Came here with a couple of coworkers on a business trip because it looked like a fun, funky place to grab some food and a beer. Jackpot! Good music, nice bar and beer assortment, variety on the menu and wacky decor. Server was quick and helped us pick out what to try. The "bucket of bacon" appetizer was good, and the right amount for the 3 of us. I tried the traditional poutine and was a little disappointed as I thought it was a bit bland. Not sure if that's just how it is, or this place was a little off. Fun dinner, not expensive. They also have a crazy poutine challenge but our server wasn't clear on what you won if you finished it, so we passed. Fun place to check out if you get the chance! read more

We were looking for a great place to have a cosy lunch as part of the lunch experience as part of my Calgary food experience as i am vistiting the city for the second time of my life. The first thing you notice are the decorations that are all over the place that tells you this is Calgary . We were greeted very promptly by a pleasant gentleman who knew everything that was on the menu. my brother and i shared a buffalo chicken taquitos. i was concerned that this might be too spicy but it was just right . it had flavor but fire was not coming out of your mouth . As for the mains, i had smashburger with 2 patties and got waffle fries while my brother got the mac and cheese. which he says melted in his mouth and might have been the best mac and cheese he has had this year. Another thing make Leopold's stand out as it has tv every where. This is the first place that actually focussed on the Winter Olympics focussing on all the events. for those of you who don't know Calgary hosted the winter olympics in 1988 but you would not know it this week throughout the city. Not one sign or notice to tell you about. That said Leopolds is a place you can go after a long work week, listen to some country tunes watch sports and have a super meal. We may actually come back before i leave to go back to Ontario catch a certain Olympic mens hockey game Canada vs Finland in the semi final. This place is that good . read more

If you are looking for a great restaurant with great food & drinks... That's the place to go!!!! Leopold tavern is pretty cool restaurant with an amazing decoration and amazing customer service. Food there are really tasty and the cocktails are amazing as well. My favourite dish is their poutine, there are three options, but the chicken one is the best!!! Chicken wings were really tasty and the regular Caesar was refreshing and so yummy!!!! I kept ordering these drinks.. Loved my visit at this location, hopefully you will have a great time there as well. Cheers read more

Was able to sit on the patio Saturday around 6:30pm. Wasps were a problem. White wine sangria was not worth it. Very bland. Pulled pork sandwich was 10/10. House salad was good too. Special was dill burger and friend liked his. Dill fries were better than expected too. read more

We had a great time here. Service was great. Food was great. Atmosphere was great. We need more bars like this :-) read more

Came here for Happy Hour, drinks are a steal and very delicious.. unfortunately didn't take a picture of them. This was my second stop for HH but we obviously needed to try poutine in Canada. This is the place to go for all things poutine they offer a weekly special not on the menu and also a variety of different styles on the menu. My husband and I decided to get the BBQ Rancher Poutine with fried chicken (they also have pulled pork option). This was heavy but delicious in a perfect balance of cheese curds and bbq sauce, topped with crispy onions, ooOoOo yeahh! Clean bar, friendly staff, good happy hour- simple and perfect! read more

All I can say is yummy. This is the best poutine I've ever had, I will be having it again. The Mac and cheese was decent, I'm from Wisconsin so I've got high standards when it comes to cheese but overall tasted good. read more

The food was good! The poutine fries really hit the spot. Cheesy was stringy, fries were hot and crisp with the right amount of sauce and chicken! It was pretty loud and busy after the hockey game, but I managed to grab a seat. Service was awesome. They drinks were okay. We had a lime and a spicy mango margarita. They seemed a little too sour. But it was happy hour. read more

Visited Calgary for a few days a stopped here. Ambiance was great & so are the drinks.

