Wonderful lunch experience. Our server Grace F was fantastic. Food was delicious, had the lettuce wraps. Overall atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice. Staff was all very friendly. read more

Food was great and service was excellent Enjoyed the vibe. Brought the wrong dish, but corrected things quickly

Food is excellent, good prices and a great selection of beers. Loved the decor, very unique. Service was on point and attentive.

We like to go to craft on Sundays because it's all day Happy Hour. We had the 3 pulled pork tacos to start. They were dried out. We tried 4 entrees. The AC burger and the classic burger. We had the dry rub ribs$23 and the Cali bowl which usually is my favorite. The burgers seemed much smaller and the Cali bowl was very average. It seemed to lack in portion. They changed the dressing and no longer have the lemon tarragon. The kids burger was a little smaller as well. My 7 year old was still hungry after. Service was friendly jut absent at times. With so many resturants around We aren't rushing back. read more

I love Craft's Happy Hour: cheap, local beers and interesting snacks. On a recent visit, I enjoyed some awesome citrus-y beers and shared a cheap appie of some cauliflower bites.The beer was quickly served and cold and the bites were hot, lightly spicy, and came with a fun lime crema. However, the highlight of this visit (and my purpose for going) was to try their "20 napkin burger". It's not enough that it's a 4 patty burger. It's not enough that it's topped with bacon. It's not even enough that it's topped with beef brisket. The "piece de resistance" is the burgers garnish: an entire beef slider. The beef patties were a bit overcooked and dry, but it didn't take away from the experience. Warning: unless you have a giant appetite, share this with a friend. The burger is so overloaded that it's a knife and fork burger anyway, so plan to portion! Note that this location gets busy on the weekends, being in the suburbs. However, it's a big restaurant, so the wait for a table to open up is never too long. read more

first time here. service was good. a slight wait but it was fairly busy. excellent food and ambiance. my son enjoyed the Mac and cheese.

Monday May 21st, 2018 As a result of the previous review I wrote regarding my visit to Craft Beer Market. The manager contacted me and asked me to give it another try. I came here today with my family, we were a group of 5 to see if it would be different. We ordered cedars to drink, white sangria and flights of beer which were local and a good deal- $9 for 23 ounces instead of $12. We got the barrel of nachos which looks deceiving because of how it is served but is still quite a bit. However, the nachos were not served t our liking such as on the menu it says tomatoes, onions, peppers, etc all comes on the nachos and for some reason it all came in a bowl on the side instead of on the nachos or being baked on the nachos. I don't know if they always do this but then we just dumped it all on. Other than that the nachos were good. We also got the fast-food sushi which is interesting. The patio outside is amazing. My rating now moved from 1 star to 3. March 26th, 2018 I had been wanting to try this place for a while because I live in the Deep South and the closest craft is downtown which sometimes is not the easiest to get to. I was happy when this place opened a while back but I wasn't able to try it u til now because I was hearing it was so hard to get into with long wait times etc. Finally my friends and I decided to go on a Friday at 3:00pm. There was 9 of us so we got arable for 8 (with 4 chairs on each side and put one at the end). Eventually most of us decided to leave (to be specific 3 of us left so there was 5 of us left at the table). We decided that we would all pay our tabs at the same time to make it easier on the waiter and the 5 of us who were staying also ordered one more beer and just told the waiter to add it to the bill so that we wouldn't have a beer to or bill to pay later. He said that was fine and did it. After our 3 friends left and there were 5 of us left the acting supervisor or manager. Came over to our table and asked us to leave ...? We were sitting there talking to each other and had no idea why she would ask us to leave? She said we had our bills in our hand so assumed we paid. We said that we did but we had our another beer on our tab and we're waiting for it to come. She was very upset and said that she had to. Heck with the waiter to make sure and sure enough she checked with him and he said that yes we had one more round coming. She told us this was unacceptable for five people to take up a table for 8 people because she had a huge waitlist of people that needed seating. Well that's not our fault. She made us very uncomfortable especially after 9 of us just being there had a huge bill. They have officially lost our business as a result of this. read more

First time to Craft Beer at South Centre and experience very similar to the downtown location. Very lively bar with loud music and lots noise. Haha. Huge and I mean huge beer selection. Food menu is equally impressive. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Lots of seats and booths (bonus). Great place to go with friends for a night out. Overall pricing is fantastic and can't go wrong with Beer Craft. read more

