Basil's Restaurant


Mom's home cooking
2118 33rd Avenue Southwest
Calgary, AB T2T 1Z6
Canada
+1 403 246 0771
Basil's offers the kind of food dear old Mom used to make: order liver and onions cooked with bacon, a New York steak or a bowl of homemade chicken soup. You can also order steak, chicken and salads as well as 15 different types of pasta. Some of these include lasagna, spaghetti with mushrooms and penne with red pepper and sausage. This is a casual, family owned establishment where children and seniors are especially welcome. The service is quick and friendly and the servings are immense.

Bass Brothers Beer House and Grill


Comfy pub, stylish fare
1136 Kensington Road NW
Calgary, AB T2N 3P3
Canada
+1 403 283 7443
It was only a matter of time before Victor Choy, proprietor of such trendy bars as The Mercury and Concorde, made his stylish mark on Kensington. The fine-lined woodwork and big windows make this a classier-than-average pub, but it's the menu that truly impresses. This is gourmet pub grub. To go with your beer there are bacon-stuffed burgers with roquefort mayonnaise, sandwiches of pepperoni on rye, baked salmon, and curried chicken salad with peaches.

Calgary, AB T3E 5R7
Canada

Bella Roma's is the place to go if you are looking for a good meal in a casual and relaxed atmosphere.

They offer an interesting mix of menu items including steak, delicious homemade pizza, veal, and various pasta dishes.

Ceili's Irish Pub and Restaurant


Contemporary Irish hangout
513 Eighth Avenue Southwest
Penny Lane Mall
Calgary, AB T2P 1G3
Canada
+1 403 508 9999
http://www.ceilis.com/
At happy hours, particularly on the weekend, the crowd is shoulder to shoulder and spilling out to the sidewalk at this wildly popular Irish pub and eatery in downtown's south end. Much of the crowd is there to pull pints of Kilkenny, Caffrey's and, of course, Guinness. But there's also moderately priced food to be had, from traditional Irish dishes like Salmon Boxty (a stuffed potato pancake, CAD10), to more contemporary Canadian pub food. The pub features four floors of fun, with Cottage, Gaelic, Victorian and pub theme areas, along with a rooftop terrace.

Dixon's Public House


Maritimer memorabilia
24, 15425 Bannister Road Southeast
Calgary, AB T2X 3E9
Canada
+1 403 254 1200
http://www.calgarysbestpubs.co...
Dixon's Public House offers a large and varied menu that takes you back east to the salty breezes of the Canadian Maritimes. Try the Guinness and asparagus soup, or their Jack Daniel's barbecued chicken. Although it's a little out of the way, you will be glad you came to check out the food and charm. The decor is reminiscent of an old British pub with all kinds of memorabilia from the Maritimes that decorate the walls. They also have an upstairs and patio seating is available in the warmer months.

Fionn McCool's Irish Pub


The Guinness is approved
255 Barclay Parade Southwest
Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire
Calgary, AB T2P 5C2
Canada
+1 403 266 7200 (Hotel)
http://www.starwoodhotels.com/...
With its entrance off the towering modern lobby of the new Sheraton Suites Eau Claire, it might be difficult to make the mental leap over the Atlantic to Ireland. But the Emerald Isle is the thematic setting of this new pub and restaurant. Then again, the bar fixtures have been brought over from the old country, and the bar itself is Guinness approved, meaning visitors will find a true pint of the dark nectar. The crowd is decidedly up-market. The affordable pub-style food ranges from traditional Irish dishes to pastas, salads and burgers.

Calgary, AB T3E 0B6
Canada
+1 403 242 4597
Celebrating its 32nd year, Greco's is now serving its second and third generations of Calgarians. It is family owned and operated, and offers excellent food at very reasonable prices. Their specialties are delicious pizza and steaks, but the menu includes soups and salads. For a formal dining experience, choose the restaurant; for a casual afternoon or evening, visit the lounge, which offers Video Lottery Terminals and large screen televisions. Selections from senior's menu are just $6.95 everyday.

