1. 1410 World Bier Haus
You're up, you're down. You've landed somewhere in the middle. 1410, once upon a time I really did enjoy your surroundings, your staff and your offerings. But over the last year or so something changed. Your music got louder, you just seemed to have…More »

1410 and I have been acquaintances for a long while. We would see each other every now and again… Read more »
2. Ducky's Pub & Restaurant
The time to go to Ducky's is not on a weekend. In fact, it's way too busy on a weekend. When you're wanting karaoke and you need a bit more of an updated song selection than Nanta's, Ducky's can be your stage on a weekday night... like a Wednesday…More »

Ducky's... oh Ducky's. You remind me of a small town bar. You know the one, right? It's the only… Read more »
3. Bottlescrew Bill's Old English Pub
Why do I have to have principles? It's messing with my Yelp reviews. Bill's remains a solid 4 (and probably 5 once I'm done my beer passport) establishment. The service is awesome, the food rocks, and there's more beers than you can shake a stick at.…More »

Well, I've officially kicked off my beer passport, which means I'll be spending a lot more time here… Read more »
4. The Yardhouse
You know that feeling when one of your friends makes a change to their appearance in some way, whether they got a new 'do or even a new pair of glasses, and you notice something is different, but can't quite pinpoint what it is right away? That's…More »

Yard - from the English word meaning piece of land designated as a lounge and play area. House -… Read more »
5. Hop In Brew Pub
A little on the top... a little on the bottom. Hop In Brew continues to be a steady fave when I'm in need of a brew with some buds.
From Festivus with the yelpers in December to meetups and just popping in for a pint and some pizza, it has its own…More »

Hop in Brew... oh Hop in Brew, how can I not love your little pub in a house? Upstairs and down,… Read more »
6. Below Deck
Who needs a flight to Nova Scotia when you can find a piece of it right here in Calgary? I was walking along Stephen Ave when I saw a big sign "Below Deck now open" on the sidewalk. I looked in the direction of where the sign was pointing and saw a…More »
7. Mikey's Juke Joint & Eatery
I drive by Mikey's every time I take 11th Ave SW to get to Crowchild. I always though it was a bit of a random spot for a pub, and each drive by was a reminder that I wanted to check it out. So when one of my friends said she'd be playing there, I…More »
8. Boca Loca Fine Mexican Foods
Boca Loca's touts itself as a grocer and fine Mexican and African food. One shelving unit of groceries a grocer does not make. As for the restaurant part, well, it's definitely quick, and my food was good... but I'm a bit on the fence about Boca…More »
9. The Kensington Pub
The Kensington Pub has always felt a little like it's been lifted right out of a fairy tale. I half expect Hansel and Gretel to come waltzing down a nearby path, it's got that kind of cottage feel to it. The interior is cozy and welcoming, with…More »
10. Toque International Lounge
Another visit to Toque, and another positive experience. Previous places in this location have suffered the ill fate of no customers whenever I've gone in. Whatever Toque is doing, they're doing it right.
Today I tried out a new pizza they've got…More »

There have been a couple of bars preceding Toque's in this location since I've moved into the area a… Read more »
11. Gaga Pizzeria
Mamma Mia! Itza new pizzeria! This stretch of 12th Ave is starting to get some really cute little businesses.
I was wandering around looking for dinner and noticed the sign for Gaga Pizzeria glowing red across the dark street. "Hmmm, I wonder how long…More »
12. Dickens Pub
Did you know you can play board games here on a Sunday afternoons? It's genius. Quiet time, beer and nummy food (and cookies that Tiffany N bakes if your birthday happens to be coming up... well, my birthday anyway)
My visit to Dickens this afternoon…More »
13. Fiddlers Courtyard
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…More »