I had a great time here the other night. I won a couple of passes for their grand opening celebration. Walking in I was greeted by a couple of ladies who explained how the event worked and gave me a couple of tokens redeemable for any drink under $10 (no beer floats, sad face). They had food stations setup throughout the restaurant so you could fill up small plates of samples to get a taste of their menu. The event was self seating so at larger tables you had to cuddle up to strangers. This was fun though as my brother and I ended up sitting beside a 60-ish year old couple from Texas and chatted for an hour about beer...and Trump of course. Craft had a ton of staff working. Our server was right on things with keeping our glasses full and getting us some of the food we ordered off the menu. There was a little bit of confusion with the runners bringing the beers out to the tables as when you have a few different groups at a large table it's hard to tell who ordered what. But they did a great job nonetheless. I gave the fried pickles and wings a try. The pickles were great as well as the wings. For the wings they keep it simple, you get a choice of salt & pepper or hot. The space itself is pretty large with two levels and a small patio out front. The front of the building out to the patio is wide open with tall windows so even if you're not right out on the patio you can still get a breeze and the sunshine. Upstairs there's tons of TV's to watch the game and the kitchen is also located there. It's open to the dining area so you can watch everyone's meals being prepared. So many great things to talk about and I haven't even talked about the BEER yet! They have around 100 on tap and they're all craft selections (duh!). They're not only just craft, but the majority of the selection is local within Alberta. They do have some some great options from elsewhere too like Jerkface 9000 (Vancouver) and The Dutchess (Belgium). Great to see Craft opening a second location in Calgary finally and it's awesome to have something like this at the south end of the city so I don't have to go downtown to enjoy some awesome craft beer. read more

Nice service and great selection of local beers. It is also family friendly so I brought the little guy! Thanks Ella

I have been here twice this week, mixed experiences. Monday burger was good but we were sat next to the doorway and stairs servers use and had to listen to them yelling corner nonstop. Today 3 of us had the fish tacos and they looked great but were lacking fish!! The other 2 meals were good, korean chicken wraps and a beef dish. Room is nice, service just ok. Beer cold and plenty of choices. All in all it's mall food. read more

I was visiting Calgary and stumbled across this restaurant at the South Centre Mall. Excellent food and friendly staff. I had the Mediterranean Salad and had the Mezze Platter on another visit ... both were excellent and very different. Must eat there and if you like beer they have a lot on tap. There's wine and a full bar also. They allow minors also until later in the evening. read more

Absolutely LOVE Craft Southcenter. The food is consistently great, the rotating beer menu always has something interesting. But it's the fantastic staff that put it as my go to place, always accommodating, friendly and full of knowledgeable beer suggestions. read more

Tonight Chef Ashley and the girl at the front closing (I wish I got her name) went above and beyond with exceptional 5 star customer service I am thrilled!! DoorDash cancelled my order last minute before the restaurant closed and the girls handled the problem..Chef Ashley Drove my order to my house so that I wasn't left high and dry.. and hungry!! Thank you so much ladies you are truly wonderful and I will be back. read more

It was my first time trying this place out. The food was decent and we had a lovely server. That's where the 3 stars go. Unfortunately I took 2 stars off because they didn't charge us for the Happy Hour pricing. I called a couple days ago when I saw the discrepancy in my bank statement- the night manager told me that I'd need to come back and I'll be taken care of, thinking they'd fix it right there and then. The night manager told me that when he said they'll take care of us next time I visit TO EAT- maybe give us Happy Hour pricing then, I don't know. So now I have to come back there, eat, AND then get my money's worth. I honestly never thought eating out would seem like a job. read more

This place can get very busy so I do recommend making resos. We ended up sitting at the bar as there was a wait but still having a great experience. The server was great and went out of his way to answer my questions about the menu. The ambiance was very lively but we could still have a conversation. The food was pretty good. I loved my appetizers. The pasta was okay. I tried the butternut squash ravioli which was a bit ho hum. read more

Holy moly this place was hopping when we stopped by. I was looking forward to another CRAFT opening in the south closer to my place, we stopped by during the rush of holiday shopping and since CRAFT is in Southcentre Mall it makes sense things were busy, they'll text you when the table is ready though so you don't have to just hover at the entrance. Great long list of beer to choose from and the same menu as the downtown location. We ordered fish tacos and a crispy chicken sandwich, both were great. Our server was also very friendly and chatty, when we're in the area or shopping we'd definitely stop in again. read more

Had a great experience here. Excellent service. We sat at the bar while we waited for our table and were very impressed by the selection of beers. The bar tender was helpful and friendly too. We ordered wings which were good but nothing special. Our meals were fantastic though and the service was great. Only complaint was that the music was quite loud so it was a bit hard to talk. read more

