 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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Homemade pizza |
7, 6449 Crowchild Trail Southwest Calgary, AB T3E 5R7 Canada +1 403 242 3323 |

Aside from the terrific menu that includes peppercorn steak and chicken Neptune, you can take advantage of free pool on Sundays, as well as try your luck at a selection of video lottery terminals. They offer an interesting mix of menu items including steak, delicious homemade pizza, veal, and various pasta dishes. You can take advantage of their formal dining room or their less- formal lounge.

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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 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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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.

California fusion |
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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Toe-tapping music! |
1324 17th Ave Southwest Calgary, AB T2T 5S8 Canada +1 403 244 1332 |
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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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). Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |
