This is it. The Ship is the place to be on 17th!
The food and drinks are reasonable and if you have a group of friends, this place probably has the largest nacho dish you can get from less than $13.
This place was so good, that I went back the next night during my stay in Calgary and on a Monday night, looking for a bar, this place was one of the few with an open patio with people in it.
The server did forget my friend's order and we had to wait half an hour before she noticed, and my friend's wings had a little too much sauce, but all in all, I had a fun time here and to me that's all that mattered.
I would recommend the Wild Rose brown ale, the waitress that recommended it to me the first time I came here was right. Very creamy and tastes like Caramel.
My only gripe is that the inside of the bar is very dark. But it's not that bad. It does remind you of a dark and dingy bar, but it's cozy.
And the patio..the best patio in the city!
