Happy hour menu and menu in general not as extensive or good as the 10 Ave location.
The food was great, and the service was friendly. We had a wonderful experience. We'll definitely come back here.
We attended a private event and nobody served us. When we approached the bar they took our order and got us our food and drinks.

National on 8th in Calgary is a lively spot that is often packed, creating a chill but vibrant atmosphere, perfect for outings with friends or unwinding after work. While the chicken wings are decent, they are 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; some guests experience delays or slow acknowledgment, but there are also outstanding servers who provide attentive and friendly service, making visits memorable. Guests have praised the staff as super welcoming, and it's clear the team cares about creating a good experience. 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, especially with events like the Tres Beaches party, where the organization and friendly hosts enhance the experience.
