SHIP & ANCHOR PUB REVIEWS
If you’re looking for a great pub with numerous type of beverages, good food at a reasonable price, and a friendly service, this pub is FOR YOU. Kids are allowed untill 7pm and dogs are allowed on the other side of the patio. They don’t take reservation, so just come and grab the table. We came here on Saturday and they had the band playing interesting classic country music. We’ll definitely come back again next time!
The April Wine Tasting was a fantastic event that generated a lot of excitement and laughter. The band entertainment was incredible! So much energy and enthusiasm! The service was exceptional and the staff, friendly. I enjoyed the calamari steaks and slaw and enjoyed the entire afternoon vibe. The sommelier = the best. I'll be back. Thank you!
I was only in Calgary for one night, and only really a matter of hours. I was taken here by a friend, and had the best night. Great place to meet a bunch of super friendly locals. Very eclectic crowd, and all super welcoming. Great service also! Fabulous staff.

THE BANK AND BARON P.U.B REVIEWS
Delicious food with an incredible atmosphere. The building this restaurant is in used to be an old bank, so everything looks large and fancy. I had the fish and chips, and my friend had the tuna poké bowl. Our server was very attentive and polite. Washrooms were super clean.
Best dinner I have ever had! The food is incredible, the drinks are great, very well priced and the staff is incredible! Kenzie was our waitress and she is amazing! We asked for recommendations and she did not disappoint. I highly recommend this place!
Great food and service!! A perfect spot to watch a game and chat with the bartenders. Fair pricing and vibrant atmosphere is what makes me return.

THE UNICORN REVIEWS
Visited the patio on a Saturday evening and got the table pretty soon. The place got busier by the night. Loved the vibe and the food and drinks. The service was quick and the nachos were delicious. Would visit again given the nice vibe at Stephen Avenue.
Went there for a late lunch and was amazed by how popular this place is. The drink selection is amazing with lots of variety from Canadian breweries to discover. Food is really good too. Definitely coming back!
Great spot with a different atmosphere on every level. The staff are great, I haven't ever eaten here as it's been just a walk by beer or a full on party spot watching a band in the basement. Just on 8th Ave it's a great location to check out.
