“This is hands down my favourite neighbourhood pub. From the moment you walk in, Krista, Sean, and the entire staff make you feel right at home. They are always attentive, kind, and genuinely make you feel valued as a customer, something you do not find everywhere.

The food here is excellent across the board. Their happy hour specials are a steal, and the food specials are always worth coming back for. With two wing nights each week, you cannot go wrong. The wings are always perfectly done and priced right. Honestly, everything on the menu is solid, and it is clear they put effort into consistency and quality. They even have their own local beer, 2515, brewed just for them, which is a must try if you are a beer fan.

The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a neighbourhood pub, warm, welcoming, and lively. Saturday nights with live bands are always a highlight, and if you are into sports, the large TV screens make it a fantastic spot to catch a football game with friends.

All in all, this place strikes the perfect balance between great food, great service, and a laid back but fun vibe. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Whether you are a regular or just stopping in for the first time, you will feel like you belong.“

“Staff & Food FUNstic, sad no delivery ;- ( we'll be there in 20 min. Ray and Terez ;- )“

“Amazing space. Great prices, great people, great shows, great atmosphere, new sound system too. And good pool tables!

I moved here a year ago and this place became my favorite venue for dance nights and metal shows. This is one of my favorite things about Calgary.

Although i do have a suggestion: it would be great if the show posters list the show time as well as the doors time. So, my rating is 4.9 stars. Still love the place ❤
- edit on this: I have been told that the doors and show times on the posters are under the promoter's control, not the venue's, so back to 5 stars for Dickens.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Station is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, the warm atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home. The food was nothing short of spectacular—26—especially the Yorkshire puddings and French onion soup, which were both bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The Yorkies were golden, crispy, and paired perfectly with the rich, savory gravy, while the French onion soup was hands-down the best I’ve ever had, with its perfectly caramelized onions and gooey, melted cheese. Every dish was prepared with care, and the portions were generous. The service was attentive and quick, making the whole experience delightful. I can’t wait to come back for more of their incredible food! Highly recommend The Station to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience.“

“Good staff and service. Becoming a Regular“

“Feels a my bar! Food was amazing: best fish and chips, Horseradish salmon was plate licking delicious.“

“Shout out to Gary and his entire team! Gary makes you feel like family when you come in and his entire team makes you feel welcomed while you visit. Locos will always be a favourite not just after class but moving forward“

“I hate loud clubs and overpacked bars where young people scream incomplete thoughts over the pounding rhythms of Lil' pick an animal...

That being said this place isn't so bad. I've been dragged against my will here several times and didn't even try to climb the walls to escape.

They don't let too many people in, and the big patio gives you a place to go take five deep breaths if you are starting to feel like the bottom lobster in the seafood boil.

I don't want to come back, but if I'm forced to, I will.

That's a compliment.“

“This little hidden gem is exactly that! A little hidden gem! At least to us. We usually will pop in here and there for an afternoon brew and appy and every single time we have been satisfied. The drink specials are great. The food is always amazing and the service is ALWAYS great. Especially love going when Brandy is working during the day however we have been served by the ladies working the evening shift they have always been so friendly and quick. Even when it’s busy these guys got it down to ensure you have a great day/night out. I have never been disappointed coming here for an afternoon and we have been going for 5 years. It’s our go to!!! Thanks so much guys!!“

“Great place to hang out after a long day in the studio. The staff are amazing and friendly, even when it’s obvious that they are incredibly busy. Always a smile and a warm welcome! Thanks for becoming my “go to” wind down place.“

“pretty cool bar, great service.❤️“

“I always have a great time here, the bar staff are wonderful and I always feel like I'm at one big family reunion as everyone just parties together. Love the Karaoke!“

“Loves that they have gluten-free options and specials throughout the week. Half price wine night is awesome.“

“Smaller yet cozy neighborhood pub. Clean inside and friendly staff I've always found. Have some good specials and host karaoke as well during the week. Have been here a few times and never had a bad experience. Not very big space but still good to try out for a drink or two.“

“My wife wanted to hit a pub with live music so i picked this pub from Google maps. No cover charge and plenty of free parking. Live music was awesome from White Willie Brown band. Many friendly patrons & employees with a chill crowd. Wife was happy and we both had a great time! Would return on our next visit to Calgary!“

“I organized a meet-up here recently. The wings were exceptional. My friend's burger was at least a 1/2 lb of meat. They only have Strongbow for cider which tells me whoever is in charge of ordering the liquor is not a cider drinker. They already sell other Village products so how about bringing in Village cider?

Our waitress, Kelli, was very friendly and there are probably regulars who go there partly just because of her. I would not hesitate to return!“

“What a fun place to party!! Great service! Friendly crowd! Reasonable prices.“

“Tuesday night wings are sensational, great for a nightcap. The servers on the weekends are good looking, funny, sexy and have great chat. Usually on Thursdays Fridays and Saturday nights. Check it out. Mans not hot“

“Fabulous atmosphere and food. Went there for Father’s Day dinner and the braised ribs were some of the best that I have ever had, anywhere. 11 out of 10. Kudos.“
