This is a great pub. Went for Sunday roast and bangers & mash and it was as good as it can get! Service was excellent, the room is cozy and there are plenty of friendly locals. Great menu - great beers on tap - what more could you ask for? I only wished I lived a little closer so I could go every week.

Was it the time of day? Or maybe just the fact that burgers aren't the think to get at Fiddlers Courtyard?
We popped in for a Saturday meal after Beerfest, wanting to grab something a bit farther away from all of the hubbub of 17th on a weekend. Turns out, Fiddlers Courtyard was an ideal spot for that. It wasn't overly busy and we had our choice of booths or tables.
The menu's a decent size, and has four or five different types of burgers on the menu. The bison burger and the lamb burger stood out, I went for the bison bacon burger. It was a decent size, and the fries were a-ok, but somehow it took an absurdly long time for our meals to come out, apparently there was a bit of a mix up on one of our orders... glad the kitchen caught it and fixed it before it came out, but it still made for a long wait for a couple of hungry festival goers.
All in all, it sounds like the way to really love this pub is to go hang out with some friends, enjoy a few pints and chow down on some good ol' bangers and mash or shepherd's pie. I shall try those next time and be back with another tale! -

I like this pub - a lot! Meeting up with some old Calgary friends on the weekend and we wanted somewhere casual to grab a pint nearby the place we were staying. They picked Fiddlers Courtyard and we met up with them halfway through their first drink.
It was pretty busy, but not so bad that we couldn't find a table. Music was playing in the background, but not so loud we couldn't hear each other. Our waitress was friendly, the beer was cold, the beer selection was pretty impressive, and all in all it was a good night. I'm definitely a fan and I'd definitely be back on my next time up in the 403.
My only (teeeny tiiiiiny) complaint: from where we were sitting, we could see the light above the till start flashing every time a plate of food was ready. Distracting! -

My new calgary neighbourhood pub! Most impressed with the 16 foreign beers on tap, the casual feel, and the easy location at the top of the hill. Bus connections close by as well as semi-decent parking nearby. This is your typical english-style working-class pub but it ain't no dive bar!
I can't speak to the food as I stuck to the foreign brews that night.
Service was great and I'll definitely be back. -

I had the bangers and mash. It was really excellent. Two good quality sausages with two heaps of mashed potatoes with gravy. Lots of peas and beans. Excellent fare for a British style pub. Someone at the table ordered wings. They looked big and juicy. I'll try those next time. Great atmosphere. Lots of TV's to watch sports. This location used to be a real dive of a bar that I refused to even go into. Glad it's better now. If I'm ever in the area again I won't hesitate to revisit.

Fiddlers Courtyard is our neighborhood pub - and for this I'm very happy! The pub is recently redone, and has a cozy British pub feel to it. Its a great pub for watching sports - lots of tvs, and they keep the sound on throughout so you don't have to worry about dance music playing while the game is minutes in! ;-)
They've got a good selection of beer - all the expected brews, with a few extra UK imports as well. Mmmm....London Pride beer.
Food is typical British pub fare - fish and chips, bangers and mash, pot pies...as well as burgers, pizzas, and sandwiches. Eveything I've tried off the menu was good or really good! My fiancée had one bad meal - one of the specials - that he didn't like.
When they first opened, service was a little spotty, but they seem to be keeping some good servers now.
All in all - a great place to meet friends, drink beer, eat fish and chips, squint your eyes a little and pretend you're on the other side of the pond.