This restaurant is all over my feeds in Instagram. Therefore that is how I found how about them. Their menu looked good and their pictures did too. It's a very busy pub! However, we were there right before a Flames game. Therefore, be prepared if you go around 6 before a game you may not get a table. The menu was good. I ordered the wings and a poutine. My poutine was cold..probably sitting for a long time before the server brought it to my table. My husband ordered the donair and enjoyed it. I do think their prices are quite high. My pound of wings were $15. I also ordered a side of poutine and it was $11 which was very steep considering I ordered an entree. Service was good though. A nice pub....my favorite? no...will I come back? maybe. read more

Here's some "Irish Nachos" from Leopold's Tavern (I snuck in a couple tacos as well). Waffle cut fries, banger sausage, cheese curds, beef gravy, pico de gallo and house-made beer cheese sauce. How can you go wrong? Look at that massive cheese curd! Leopold's never messes around when it comes to their poutine (or anything else for that matter). This thing was STACKED and oh so naughty. Leopold's is a perfect casual hangout spot. read more

You open a new restaurant the food is so good, service is bang on, then time passes by and everything starts to go downhill! Why, why, why? Leopold's is not immune. My last visit yesterday was an example of this sad truth. Ordered guacamole and chips. The chips were hot the guacamole bowl half full. My quesadilla took a long time to arrange and was room temperature. Disappointed. read more

I've gotten food a couple of times and have absolutely loved it. The monthly burgers have always been my favourite, especially the churro bites! Amazing place overall read more

Fast service. Great staff. Fun atmosphere on a hockey game night. Good food with the club sandwich.

The vibe is fun and our server was great, but if I'm fully honest the quality of food for the price just didn't match up. Glad we finally got to try things out, but probably won't be back. read more

Outstanding food, I had the clubhouse on marble rye. That sandwich was massive, and not cold cut meat. Service was good. A nice location for lunch. It's a bit of a drive from home but I'll certainly return. read more

Amazing food. We've had both the chicken sandwich and the burger and both were unbelievable. Ordered the nachos today and they are also bang on! Thank you for your food read more

Awesome first experience for my wife and I for our anniversary. Paul was our server and he was great! We just had deserts ( the deep fried cheesecake, Which was awesome!) and Paul kindly said, "On the house, I've got this one for you guys!". What an experience....!!! WE will be back for sure with the kids to smash the big poutine challenge!!! Great service, atmosphere and food. Keep it up! read more

Okay, so when I think of a Canadian bar this is kind of what I had in mind. The bearded men in flannels, to the motorcycle license plates and the rock & roll kind of vibe. My friend and I opted for the smoked oysters bc for some reason he thought they were fresh in a tin. WRONG. LOL. They're exactly what it says it is on the menu. A tin that has been opened up to unveil smoked oysters. Kind of slimey and definitely not for me but still, I tried it and kind of liked it? I'd be brave and order it again! It was served with crackers, cheddar and some hot sauce. For my drink? A whiskey sour girllll. Lots of whiskey and very strong. I wish I had more time to come back and try their burgers bc they looked SOOO good. read more

Our local. And we love it. From the random jukebox to the even randomer decor. We came here for the nachos 5/6 years ago and we keep coming back. We won't kid you. Post-COVID the quality dipped a bit. But it seems of late they are back to their best. I think the prices are a little north of reasonable. We paid $132 (with 20% tip) for 6 pints of Guinness and a plate of Nachos. It was a big plate of Nachos (Lol! I sound very Constanza-"Big Salad"-like there). But $32 for it? Yikes! For all I know this is the norm. We didn't care though. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. In the moment and all that jazz. And we'll go back. Again And Again And Again. Just not every week! read more

When I was pregnant, I was on a quest to find the best poutine in town. This place has it. I love their classic poutine, with the bucket of bacon/maple syrup on the side. read more

If you're in Calgary and you don't get a chance to crush some beers and a tray of nachos at Leo's, you're doing it wrong. Go with the blackened chicken and opt for the guac. Thank me later. read more

I am a not big fan of the service it took way to long for the food. I'm sure it will be better in the future, food was great thogh read more

The old Drum & Monkey is now Leopold's Tavern. I was invited to the friend's & family opening on Friday night after the Flames game and arrived to a pretty packed place. The party had been going on since at least 6:00. There was free drinks for all and a bunch of staff to keep things moving nice and quick. Talking to some of the people I was with, they told me that there's a few Leopold's in Saskatchewan with the name of the bar being the street name that the original tavern is located on. The decor is eclectic. They've covered the walls with cork and there's all sorts of random things stapled to them. Old hockey cards, license plates, flyers and posters from other bygone bars in the area, photos, you name it. There's still some space on the walls for more to come. At the bar they have approximately 10-12 taps flowing with local craft beer. Tool Shed, Banded Peak, Annex, Village, and more were all being served. read more

