1. U & Me Restaurant
When it's 2 am on a Saturday and you're craving some dim sum, where do you and me go? Why, to U&Me.
I ended up here Saturday night. I couldn't believe how many people there were inside at that hour for dim sum. Probably because it's one of the few…More »
2. Melrose Cafe & Bar
Melrose, oh Melrose. You've been around Calgary for so long. I'm not sure what exactly it is about you that attracts a certain crowd on the weekends, that crowd that seems to go with a sleazy sports bar where 40 year old business men can't decide…More »

If you've ever been on 17th Ave on a hot summer day, you've undoubtedly seen the crowd that is the… Read more »
3. Big T's Bbq & Smokehouse
I had no idea what I was getting myself into when my frisbee team suggested heading to Big T's after our last fall league game of the year (which just so happened to be Halloween night and I was dressed as Wendy from Wendy's... see the photos on my…More »
4. Molly Malone's Irish Pub
The more time I spend at Molly's, the more I like it... the best time to experience Molly's is during non-peak hours (in other words, not on a Friday or Saturday night). That's when I really like the vibe.
There are a couple of rooms near the back…More »

5. Brewsters Brewing Company & Restaurant
What's still awesome about Brewster's downtown? The blueberry ale. Always was, always will be. The service is also still right up there. These guys have a good formula going.
But what's changed? Renos for one. It's about half the size it used to be,…More »

6. Boston Pizza
I've always relied on Boston Pizza when I'm out of town and there are not yet any Yelp reviews to help me find a good place to eat. I was disappointed in my experience at the BP's in Wetaskiwin. Having lived in Alberta my entire life, BP's and I…More »
7. Toad N Turtle Pubhouse & Grill
On the corner of Barlow Trail and 27th Ave NE, the Toad'N'Turtle is a comfortably sized pub with decent food drink. I've never had any bad experiences near, never any over the top ones either. But that's a good thing in my books, because it means…More »
8. Gaucho Brazilian Barbecue
Bring out your A-game eating skills. Gaucho's is not for the faint of stomach.
We had a table for ten booked at 7:15 Saturday night. The night started innocently enough with a visit to the buffet. It included some veggies, rice, etc. With my eye on…More »
9. 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 »

10. The Bottlehouse Beer Parlour
Businesses seem to turn over a fair bit in this particular building, though I've never heard reason why. The layout is fantastic. It's a longer room with seating all the way from the front to the back. The back would be ideal to rope off if you…More »
11. West Restaurant and Bar
There's more to West than meet's the eye. From lunch to dinner, meeting space to club space, West has a variety of different spaces that can be transformed to meet just about any need.
The food at West is pretty tasty, and as Angela M discovered,…More »
12. Globefish Sushi & Izakaya
I headed to the new Globefish location in Chinook Centre tonight for a friend's birthday dinner. I'm happy they already had the table when I got there, as there was a line at the front door of people waiting to be seated and not a lot of room in…More »
13. Poco Loco Pizza
*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…More »
14. Limericks Traditional Public House
What's there to say about Limericks? Well, it's pretty much your standard North American "Irish" Pub. It reminds me a lot of the Kilkenny actually. If I'm not mistaken, they're under the same ownership (along with Dixon's, Donegal, Joyce and…More »
15. Charcut Roast House
Once upon a time, there was this hot new ticket in town. Charcut. My first visit was in December of 2010. Then in January of 2011, there was this explosion of something called an Alley Burger. We lined up by Charcut's back kitchen door for $5…More »

16. Bull & Finch Pub Restaurant
So it's been just about a year, and I'm back at the Bull & Finch again. I'm pretty sure we've even got the same server.
Honestly, two things keep us coming back. 1) location. When you're out at the Saints Rugby Field and the Clubhouse is closed, this…More »

17. Boyd's Seafood Restaurant
I think this is the fastest I've ever had fish and chips cooked and served to me. A friend and I were headed to watch a 2:10 show at Chinook. We were trying to find a spot downtown to meet for lunch with no avail, so we headed further south.
It was…More »
18. Firewater
Smooth, hardwood floors. Dimly lit ambient lighting. Ample seating at booths, tables or at the bar. A large chandelier hangs from the ceiling on the upper level.
Ambiance, that's one aspect I think Firewater's gotten right from the start. They're…More »
19. Chinese Cultural Centre Restaurant
What lies beneath the main floor of the Chinese Cultural Centre here in Calgary? Why, it's a restaurant. In fact, it's a CHINESE food restaurant. Go figure! I know what you're thinking, it was a restaurant once before too. The difference? It's under…More »
20. Crush Restaurant & Lounge - CLOSED
5 stars for Crush? Hellz yeah! This place just got better after my Saturday night dinner there with my best friend's mom. She was staying with me this weekend for a course and we headed to Crush on Saturday night for something close by and still…More »

