| - This past weekend while visiting friends in Calgary, we met up at National on 10th. I was only there for the entertainment component so I won't be commenting on the food or menu.
I arrived too late to partake in the foosball, which they had turned into a drinking game, so probably best I missed it anyways as I didn't need anymore than I found to consume! I did however arrive in time for the bowling :) The amount of activities you can find to amuse yourself within this place is quite amazing! The upstairs had more of a dance vibe while the basement bowling lounge was more chill.
I loved the picnic table seating as it was a quick and fun way to meet other people and offered a feeling of a beerfest, and speaking of beers, there were plenty to choose from. I myself prefer a darker beer, ales, stouts or porters, our waitress took the time to let me know what they had and what I might like from their selections and i was happy with the few I had.
There was a pretty big line up when I arrived, but I took the bold move of going straight to the front and mentioning I was meeting friends who were bowling and they let me right in. Which in turn had the people who had been waiting all saying they were just there to bowl as well, and if there were other yelpers in the line up it may have lowered their star rating if they were unhappy with the fact that i got to skip the line up.. but I was grateful :)
I will definitely be heading back there to try out more of their activities, possibly the menu, but for sure for the beer and the bowling !
