Some coworkers from New Orleans were working with us in Calgary for a week, so as a farewell before they left, my local coworker suggested we take them to Craft.
Now I had only heard of this place and had never strayed in so it was new for me as well. We stopped in on Good Friday around 7ish and the place was already packed with people. As one of our American guests commented as he looked around "There are more beautiful women in this bar than there are in all of Louisiana" Agreed.
We stood at the bar enjoying a pint when my stomach looked up and started screaming in its squeaky voice "Help meeeeee! Help meeeee!" Fine. Time for a bite. I decided to have something light and satisfying and picked the crab cake sliders. They were alright. Unfortunately, this was definitely not fresh crab and the cakes were a bit on the dry side. The saving grace was that it had a pretty good flavour beyond the crab itself. I'll give it another try some other time and update, hopefully reflecting the positive reviews made by other people.
As for the beer selection, it's very impressive and worth trying a few, and the service is good.
