Another convenient local pub down south Calgary. Coach and Horses Ale has a great open space that allows me to converse with my friends, as well as the ability to view the room and "people watch". It's one of the few pubs me and my friends can ever agree on visiting.
For approximately 15 dollars, depending on what extra items you get, their plate of Nachos can be a righteous pub snack that can be shared with a table of at least three grown men. Careful not to hog all the chips with the Jalepenos, your derriere will hate you in the morning :S
Their beer and drink menu is great with prices that are about the same as the other local pubs around (Dixons, Bull & Finch).
The service is great, the waitresses are friendly and efficient, and don't bat their eyelashes at you in order to squeeze tips. I mean come on, trying to have a manversation here.
