaulted ceilings with tons of interesting paraphernalia to look at - are really neat.
The food is pretty excellent and eclectic. I had pita crisps and a crab and cheese dip, my husband had roast duck with blood orange tortillas. Everything was delicious. We really want to get out there again for a date.
