 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 |

South Korea makes beer? |

With a list 200 beers deep, Bill's boasts Calgary's largest selection of suds. The "Around-the-World-in-80-Beers" program is a journey—complete with souvenir passport—through 80 import beers from such obscure beer-producing nations as Slovakia and Trinidad. The cozy surroundings, including a warm fireplace room, ensure that your drinking is done in comfort. And if that third bottle of Polish brew has got you hungry, Bill's menu includes tasty pub fare such as, ahem, sautéed bull's testicles. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Extra cactus paddles, please |
2218 Ave SW Calgary, AB T2P 1B7 Canada +1 403 264 4777 |
Since salsa culture has become Calgary's latest craze, the owners of Casa must be smiling smugly: they have been offering the food, music and spirits of Latin America for years. The large menu includes classics such as ceviche, sopes, burritos, and steak and seafood dishes. There are also Italian dishes with a Latin American influence, such as fettuccini with cactus paddles and pizzas topped with chayote squash. There is live music here on weekend nights, and enough tequila and fruity cocktails available to inspire some hot dancing. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Heading home after a long night |
1410 17th Avenue Southwest Calgary, AB T2T 0C3 Canada +1 403 244 4811 |
The Homestead is a casual, down-home restaurant (hence the name) that offers "comfort foods" such as burgers, fries, pizza and nachos. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, music videos and sports play on the televisions and they offer a large and eclectic menu with everything from sandwiches to fish and chips to an all-day breakfast. There are a couple of booths to choose from and when the bars along 17th Avenue close, The Homestead fills up. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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 |

For many Calgarians, a lifelong love of Asian food began with a dinner at Sam's. This stylish restaurant features dishes representing a wide range of Asian cuisines. You can find Peking, Cantonese, and Thai dishes on their extensive menu. There is also a Mongolian-style grill where diners assemble their own veggie, meat and sauce combinations and are charged by weight. Lunch and dinner buffets are available. There is nothing daring on the menu, but all the familiar favourites are here. Sam's is open late for midnight ginger beef cravings. Review © 2007, Wcities |

So what if its late? |

This new addition to the late night scene of the city is located in the pretty downtown area. Walk in after a long day or just for a pleasant change from the regular routine. Tunes of your choice are played for you to sing along with; yes, two karaoke bars are located on-site! Now for the food and drinks, bar tenders mix up great mood enhancers for you to indulge in. And to go with them are chicken wings and other such light snacks. Late open hours and the prime location make this a popular spot among the night-owls. Review © 2007, Wcities |
