Review from Lonnie T.
8/24/2011 2 Check-ins Here
I've been in the restaurant. It was pretty good. This review is for their by the slice counter.
I had left Taste of Calgary unsatisfied appetite wise and needed a bit of a fill up. Decided to head over to Poco's and grab a slice. I am not huge pizza fan to begin with but I do like the pizza at Poco's.
The guy that I ordered the pizza from mentioned that he thought the pizza wasn't warm enough. He took it into the kitchen and nuked it for me. I headed outside and sat on the curb. The guy inside came out shortly after and offered me a stool.
I spent the next ten minutes think about how awesome the server was. Much love! -

Between Angelo finding his true love, only to have her pass out later in the middle of the floor... the scary giant guy singing "Part of Your World" from the Little Mermaid (which I'm now convinced is what you hear when you die) and the woman that came prepared with a pre-mixed CD for the karaoke emcee; "interesting" doesn't quite describe this place.
Next time, bring travel-sized Purell. -
Review from Wendy P.
*dive bar alert* And yes I'm giving it 4 stars. Why? Because you'll get an experience at Poco Loco's like nowhere else in the city. Not even Ducky's.
Besides having ridiculously good pizza, Poco's is host to karaoke night. I'm not sure if they're still doing it 7 nights a week, but it's definitely still there on the weekends. Now, if you hit the night right (which we seem to, so I'm inclined to think every night is the right night), you'll pretty much have the place to yourself save for a couple of the regulars. So there's no need to be shy around the karaoke machine.
The other bit you'll get at Poco Loco's is the experience of Dr. Love who appears to have taken over hosting the karaoke. We once did a duet together. That was something.
Though there's a decent selection of songs in the book, I don't think the karaoke book has been updated in quite some time, so don't expect some of the more recent hits to be in there. -

I think Poco's has one of the best english song karaoke selection in the city. In fact I'll go as far as to say it beats any $400 set of magic sing mics!
Unfortunately Poco doesn't have private rooms :S Leaving exposure to the heat of a dive bar joint. Decent beer/drink prices, although last night we went there was only one waitress who was serving the entire place, making her visits to your table very rare.
When one visits a dive bar and observes and comments on the characters that they see this place, one makes an assumption that such "shady" characters frequent this place. Perhaps this is half true, but I sometimes like to consider how they have observed me and if they in turn found me a befitting dive-bar character. Last night I shook hands with a friendly but strange fella newly arrived from North Africa ,who I assume realized that this was not the place to absorb Canadian culture and quickly disappeared.
One piece of advise: when singing karaoke at dives, ALWAYS deploy the use of a hypeman. Preferably one that is carrying some HEAT. -
Review from Arc P.
Always a blast with the Karaoke here! However, Friday was the first time I actually ate at Poco's. We had a Spinach Pie and Butcher Shop pizza. What I liked most about the pies were how clean they were. Much less greasier than I expected! It was a little more watery than I was used to, but it didn't bother me that much. I also thought it was a little overpriced. $18 dollars each for a small 10' is an excessive premium, but I would eat here again.
Interesting Fact: Poco's has WiFi, neat!
Every time I come to Poco's I have a good time, will be back when I have stress to release!Listed in: Karaoke Calgary
