- PSPRAMOD SINGHDec 17, 20255.0We recently held a CPA event, and it was well organized. The food and service were good, contributing to a pleasant overall experience
- JMJarrod MajorDec 15, 20255.0An authentic British Pub experience. A Calgary fixture that should be visited to sample their varied fare. The food quality is excellent, the pastry is top shelf (try the sausage rolls, seriously!) The music was a bit loud but you can still find a quiet corner to be able to enjoy some good conversation while you savour your meals. Treat yourself, you won't regret it. Prices are reasonable.
- SAStormie AliyahDec 11, 20251.0bartender was good, food was good. wouldn’t enter here though unless you want people to talk about your race as soon as you walk in, the coworkers here will chat behind your back (literally) lol.
