Why go new when you can go old?

1. Alpine Sausage
Alpine Sausage is located one door down from the Glamorgan Bakery, so if you are feeling particularly like drowning yourself in the greatest cheese buns of all time and chasing those with delicious pieces of finely cut lyoner sausage than make your…More »
2. Swizzlesticks Salon Spa
Calgary, AB T2N 3P6
(403) 270-7333
Categories:
Cosmetics & Beauty Supply,
Skin Care,
Hair Salons
Since I was barely twenty years old I have been sporadically paying visits to Swizzlesticks. It has always been my back-up for when my hair has gone terribly wrong somewhere else, which in this city seems to be the norm. I have had so many…More »
3. The King & I Thai Cuisine
I attended a friend's birthday last night which began at the King & I. There was a group of about 15 of us which was accommodated nicely. We had our own private room and the tables were set up so that everyone was facing each other. I can honestly…More »
4. Associated Cabs
If you are new to Calgary or just visiting, this is the cab company to call. I have nothing short of wonderful experiences in Associated Cabs over the years minus a few minor, unpleasant encounters with some of their dispatch staff.
The cab drivers…More »
5. Kane's Harley Diner
What a strange and wonderful place Kane's is. I remember when it opened, I think that's the last time I visited, everything was shiny and new, it looked as though someone had blown up a Harley Logo inside mixed with the retro feel of a typical…More »
6. Danish Canadian Club
Calgary, AB T2R 0E3

The Danish Canadian club is seriously a treasure in Calgary! My grandfather was Danish and I remember many a visit with him to the old deli the DCC used to run in addition to the club. It is long gone but the DCC still stands tall. My father took me…More »
7. Riley Park
As I get older I am finding that I have significantly more appreciation for a good park. Calgary has a nice amount of them and Riley Park is one of my favorites. Not only because it's in my neighbourhood, but because it seems to have some kind of…More »
8. Jack Singer Concert Hall
The Jack Singer is a top notch venue for concerts. It's stunning to look at, there really isn't a bad seat in the house and the acoustics are incredible. My only recommendation is that if you wind up in the balconies, try to get seats that are closer…More »
9. The Brass Monocle
You get what you pay for and if you pay a little extra (or a lot extra) at the Brass Monocle you will be more than satisfied with what you get. As Danny F. mentioned you will certainly avoid looking like every other glasses wearing Calgarian. The…More »
10. Aida's Mediterranean Bistro
The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Aida's is always my first choice when entertaining people from out of town and in town. The food has been consistently delicious since the day Aida opened her door. I noticed there were some comments about this…More »
11. Heritage Park
Calgary, AB T2V 2X3
(403) 268-8500
I have been visiting the park since I was a toddler and am now 33 years old and still regard it as the most wonderful place in the world. I look forward to each and every summer reopening and am thrilled every time I get to come back. There really is…More »
12. Republik Nightclub
It's the same old Republik. Kind of dirty, a great venue for live music and filled with hipsters and scenesters (today's version of the punks and hippies of the 90's). I don't know what else to say really. Maybe don't touch too many things in the bar…More »
13. Hanni's Restaurant
Hanni's is great if you order the basics. The pizza is delicious, thick crust, beautifully baked and covered in cheese! The pastas are cheap and incredibly filling, the sides and portion sizes are ridiculous. The souvlaki is also delicious, it's a…More »
14. Deerhead Cafe
I wondered aloud this morning "does anyone go here anymore??" This place used to be THE breakfast joint of of hipsters who are now well into their thirties. It was even the location of a Huevos Rancheros video back in the day!
I haven't been in years…More »
15. Roasterie
It seems the Roasterie is taking a beating lately in Yelp land and I feel obliged to come to it's rescue. I LOVE the Roasterie! I have been in Calgary my whole life and at 34 years old still frequent it the same way I did when I was 18 years old. It…More »
16. Plaza Theatre
I am never going to another movie theatre again!!. As a Kensington Resident, I feel lucky to have this theatre in my back yard. It is one of the only places in Calgary that makes me feel like I live in a big city. It is so fucking cool inside, the…More »
17. Caffe Beano
For me Beano is the most vibrant, exciting coffee shop in town. I am surprised by all the negative comments here! Sure the staff can be a little surly at time but they deal with a massive amount of people throughout the day and I personally don't…More »
18. Lina's Italian Market

Lina's is a bustling Italian institution in Calgary. It's been around for years and should be your first stop for a traditional Italian grocery shop. I would take Lina's over 10 Mercato's any day. It is affordable and delicious. I like to make an…More »
19. Cilantro
I saved Cilantro for my 100th review on purpose so I can say this:
I LOVE YOU CILANTRO
At the risk of repeating myself, Calgary has a tendency to abandon it's history which is such a mistake because it's so wonderful to have places to go to that can…More »
20. Chicken-On-The-Way
Best fried chicken in the city. My husband and I rode our bikes there in an attempt to negate what we both new would happen after ordering. The chicken is farm fresh, relies on it's own incredible flavour instead of tasting lack mass produced, creepy…More »

21. North Glenmore Park
North Glenmore Park is one of the most beautiful places in Calgary. I grew up next to it and spent so much time there for all kinds of reasons and events throughout my life. It is the only park in the city where you can stand and look over a body of…More »

These sandwiches are so good it's a little ridiculous. I can actually taste how delicious it is while typing this. My only problem is the bread they use, it sucks, but what they put inside of it makes up for it. I also wish they had better sides to…More »
23. Cineplex Odeon Eau Claire Market
Eau Claire is my number one mainstream theater choice. It's not all pretty and fancy, it's a little worse for wear and it's some time broken but that's just how this movie lover, loves her movie theaters. I go to the movies to SEE MOVIES, not to buy…More »
24. Ship & Anchor Pub
The Grand Dame of Calgary's punk/rock/rockabilly/alt-count ry scene. Ages range from 18 - 80. Gay friendly. There is nothing like it in Calgary and if you don't like it there it's probably because you don't belong there.
