“Food is great! I would definitely be coming back.“

“Traveling thru Calgary ... hotel recommended Moxies. We used Uber app for delivery. The deliver to address was wrong. We called the restaurant, and they were OUTSTANDING... they spent time to help with sincerity and true customer service. And the food was EXCELLENT ..... can't recommend this restaurant (or its staff) any higher.“

“We enjoyed wonderful food and wonderful service from Violet Mackey yesterday. I highly recommend going there. 👍👍“

“I love Leopold's Tavern! Great atmoshphere and the food is great!!!“

“Had a blast at blacklight music bingo! can't wait till the end of February to do it all over again!! bartenders were chill dudes!“

“Incredible times at The Ironwood Stage and Grill! Such a wonderful Calgary music venue. A must visit for visitors and a must support and enjoy for locals. Pictures shown are from the Steve Fisher Fundraiser (eight hours of bluegrass and folk music!) on February 15th 2026. Bands shown: Smokin' Toad Revival, Turbo, Carolyn Harley Trio, Al Lamonaca MCing from 9th Ave All Stars, Lost Prospectors, Donna and Leroy Anderson, Dale Ulan and Jim McLennan. Amazing outpouring of support and friendship from the bluegrass and folk community for one of its own! It could only happen with such warmth, atmosphere, and professionalism at Patrick MacIntyre's Ironwood with it's wonderful staff team and excellent sound pro, Nate.“

“Service is goog“

“great place if u like waitresses with no customer service skills“

“Awesome service last night, November 6th, from an amazing server, Jessie, whom I have known for years. She was working alone, and even though was attending a 40th birthday party for a special friend,and there were over 35 people in our group alone, she was so prompt, friendly and we never waited for drinks and/or food, Great job Aram and Rob for hiring this young lady and many thanks to you all for a fabulous evening. Also, a shout out to Ryan, the Chef, whose food is always delicious, hot and in my estimation, Murdoch's has the BEST and most varied assortment of food. Fond regards and many thanks. Cindy“

“George and Peter how is Trevor allowed in the kitchen he doesn't even shower... he's seriously dirty and smells. Look at how dirty his clothes are... gross“

“I was in Calgary with friends for an event yesterday. We strolled down Stephen Avenue and stopped in for a yummy early lunch! It was incredible! Very nice, open atmosphere!“

“I'm a FAN OF THE COOK AND WAITRESSEs .“

“We visited after a noon graduation for a quick lunch and drinks. When we walked in we were greeted and told it was self seating. We found a table and were greeted by the extremely friendly bartender/server. She relayed the special of the day for drinks and food. We ordered our drinks and they came out quickly and they tasted great! One of the largest 5 dollar beers I have ever had! Next our food came out and it was plenty of food to share with great portions and it was super tasty! Our server checked on us regularly and was amazing to talk to! It was a great experience will definitely go back!“

“The outside does no justice to what you find inside. Amazing well liquors, great draft selection, comfortable and welcoming decor. Casey and Shannon delivered service both fun and engaging. The $12 Breakfast beats the brakes off something you’d get at Denny’s for $20, check them out.“

“Walked in on a random Wednesday. Food was really good. Music was on point. Katelyn was on shift. Exceptional service. Katelyn was very attentive and engaging. In fact all the staff here have a very positive attitude. Highly recommend.“

“Let me start out by saying that Lauren was our server and I never been served by someone as exceptionally as she was top notch service and also a big shout out to Kevin who cooked our food we had wings and 2 large pizzas to go. We will definitely be back again hopefully to have Lauren as our server. Thank you“

“very welcoming atmosphere, the best food, new Management. Delicious food 😋“

“Great as usual!
Except this time made the mistake of ordering the Artic Char. It was over cooked and of course super dry.
However, the braised short rib was well loved by my guest!

Our server Niko(Steve) is a pro. Personable and on the ball. Thank you sir!

Murrieta's is still my favorite downtown restaurants. Too bad they've discontinued the live music in the weekends.“

“Se come rico y el lugar es muy agradable“

“A good place to have fun! Lots of regulars :)“

“Every staff member was extremely kind/welcoming not just at the bar and grill but throughout. Very relaxing atmospher (plus they have a beautiful GIAAANT Christmas tree in the lobby, nice photo op) would highly recommend their food, their menu is impressive and the service was excellent. Will definitely be back. Very spacious as well“

“I wish I could give it a 10 🌟-rate. Thoughtful, truly caring service, amazing food, quiet place, and relaxing vibe. My partner had bison burger, I had chicken wings, Ceaser salad, and cheese cake. Everything was 10/10. Prices are lower than downtown, portions are huge, everything tasted fresh and was nicely presented. Excellent choice of sweets/ dessert.“

“Pinbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllll!!!“

“Stopped by the bar and had an amazing experience thanks to Bella. The service was incredibly fast, and the food came out hot and delicious. She was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole visit smooth from start to finish. On top of that, she’s carries herself so professionally. Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had here.“

“My husband and I used Charbar as our reception/dinner venue for our wedding in August 2022. Besides a few hiccups, which are to be expected, we had a great experience with them! The food was amazing and all of our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about it! The venue is a beautiful spot, and minimal decor was needed. The bar staff that we had the night of were great and made sure we were taken care of. We were able to have a tasting before hand and our coordinators worked with us to come up with a specialty cocktail that fit our budget. The only thing that might have been lacking was communication between ourselves, the coordinator, and the staff working our event. We struggled to get answers back right away through email, but our wedding was around Stampede time. There were a few mix-ups the night before and the day of our wedding. For example: We were dropping off our cake the night before to be refrigerated and was told that the manager on shift would know about it. When we got there, no one had any idea what we were talking about and our cake was almost given to the wedding that was happening that night. The day of we did not have a charged microphone, and there were some technical difficulties with the sound system during our dances. It was also not communicated on our end that non-alcoholic beverages were charged @$4/drink. Our wedding party also got their food served to them last, so we had to push back our schedule with speeches. There was also supposed to be a separate table set up for our photographer to eat at, and as we were being served dinner, it was then realized she had no where to sit. These hiccups are minor, but definitely made it so there were some added stresses to the day. Besides the difficulties with communication, we would recommend Charbar for your wedding if you are looking for something that is small and simple, but still modern! I would suggest hiring a coordinator if you do choose to use Charbar, only for the fact that as a young couple who did not know the ins and outs of wedding planning, there were things that were missed through communication that shouldn't have been and a wedding coordinator would be able to avoid this with their knowledge and expertise.“
