| - Great location in Royal Oak, upscale, new pub feel, friendly staff - almost too friendly. Our waitress was overly touchy-feely but we just ignored it.
It was hard to ignore however the that the guys we were with wanted beer and due to New Years Eve a couple of days prior, they were out of about 70% of their beer selections!!!
I had a very weak martini that was supposed to be 2oz, but no way-jose was it so. My next one was better, I switched it up a bit to a regular martini instead of one from their drink menu but man, at $9.25 each, they are not worth it.
Which takes me to my next point - this place is PRICEY! Yes, I know this is Calgary, I know it is Royal Oak but this will certainly affect how often we come here. For the same price as a meal and drinks here, I could fine-dine in downtown Cow-town.
I asked and was told that everything is pretty much homemade in the kitchen.
I had a 1 piece fish and chip dish for $11.95 plus extra for a wee bit of gravy. It was forgettable but there was nothing wrong with it either.
The pub was not too busy on a Fri night, it had a decent vibe and overall, it was OK.
Most importantly, we all had a good time!