21. Blink Restaurant & Bar
Blink looks narrow and long from the outside. From the inside, though it is still much longer than it is wide, it's not as small as I initially thought.
Blink has impressed me from the get go. I made a reservation through Open Table. The day of, Blink…More »
22. Vin Room
I had THE BEST time at Vin Room yesterday. It was sooooo good, in fact, that I just had to upgrade my review from a 5 start to, well.. a 5 star. Have you read any reviews that wished they could give a biz 0 stars? The same feeling works in the…More »

23. Jamesons Pub
Jamesons, oh Jamesons. You were so close to a 4 star review.
I stopped in last Sunday with my rec Ultimate Frisbee team. We were greeted promptly by one of the managers. He was great! He helped us set up some tables to accommodate 8 of us. One of the…More »
24. Mountain View Bowl
Mountain View Bowl's got its pros and cons, but overall, it's got a good thing going on. I love that we could choose between bowling 5-pin or 10-pin. The only drawback here is that it makes for a limited amount of lanes on either side. The lanes and…More »
25. Atlas Pizza & Sports Bar
The pizza reminded me of the stuff I used to get in the pub back home in small town Alberta. Nothing fancy with the toppings, just 33 variations of cheese, onion, mushroom, pineapple, pepperoni, tomato, green pepper beef, ham-you know, the way North…More »
26. Yuk Yuk's Calgary -
Yuk Yuk's is hidden away on the 2nd floor of the Elbow River Casino. I've had a couple of occasions to visit it recently, and I daresay, I'm going to be frequenting this comedy club a little more often. I've been to a couple of the other comedy shops…More »
27. Cantos Music Foundation
Keyboards, pianos, harpsichords... oh my! Have you been on a tour of Cantos yet? If you haven't, this is something you've got to see. It was a stop on last Thursday's artWalk with Art.
Over 200 instruments are in this location and most are…More »
28. Fish Creek Provincial Park
Fish Creek Park is a beautiful area. It always surprises me how big it is! And who knew there were day-use picnic areas to reserve? Not this kid, at least not until last weekend.
The park is full of paths and is well used by cyclists, walkers,…More »

I've been to Flames Central on a few different occasions throughout my years in Calgary. Hockey games, concerts, pre-drinks for other events... and I must say, I'm pleased.
The layout is wonderful, with the stage at the front, some seating on the…More »
30. Riverbend Station Neighborhood Pub
Riverbend Station is our stop whenever my team ends up playing an Ultimate Frisbee game in Riverbend. On a Tuesday night, you shouldn't have any troubles finding a place for your sports team to sit. The pub is pretty spacious, and not usually that…More »
31. Buddha's Veggie Restaurant
I think this was the third or fourth time I've ever eaten dim sum. So if you're a dim sum specialist, you may or may not have differing opinions, because so far I think it's all pretty darn tasty.
I met up with some other yelpers for a Sunday brunch.…More »
32. Falafel King
Oh me oh my, you are not quite what I was expecting when I walked through your front door Falafel King. You're way too clean, too orderly, too spacious. And those are bad things? Well, let's just say it takes away from the hole-in-the-wall concept I…More »
33. 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 »

The atmosphere, gorgeous. The drinks, refreshing. The food, a play with my tastebuds.
I stopped in at Sociale last Thursday for a bite and some drinks. I ordered the Swizzle (Bombay sapphire gin, limoncello and soda shaken with sugar and lime) to…More »
35. The Barley Mill
You know what? For awhile, the Barley Mill was sitting at a solid 3.5 stars. The food is alright, the selection of beers is decent, the location and the patio are both wonderful.
I've been by on many an occasion and the service has always been a-ok.…More »
36. Sandy Beach Park
Once upon a time when I would hear people mention Sandy Beach, I thought it was somewhere outside of the city, mostly because the references I heard were for rafting (the drifting kind, not the white water kind). People said it was one of the best…More »
37. Libertine Public House
If I had stayed at a table on my recent late afternoon/early evening visit to The Libertine, I'm not sure that they would've received a 4 star rating. I walked in and asked on of the servers if I should just seat myself "Yeah, sure," came the reply…More »
38. Local 002 Public Tavern & Kitchen
Local 002, what is it with you? I like your sister locations, 510 and 522... my Ultimate Frisbee team and I were looking for a spot to go after our final game of the season. A few other spots in the area were too full for our group of 12, so we…More »
39. Rush Dining Room
Wow. Rush is swank! The service, the food, the decor... it's top-notch. The exterior of Rush is unassuming. The silver letters used against the white walls of the building are easy to miss if you're not looking for them. Guys, if you want to impress…More »
40. Brava Bistro
When four people head out for dinner, it's inevitable that three of them may have a four star experience and one of them comes out feeling like their visit was a three star. I'm the "one of them" in this story, or rather in this short anecdote.
