I gotta remember to go to BottleHouse more. I'm writing this review as a reminder to myself and everyone else that they should go to Bottle house more.
The Food is great as is the beer, and they've even got a south facing patio overlooking the river. It's also overlooking the often noisy Memorial/10th Street intersection. But hey, it's still a great place to soak up the sun, people watch joggers on the paths and laugh at road-ragers along Memorial.
Grabbed the fried chicken as per Paul G.'s suggestion and it lived up to the hype! THE place for fried chicken? I don't know... but it's definitely a fantastic place for fried chicken! It's also a fantastic place for beer.
I would say that BottleHouse is a lot along the lines of a Local (510, maybe) or a National (17th maybe) but removed from all the hype that is 17th Ave. You can have the same sort of high end pub food and drink experience but with out as much of a crowd. If you want that cool, trendy, Calgary gastropub feel that's just a little more laid back, this is the perfect spot.
Sounds good, doesn't it?
