| - Local 002, what is it with you? I like your sister locations, 510 and 522... my Ultimate Frisbee team and I were looking for a spot to go after our final game of the season. A few other spots in the area were too full for our group of 12, so we figured we'd give it a shot.
We walked in and there were plenty of tables available. So far so good. And drink specials too! Pints of any Molson product (Rickard's included) for $4.62 and all appys (except the nachos) are on for $7.02 every Tuesday. Not bad, not bad.
The menu here is the same as the menu at 510, but it's funny how different a bar can feel in a different part of the city. This one is right close to MRU and feels far more like a sports bar with all of the TVs around than a cool local hangout... except for the moose head hanging on the wall.
The service during our visit was a-ok. Our server was on top of filling up our drinks, taking our orders, etc. One thing she could've improved upon was repeating some of the specials at the other end of the table. The first half heard them and but we were too big a group to over hear what she was saying, yet had duplicate questions.
The beer was also a-ok. The selection isn't great, but it's alright. While my cohorts enjoyed their Molson products, I opted for a Steamwhistle. It's not on tap, but the Tallboy can is the same amount as a pint, and the server even brought me a nice cold glass to go with it.
The food was a different story. It wasn't at all slow coming out, but the beef tacos I ordered where cold and the smallest tacos I've ever seen! And it only came with 3 of them. Don't order them. My teammate got the chicken tacos and it was the exact same thing. Cold and tiny. I tried another teammate's chili cheese fries. They came in a nice big bowl and were adequately covered in meat and cheese. I didn't hear any complaints about the calamari, nachos and wings being shared at the other end of the table either, although the plate of nachos looked small for $15 or so dollars.
So, if you're in the area, you're safe ordering a few of the appys. Stay away from the tacos. Also, make sure you've got cash or credit on you. Local 002 doesn't take debit. Though I usually take off a star for places taking credit and not debit that have a bank machine on site (I think it's a skizzy money grabbing practice... yes, skizzy. A combination of sketchy, scummy, greedy, etc.), Local 002 only has their fee set at $1.50. That's the lowest one I've seen in Calgary... and overall it certainly doesn't deserve a 1-star IMO.
