Saw that there was still an Elephant and Castle in business, walked and was transported to jolly old England in oub form. Enjoyed some Carlsberg and sausage rolls while watching NFL. Best part of my night.

An 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.
