Wow, Wurst has really changed!!! Wasn't this place fine dining restaurant once upon a time?
I love the new atmosphere! I mean, the location is on 4th street. This is a beautifully trendy part of Calgary and I think Wurst did a good job by opening their doors to a better variety of people. They've started catering to the young up-and-comers and it's made a world of difference. I think the business of this place really speaks for itself!
I was here for a friends birthday party and it consequently was also Oktoberfest! So it was super busy! You literally walk into the basement and its like this big German party! The staff were friendly and even with the amount of people in there the food came quickly. I love that you're able to just turn around and talk to people. Everyone is there to have a good time and meeting others is really easy. The staff do a good job of including everyone in competitions, songs, and light-hearted games. I really enjoyed this because it was an icebreaker for everyone in the room.
For food I had the Grilled Chicken Sandwich. It was really good! A few of my friends had poutine, and it wasn't really my cup of tea, but they seemed to enjoy it which is all that matters.
Overall I had a really great time here! I was definitely surprised by the change this place underwent, but it was a welcome surprise. This place is great and the crowd isn't too young so there aren't crazy drunk 18 year olds running around!
