| - Ship, you have my heart. I met my Fiance here, who stared at me all night from across the bar, he included your location in his scavenger hunt proposal, you are the closest thing to an English pub in this town and you welcome all who enter your doors.
Whether you are a suit, prep, hipster, bearded, in your late 60's, have 3 kids who want brunch on a Sunday or just looking for a good time, the Ship is for you.
Soccer scarves adorn the bar, they show English Premier League, FA Cup and World Cup here. Come early in the morning, get the soccer breakfast (basically the big breakfast but set in egg style) and watch the soccer action.
They have open stage jams, concerts that are always no cover, DJs, Ship in and Ship out events where you buy a ticket, get on a bus and do something fun (sporting or cultural) in Calgary and come back to the bar and get a free pint!
There is always a line, they have an amazing patio, great for people watching. Though it is easy to feel like an animal on parade when you walk past this patio.
The servers and bartenders rock and soon ship nog will be back for the Holiday season, coating my stomach in its noggy goodness.
Go to the Ship, it's a Calgary institution!
