| - I've been going to the Riverstone Pub on a ~monthly basis for the last year, and the food has always been really good (especially the soup!). I have yet to order something that was bad (although the nachos were a bit of a disappointment, but not bad), and you can't beat the $7.25 steak sandwich special. The beer selection is extensive, although it's not particularly exciting. They carry all the big brands of beer, plus some local brews.
The atmosphere is... unique. The layout is a bit strange, with a separate room with pool tables, a tiny stage beside the bar, and washrooms hidden away in the back. It is rather dark inside, but not enough to make it hard to read the menus. The stone wall/fireplace accents and home-made hardwood floor tables are a little tacky, but for a local pub, it fits.
The service has always been good or at least adequate (I never expect stellar service in Calgary), and they have a consistent group of servers - not newbies that don't know the menu. The bands (Fridays and Saturdays) are decent, and play a mixture of new music and older rock.
Go on a Friday, you won't regret it (if you can get a table - but if not, be patient, and one will open up)!
