National on 8th in Calgary is a lively spot that is often packed, which can make it noisy and lead to slower service, especially when it's time to pay the bill. The chicken wings are decent, but not extraordinary. Wine lovers may find the selection limited, and beer fans might be disappointed if they're after a specific brew, as the restaurant didn't have the one they wanted. Despite these minor drawbacks, it's a vibrant place with an interesting interior. The rooftop happy hour offers a nice outdoor setting with games and a good selection of local beers, though the views are limited. On Sundays, the restaurant hosts an end-of-summer party with an amazing DJ playing enjoyable music. Service can vary, with some guests experiencing delays or slow acknowledgment, but there are also outstanding servers who provide attentive and friendly service, making visits memorable. The food received mixed reviews, with some items like sliders being dry, but drinks and service often stand out as exceptional. Overall, it remains a popular destination for a fun and lively atmosphere.