CRAFT Beer Market Southcentre - Haging with my beat pal! - Beer Bar Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I'm a fan of this new location! Love the atmosphere and decor. Staff have been great on my two visits. On one occasion I had lunch (butternut squash ravioli), my mouth is watering just thinking about it. It's nice that Southcentre now has a nice sit down restaurant conveniently located attached to the mall (entrance is from outside). The only disappointment is that you cannot make a reservation after 5pm on a weekend. We had wanted to plan my 35th here, but we went elsewhere so we could reserve at 7pm. read more

I've been waiting for this location to open for like ever. They allow children in here as long as you get in before 9 p.m. I was here this Tuesday evening just after 5 p.m. The place was already busy with a 15 min. wait. Tonight they had fish tacos on sale for $3 each. They should call them soft tacos with hide and go seek fish. At our table my boys had a flatbread pizza, and a classic burger. I ordered one as well. My burger meat was a bit chewy, but my son said his was alright. I ordered mine with a mixed green salad, my son had the kale Caesar salad. They had a mix up and mine came out with soup. The waitress was quick in correcting the mix up. I asked for ketchup to put on my burger, and it never did show up. I was disappointed since I really like ketchup. Oh well, I had high hopes for this and was unfortunately let down. Sorry but don't think I'll be back, at least for burgers. On a side note, the kitchen is located upstairs. I guess that's why my ketchup never showed up. The waitress said it had to come from upstairs lol. The waitress was friendly enough, but the person that seated us looked less than thrilled about her job. read more

20 min wait and I counted 7 tables open?? Very understaffed, like 12 groups waiting to be seated. The upstairs was completely empty. If I was an owner, watching people leave my eatery because there are many seats open?? I would lose my mind!! 5 groups left and we still waited. I understand when the place is full, it's my choice to wait, but open seating just sitting there begging me to spend money?? Fail! It's a new place, lots of choices out there craft!! Home of the $17.50 hamburger. Prices are very high for a pub. $8 for a beer!! read more

Horrible service! WAITED ON THE WAITLIST FOR ACTUAL HOURS! Absolutely no info about our seating situation! Will never be eating here again!

Never in my life have I had such poor service. It took twenty minutes to take our drink order, then another twenty to flag down a server to order food, the main purpose of our visit. The food was fine, but by the time we realized no one had come to ask how everything was, or if we wanted another drink, our bill, anything else at all, I was hungry enough for my next meal. In fact, if I had waited any longer to get up and demand service, I could have been placed in a sarcophagus for my final resting place, mummified. An absolute disgrace to bars and restaurants everywhere. read more

Oh CRAFT, I can't believe it has come to this...with the beautiful Saturday presenting my friend and I, we decided to relax and take our minds off our busy work lives. With a recommendation to visit craft, we were excited to see how it upheld. Unfortunately, we were hit with a horrid experience to say the least. We entered this location at 9:45pm and we're weary if we'd get a table or not. GHOST town. But that's okay, we thought that would allow for better service. Immediately as we walked through the doors, the host was on her phone. Not a great greeting and this should be followed up by a manager. Finally when she noticed us, we were seated at our table. After scanning the QR code menu to see what food and drinks were like, we decided on a Shaft and a blackberry mojito. After waiting 10 minutes to be finally greeted by our server, we got to order the drinks mentioned. He swiftly RAN away without asking if we wanted to order some food. I don't know who is training the staff, but there needs to be follow up conversations with the staff. Focus on immediate greet times so we feel appreciated and welcomed. 10 minutes to be greeted is unacceptable. Our servers name is "Brock P". Besides the late greet, we decided to still give it a chance. Although, we still were given a poor experience. The "DJ" was wearing a mask not covering his nose, and was EATING A CHICKEN WING whilst on their phone. Excuse me?????? How dare an "employee" be lounging around like that in-front of guests. So to just recap, already we've had a horrible greet by the host on her phone, immediately followed by no greet for 10 minutes by the server and an employee shoving a chicken wing down their throat. I don't feel like I should continue pointing out the little flaws that occurred, But I will sum up the rest of the experience. Slow service, server rarely came over to our table and quality checked once which I surprised by as I thought he didn't even know how to do that much. Food was bearable which gave this score of 1 stars. Don't really recommend coming here!! read more

We had the Mucho Chicken Flatbread and the Thai Salad. Both were fantastic! Our server, Bri, was excellent. Drinks were refilled promptly. Food can quickly. Then to top it off we had the Dessert in a Jar. That was so yummy too. The atmosphere had a fun vibe. What more can you ask for? Highly recommend. read more

Jordan and Connor did amazing! They were so fun and kind, and our wings were perfect. Thanks craft :)

This is absolutely the worst restaurant I've ever been to! So sad as Calgary has so many amazing places to eat! When we walked in the host had his back to us- I finally had to say in a loud voice hello to get him to turn around. The waitress was terrible- bored and disinterested. The food came cold and was mediocre at best. Save your hard earned money and check out one of Calgary's tried and true amazing places to dine. Would never ever go back! read more

Food was okay, very salty. My steak was over cooked and my beer was warm but I could not find our waitress to tell her. Normally we love it at CRAFT but it has been steadily going down hill. It be a while before we go back, if ever. read more

So Craft is a lot of wonderful descriptive words but quiet isn't one of them. Craft has an interesting venue with stimulating decor, excellent food and a huge selection of brews. There is a reason as to why this establishment is so busy. And I have listed all of them. Now, to tell you about my experience. I wanted to make a reso on a Friday evening. Now they do not accept reservations after 4:45 on the weekend. The only reason I needed one was because my mom is in a wheelchair and needs a table that is of regular height. There were also 6 of us. Anyway, I spoke to the manager and she was so great about my request: she did say that she'd put a note in for the hostess to ensure there'd be a table for us. By golly, when we rolled in there at 5:30 they took us to a table immediately. What a relief and how happy I felt knowing that there wouldn't be a problem having my mom enjoy such a venue. Our server was professional, courteous and gracious. The place was bustling and the kitchen was reflective of how busy Craft was at that time. Now, a word to the wise, if you want to go there for a pint or a glass and enjoy a meal chatting about the meaning of life, this is not the place on a Friday night. Don't even try. The music is super loud over the high quality Bose speakers and there are no sound absorbers for the "over the music" loud talking that surrounds you. That is the only complaint I have of the place. Other than that, I will be back; maybe on an early Sunday afternoon or a Tuesday afternoon because the food is excellent and the atmosphere is hip. read more

Had a fantastic get together with friends here, great atmosphere. The only thing is that the music was way way too loud, it was hard to carry on a conversation. I would go back though, fantastic selection of craft beer read more

Disappointing experience at Craft Southcentre. I would have liked to give this place a chance but it wasn't in the cards. I sent the email below to the GM of Craft Southcentre and received a very lukewarm superficial email back saying: "Thank you for your feedback, and as I mentioned, I will be sharing your comments with the hostess and management team as a coaching moment to learn and enhance their opportunities for development. I do hope you have a great rest of your week". Long story short, the general manager could have said lets try again and we'll have a table ready for you and your guests. I guess they have enough customers and aren't interested in new ones.. Disappointing experience from hostess at Craft Southcentre to the point that we left. We (party of four) arrived at the Craft Southcentre location Friday November 8th at 5:15pm and asked for a table for four. We were advised there would be a wait of 45min yet there were empty tables. We asked the hostess about the empty tables and her response was they were reserved for 6pm. So the table was going to sit empty for 45mins?? We saw other empty tables and asked about those empty tables and received the same response (they were reserved) It seemed there were multiple tables sitting empty waiting for a reservation later that evening. I suggested to the hostess that maybe she could seat us at an empty table and when another frees up in 45mins the reservation could be seated there when they arrive. She wasn't interested in this option and kept telling us we should have made reservations. I don't understand how there could be multiple tables held for reservations at a bar/pub on a Friday evening for 45mins. Most places of similar environment will do a first come first served concept. Not sure we will ever try and come back to Craft because there are many other similar places in south Calgary with less attitude and don't leave tables empty for long periods. read more

They never disappoint!! Great beer selection great menu items and great service. The rotating beers are always fun to try. Kid friendly - call for hours. read more

We live in the neighborhood so were excited to see Craft set up shop nearby. We initially tried to eat here a few weeks ago, but were turned away at the front desk due to a private party (no signage on the outside to specify that). So we gave it some time. We tried it out tonight and it was pretty good. What with the place being packed and really loud music, we didn't get to kick back, relax, and chat because we couldn't hear each other (and we're not even deaf, go figure!). I had the crispy chicken sandwich and thought it was awesome. My fella had the Classic burger and thought it was "just ok." We started with the fried pickles, which didn't disappoint. Our server was really kind and quick, and we didn't have to wait long for anything at all. She was fantastic. The food was good, but I don't think I'll make this a regular haunt because having to yell to have a chit chat is exhausting on a night out after a long day. I will say though, for being a new spot, they're doing well overall. read more

Happy to see a "non-major-chain" restaurant open in South Calgary. Nice to be able to drive 5 minutes from home rather than 20 to get down to the Beltline. The food was pretty good, although the wings were not meaty enough. The beer selection is always great, so you can't go wrong there. Will be back! read more

Sat up at the bar during a super busy time. It was dinner rush on a Friday. There was about 15 minutes left of happy hour and our bartenders were super efficient and made sure we got our drinks and appies before it ended. Awesome service. Good beer. Good appies. read more