Honey's Pizza and Sports Parlour


For all you sports fans
517 10th Avenue Southwest
Calgary, AB T2R 0A8
Canada
+1 403 294 1494
If you're a big sports fan, or know someone who is, check out Honey's Pizza & Sports Parlor. Their central location coupled with great prices, makes it an easy choice if you're looking for munchies and jugs of draft. They offer three televisions and one big screen with round the clock sports via satellite. You can also shoot a game of pool, or take part in their dart tournaments. Honey's is reminiscent of an old English pub, with a wrap-around bar and hardwood floors.

James Joyce Authentic Irish Pub


You'll swear you're in Dublin
114 8th Avenue Southwest
Calgary, AB T2P 1B3
Canada
+1 403 262 0708
http://www.jamesjoycepub.com/
A visitor walking through the wide front doors of this revived heritage bank building may quickly feel they've died and gone to Dublin. From the brews on tap (Guinness at three different temperatures and many other ales), to the acres of dark wood and utter absence of TVs or pinging video gaming machines, this is the green isle revisited. The food includes modestly priced pub fare such as soups, stews and carvery meats. For a big snack, try their Irish take on nachos.

A pub but so much more
2000 Airport Rd NE
P.O Box 160
Calgary, AB T2N 4C7
Canada
+1 403 292 8440
http://www.kelseys.ca/home.html
This is a great place to go if you are looking for a restaurant that appeals to a broad range of tastes. It offers an excellent assortment of appetizers and goodies for sharing, as well as delicious entrees such as prime rib, seafood and pasta. Dark and homey, a cross between an English pub and your great grandfather's basement, it is filled with treasures and memorabilia like original Coca-Cola signs and quaint old-fashioned pictures of Americana. Child-friendly, it offers a great menu for the kids.

King's Head


Live entertainment plus pool and VLTs
15 - 9116 Macleod Trail South
Calgary, AB T2J 0P5
Canada
+1 403 259 0111
Located on Macleod Trail south, this bar attracts a lively crowd of both regulars and newcomers with a combination of live entertainment and, in the warmer months, a south-facing patio. Along with delicious food they offer a number of amenities including a pool table, dartboard and daily drink specials. The large menu features pub grub such as nachos, chicken wings and baby back ribs that start at CAD6.95.

Limericks


A "new" traditional pub
7304 Macleod Trail South
Calgary, AB T2H 0L9
Canada
+1 403 252 9190
On the stomping heels of Riverdance, Irish pubs are a growth industry. This latest pub is also the first one located well outside the city core. This two-level space along one of Calgary's main drags is big on atmosphere and beer, with regular live Celtic music performances and Guinness, Harp and Kilkenny on tap. Curiously, the moderately priced menu wanders the globe from New Orleans to Athens, and could arguably benefit from some focus. There is an elevated patio for warm summer nights.

15, 8120 Beddington Blvd Northwest
Beddington Town Centre
Calgary, AB T2L 1K8
Canada
+1 403 295 2175
http://www.madisons.ca/
Madisons is one of the newer cafés to enter the restaurant scene in Calgary. Their Sunday Brunch includes Belgian waffles, homemade pancakes, eggs benedict and omelets. Their menu consists of "California fusion" which includes stir-fries, vegetarian dishes and "create your own" pizzas. There is also a large selection of beer and wines. Both the newly renovated lounge and more formal dining room exude a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. Because they are located in the Brentwood Mall, parking is never a problem.

Molly Malone's Irish Pub


Warm and friendly
1153 Kensington Crescent North West
Calgary, AB T2N 1X7
Canada
+1 403 296 3200
With the startling number of Celtic pubs sprouting up in town you'd think Calgary's civic planning department is run by the Guinness family. Still, no one is complaining. Molly Malone's is one of the better new pubs in the trendy Kensington neighbourhood. Subdued lighting, intimate booths and a huge bar make for a relaxed pint, and if you are having trouble deciding, the ubiquitous Guinness-propaganda on the walls offers some suggestion. The menu features a variety of beer-inspired pub fare such as Smithwicks fish and chips and ploughman's sandwich.