Worst meal. Ordered from Uber eats. Delivery time says 6:11. Showed up at 6:50. Everything ice cold, half the order missing and the food that did show up was soggy and gross. Won't try this place again! read more

Great appetizers. Lots of craft beer options. Excellent service. Sitting out in outdoor patio on a sunny fall day was delightful! We will be back. read more

Had delivery. Once a mixup was solved, something dragged the food off the porch. Has 2 cheese burgers, no vegetables, 1 with bacon. Both were delicious. Frozen fries were a disappointment but the mac and cheese was yummy. I'd try again but this time do the exchange in person. read more

The best 'dive bar' in the entire Beltline area - Buffalo chicken poutine is next level. Any time I'm meeting up with friends we usually meet here - great location, cheap drinks, great food, incredible staff. I've never had a bad experience here. Will always be back. read more

The donnair is a fucking delight. I highly recommend getting it with tzatziki and garlic mayo. Got coffee with it - weird lunch combo, I know - and our super sweet waitress brewed a fresh pit and brought it out in a cow mug. I loved it and am definitely coming back. read more

UPDATE: had some people over for ThanksGiving weekend and we went back to RE-visit Leopold's. The entire staff, bartender, servers, all turned over & new. NOT so friendly. Don't get why this place gets so much attention... it seriously ain't all dat. read more

Came here for Wings Wednesday. If you order before 4:00 p.m, wings are $3 a pound. Before 5:00pm, $4. Before 6:00 p.m., $5. After 6pm, you pay $6. Not as meaty as Pure Contemporary Vietnamese but fresher and hotter than other pubs by the university and on Stephen Ave (exception being Local). Wing special applies to cauliflower wings too. The cauliflower is heavily battered and cooked to a nice crunch. I enjoyed the buffalo sauce the most, tangy with a nice zip to it. Nachos were good, loaded with cheese and other toppings. Bit pricey- for a small order it was $17 plus +4 for guacamole. The cheeseburger is dense, beefy and juicy. I prefer the yam fries over the regular fries. Place is busy but you can usually find a table. Crowd is a good mix of local workers, office workers and students. Friendly staff. read more

I was really enjoying my time here (great food and great service) until they skipped over my paid for TouchTunes track of my new favorite song "With Arms Wide Open" literally at the chorus :( will be back again But would like to hear the full song read more

Came here for coworkers going away lunch today. There was quite a bit of us and the waitress was really good and checked on our often. I ordered the mushroom burger and the burger was super juicy and had a nice crust on the patty. The burger bun was super soft and homemade as that's what they said in the menu. Would come back and try other things off the menu read more

Super fun atmosphere, very small and tight when there's more than 15 people. I would recommend looking up their instagram account and seeing what their poutine of the week is! We got the thanksgiving poutine and it was very very good! Menu is expensive when your not getting what's on special, and I would avoid getting the fries unless it is in the poutine! read more

An absolutely amazing pub! Not too fancy with all the comfort of feeling like a regular in a neighbourhood pub! The food was absolutely delicious from what we had. Bucket of bacon!!!! And some of the best cauliflower wings in the city I think. The parking at this location leaves a lot to be desired, but that's to be expected for a downtown bar. Overall, an absolutely amazing time. Great beer selection, incredibly friendly staff, and delicious food. Love it :) read more

poor service. pushed throw and did not get a chance to enjoy our food or to order anything else

Great pub to grab a beer before a hockey game! Being a San Jose Sharks fan, wearing jersey, everyone was super friendly and awesome to talk with. Great place read more

I'm Saskatchewan born. I love the Leo's vibe from the spots I've been back home. They captured that same vibe here in Calgary: Small bar, friendly regulars, good food, and excellent staff. I gotta say the bar staff at the Calgary spot is top notch. Jack, Brendan, Dave & Gio make me feel right at home every time I stop in. Large wrap around bar with lots of seats. Food until 2am, lots of local brews on tap. Not your average calgary bar, but a place with lots of heart. Keeps me coming back. read more

just had a poutine which was highly recommend . delivered as suggested will be back for the other poutines and menu items decent beers on tap. something for everyone read more
