“had a great experience, place was busy which is always a good sign. staff were super nice, food was excellent. will definitely go again.“

“Have only ordered take out but the food is always amazing, value for the portions are great and arrives quickly. One feedback though: Please add Extra Fries as an add-on option to your Skip the Dishes menu! Your fries are delicious and I always want to order extra, but don't need to have a second entree, would happily pay extra as an add-on though!“

“Best Black and Tan in Calgary! Give this pub a try for yourself and your friends. After an exhaustive search, our team has been coming here every Wednesday for over 2 years. Good food. Exceptional service...especially by Jessica and Stacey.“

“I love this place. Reminds me 100% of the Dublin Pub in Surrey BC that I went to for years. This place has a great vibe and spectacular food. We just missed happy hour but the menu for happy hour is awesome. This is my first time here. My son comes all the time. Looking forward to the all you can eat ribs. “I’ll be back”“

“Just did take out for the 1st time. We'll be doing it again. Stellar food. Caesar & lasagna. Thank you.“

“The food is EXCELLENT!!!!!“

“I called in on a Monday to see if they still had the Srirachi Lime wing flavour, as it used to be a favourite of mine and a favourite of the group that I would go there with. Unfortunately, during the Sriracha shortage a little while back, they had removed it from the menu. When I called, the owner was the one who answered and she simply asked me when my group and I were planning on coming in. I told her we would be in on Wednesday for wing night, however, it’s not a big deal that you don’t have that wing flavour on the menu. We showed up Wednesday evening and I happened to mention the conversation I had had with the owner a few days back to our waitress, and right away she said, “you’re the Sriracha Lime group! We’ve been waiting for you!” Sure enough, the owner had the chef whip up a batch of Sriracha Lime wing sauce specially for us! On top of that, we received phenomenal service from our waitress Brianna! 10 out of 10 would recommend this pub for its food, as well as the service!“

“Everything, friendly staff and good selection of beer!“

“Chuck and Helen (?) friendly and helpful. chicken wings thur special...plump...crisp...deelish.... will return. make the time to seek them out in Ogden.“

“Had a great time $5 Beers went down well“

“I went for my usual Chloe puri with a little twist.
The twist: i call it a stroke of genius from the artist(chef) Sanjaye. I substituted the raw onion with a cucumber salad. Recommended by the person behind the counter.
Small portion of Cucumber with shredded carrots few pieces of tomato and lettuce. Vinaigrette: olive oil, salt, cinnamon, a touch of vinegar with raw Thai pepper
Best combination with chole to cools everything down after some spicy food.

Try it!!“

“Fun patio and fantastic service!“

“I really enjoy their wings. I felt bad for the 1 waitress that was doing literally everything at the restaurant. She was waiting tables, serving food, clearing tables and even bartending....while another employee sat in the restaurant with his friends and did nothing to help! She was frustrated, but kept a smile on her face.“

“Best place ever! Don’t Miss out on having a great time here! You won’t regret it !“

“Amazing staff and vibe. excellent food aswell. 5 stars“

“I came in for a birthday party impromptu and consequently forgot my wallet (including ID) at home, and despite not actually being able to stay and enjoy the place due to my mistake, it seemed a cool vibe. The best part was the friendly blonde with a wicked tattoo was immensely kind and gracious with me, apologetic even though it was 110% my fault for being forgetful. This tells me it’s a great spot to go for a chill atmosphere and amazing service, just from a 5 minute experience. I recommend supporting!!“

“I love this place, great staff and great food ❤️“

“Considering the current restrictions the staff were absolutely fantastic. So sorry you have to closing even OUTDOOR dining ugh“

“First time I visited Dickens was in 2009 for Sunday boardgames when I was new to Calgary. Later I picked up photography and got onto guest list of local musicians a few times. This Halloween 2024 I moved into a condo in DT, with all my friends are either married or moved on from music, I visited again Dickens alone. The demographics hasn't changed change; the venue hasn't changed - there are geeks there are music lovers there are dorks. The LGBT friendliness is to a point that no one cares what and who you are. This place really has nothing special at all. It's always the people who make this place worth a visit even for a stranger.“

“Friday night karaoke SO FUN!!“

“Decent food, slower than average service given the amount if staff and lack of business at the time. Granted this was earlier in the day and middle of the week, I'm sure they're much more attentive during peak hours and weekends.“

“Should add similarly more option for non alcoholic beverages as alcohol ones to get wider range of customers. Screaming spicy wings are for real screaming spicy do not play to eat if you are not ready for it chipotle mango wings should come with sides of some gravy or dip without asking sweet chilly wings are now my all time favourite mimosa is a medicine i hated that badly because it was at the level of unexpectedly sour. Very old school atmosphere should have added the pool to the venue to get more customers or some other fun games which will create memories for customers and bring them back to the well. Overview- Clean easy to order good food surrounding and customer service.“

“Great wings & friendly service!“

“I wish I could remember our servers name, that served us out on the patio. She was a perfect mix of knowledge, sass, and was a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. The food was spot on, Pints were cold and refreshing, but she would deffs be the reason to return. 2 thumbs up for the "Rhinestone Roster" comment.“

“One of the most fun places in the city! Great Food, Great Service, Great Staff, Great Bands, and in general Great Fun! Best Behavior Highly Recommended! This is a great fun safe place to listen to fantastic bands and dance the night away!“

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

“Best pub in town..great people,good food and best service..highly recommended“

“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.“

“Great service!! Staff is wonderful!“

“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!“

“my first time here on Sundays to watch NFL great job!!! 19 big tvs, volume on game and one again great specials unlike some bars where the volume on the game goes to thumping rap music every commercial ill be back!!!“

“Great food great atmosphere something for everyone every night!“

“Awesome people, both staff and clientele. Great food and drinks! What more can you ask for? Live music too!“

“I would give this place - 5 star review 100x over. We have picked up pizza here several times and had them cater multiple bday events (10-16 pizzas) - not only has the quality and service been truly excellent each time, the staff really goes above and beyond. The last large order we did they had us pull right up to their main doors and their staff loaded all 16 pizzas in the vehicle for us. Our fav pizza place in the city!“

“Excellent server Rhea recommended the beef dip …she explained it came with cheese … Hubby ordered it as is and I ordered it without cheese … they were awesome ! bun was perfect, full of meat and horseradish mayo… jus was not too salty … fries were thin , crispy and yet soft and flavourful inside. The wine was pricey but excellent. Atmosphere was awesome … bar was all lit up but we sat by the cozy fireplace…. there was a quiet space in back where we have met with family for nachos … love this pub.“

“Great service!! Friendly staff“