Calgary, AB T2T 5S8
Canada

This pub-type establishment is always bustling, noisy and friendly. If you enjoy listening to the blues, visit Morgan's on Saturday afternoon for their weekly blues jam, which has attained a loud and loyal following. They also offer pool tables, big screen televisions and a large outdoor patio. The service is fast and amicable, and you can order deluxe gourmet hamburgers, spicy chicken wings, hot dogs and nachos. They also have a large selection of ales and lagers.

Rose & Crown Pub


British country pub
1503 4 St SW
(North of 17th Avenue)
Calgary, AB T2R 0Y3
Canada
+1 403 244 7757
One of the first attempts at capturing the look, feel and sensibilities of a small village country pub in the U.K., this stop has remained popular for more than 15 years. Located just a few blocks south of downtown in a rambling old building (legend has it as a former funeral home), there are three distinct bar areas with booths and tables. There are also comfy couches, some near fireplaces. Come summer, there's also a heated patio area. There are some 30 beers, many of them imported and starting at about CAD 5 a pint. The menu, meanwhile, tilts towards finger foods, burgers and sandwiches—though the latter can be as adventurous as turkey, strawberry and Brie on sourdough (CAD 9).

Roxbury


A supper club to bring your friends
1006 11th Avenue Southwest
Calgary, AB T2R 0G3
Canada
+1 403 244 2440
As you enter The Roxbury the first thing you notice is their beautiful foyer and majestic, old-style staircase. Relax in one of the comfortable, deep armchairs or choose a more formal, sit-down table; play pool or a game of darts. This cocktail bar and supper club has an impressive list of appetizers including calamari, chicken wings, California salad rolls and chicken dumplings. They also offer entrees such as grilled chicken breast with prawns and an excellent grilled Atlantic salmon. Their wine and martini selection is particularly impressive.

Royal Duke


Shepherd's pie, anyone?
255 5th Avenue Southwest
Bow Valley Square
Calgary, AB T2P 3G6
Canada
+1 403 263 7763
The view into Royal Duke from inside the pedestrian plaza at Bow Valley Square, a downtown office complex, looks dark, stuffy and less than inviting. But visitors who stick their heads in and adjust their eyes to the dark surroundings find a large, but still cozy restaurant and bar serving British-influenced food and drinks to the business crowd. The menu includes such traditional fare as Bangers and Mash and Shepherd's Pie, but there are also salads and daily pasta specials. The service is friendly and fast.

Tony Roma's


A place for ribs
3010 23rd Street NE
Calgary, AB T2E 8R7
Canada
+1 403 242 7427
http://www.tonyromas.com
Tony Roma's has several locations in the city, each boasting soft lighting, hardwood floors, lots of plants and attention to detail, making it a great place to bring family and friends for a dose of comfort food. Although they specialize in ribs, you can also choose from an appetizer platter filled with potato skins, chicken wings and deep fried cheese sticks, as well as a variety of salads and steak and chicken entrees—but the flame broiled baby back ribs in tangy barbeque sauce are the biggest hit.

Unicorn


Plentiful pints
304 Eighth Ave South West
St Stephen Mall
Calgary, AB T2P 1C2
Canada
+1 403 234 8816
http://www.theunicorncalgary.com
On St. Patrick's Day the lines stretch up the stairs from this basement restaurant-pub to the Stephen Avenue pedestrian mall, with everyone wanting to get in and be Irish for a day. The rest of the year the place is marketed as traditional Irish but could just as easily be traditional Welsh or British, with the food and atmosphere not tilting too heavily toward any particular old-world origin. Known for its lively downtown clientele, there are plenty of traditional beers on tap and pub food available. A Victorian-influenced dining room offers more formal meals, the menu offering items such as Tex-Mex Chicken and Steak and Kidney Pie.
