| - This place gets 1 star for food and service, 4 stars for the beer selection, all in all, 3 stars is about the right rating for it. Let's start with the food. Actually, we'd better not - I would not recommend anything on their menu. Dishes are either overcooked, or greasy, or too dry, or just in general, not tasty. They will tell you they have a new menu - I heard that tale for about 2 months, and let me tell you, it's basically the same bland thing as ever.
Why, you might ask, have I kept trying the food again and again? That's because I used to come to the Pub Quiz that is held here every Tuesday. Since the quiz starts at 6:30 sharp, there is usually no time to grab a bite elsewhere, but if you do have the time, you'd be well-advised to do just that. The quiz itself, by the way, is among the worst quizzes I've participated in, but unfortunately, it's the only one in Calgary, so better that than nothing, I suppose.
As for service, it is s-l-o-w. There is one good young bartender - Josh, I believe - but the rest are so-so, and if you have to rely on a waitress, you'd be waiting for a while for your drink, even on a slow night.
But the beer selection is pretty decent for Calgary, so if you just come in here to socialize and drink beer at the bar, by all means, it's not a bad spot. Just don't order any food.
