    Pig and Duke menu

    Stopped in for a bite and drink during one of the Flames playoff games. We had a couple different draft beers and some appetizers, the pork goyza and chicken wings were great. I think I had a sandwich but can't remember, I was having too much fun. The atmosphere was great and the servers were very friendly. Next time I'm in Calgary I'll be stopping by for some food and beers.

    Wings

    Having a craving for wings, a group of us headed to Pig & Duke. 45 cents for wings on Wednesdays? Steal of a deal! They have a variety of flavours to choose from: sriracha chili, gangnam style, wasabi ranchi, parm truffle and tandoori which were interesting ones I haven't seen anywhere else before. Our food came out relatively quickly, but our drinks, not so much. I'm not sure if our server was having an off day, but it was obvious she didn't wanna be there. The first couple wings were ok, but they were huge (like drumstick sized!) and dry so the novelty wore off. I've heard the parm chips and steak bites are good, so I'd probably try those instead if I decided to give this place another try.

    Pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries. Also shown is a grilled bacon and cheese with sweet potato fries.

    I like to come here when I'm hungover on Sundays. In the fall/winter they do a great breakfast buffet. In the spring (now) they have Canadian Breakfast specials including Toolshed infused syrup and pancakes. Beer breakfast? I think so! A great sports bar that shows a lot of soccer and UFC but will put the TV on any sports you want. Love going here for Flames games.

    Fish and Chips - homemade "crisps" with a truffle oil parm flavoring and such a cool presentation!

    Cool presentation of food (see my Fish & Chips picture) but very mediocure. This place is trying hard but it just isn't quite there yet. Perhaps it will be soon. My wife had a grill cheese apple wood smoked cheddar sandwich and was thoroughly disappointed. The Truffle Oil Chips that can with my fish were lacking in truffle oil and pretty flavorless and greasy and gross. The fish was good however and I'd get it again but just swap the chips for a salad or soup or something. The service was really really slow but may have just been our server. She was quick for the larger tables who were ordering lots of alcohol. Nice atmosphere, pool tables, TVs. Premium drinks - They have Innis & Gunn, Steamwhistle, Strongbow, and Delirium Tremens on tap!

    Well colour me surprised, Pig & Duke, I had no idea how delicious you are! Pig and Duke is a really unassuming pub with a really unassuming name pub name. When you walk in, you'll see exactly what you expect to see - pub bar, pub booths, a few TV's and some servers wearing plaid skirts as is familiar in the hundreds of typical neighbourhood "sports pubs" throughout Calgary. "I know the place" you'll think to yourself as you sit down at a pub table and open the pub beer list expecting to find the same ol' pub domestic brews. As you read through the list, your eyes widen as you realize - you were so wrong! They have 24 taps in this place and they're loaded with the beers (very wobbly) dreams are made of! Other than the monstrous Calgary beer halls, this is the only place I know that carries Dale's Pale Ale from Osker Blues and tap. While, yes I may be swayed by the name of the beer, its one of my favourites and I hope you buy it so they can continue to stock it and I can keep drinking it! Seriously though, so good. Next you'll open the food menu and while they have the pub fare you'd expect they also have some really interesting variations on the theme. Enter The Hammer, my meal for the evening - a kielbasa sausage stuffed with black truffle cheddar, wrapped in smoked bacon. Wrapped. In Bacon.. Wrap your head around that for a second. Looking for a meal that doubles as medal of caveman honour? Feast your eyes on the "The Pig"! This thing is 1 POUND of beef burger with pulled pork, smoked bacon, Canadian bacon, avocado, onion rings, cheddar & grubec swiss cheese. You didn't miscount, they have 2 kinds of bacon on one scary huge burger. 2, my friend. 2. Don't be like me. I made the mistake of never going to the Pig & Duke for the last few years because it looks very ordinary. As it turns out, the reason I avoided to begin with is the reason I will keep coming back. They've got all the food and drinks of Calgary's top beer halls and gastropubs, with a vibe that is unmistakably "neighbourhood pub." That'll do, Pig. That'll do.

    It's brunch-tastic! No, that's terrible. Uh, it's brunch-errific! Also bad. Never mind. It's brunch. Eat it.

    I like brunch. But I hate waiting for a table. And I hate squeezing into tables at brunch restaurants since they're so full. And I hate paying $19 for eggs benny. At Pig & Duke, the hate no longer flows through me like the angry and tumultuous waters of the Amazon in the middle of rainy season. And that's because I can't recall when I last came across a joint that offered such incredible brunch value. Here's the straight goods: I paid $10 for all-you-can-eat brunch that offered: eggs cooked in ham cups; Eggs Benedict; taters; cheese perogies; spring rolls; waffles; all kinds of cut fruit; deli meats of all varieties; cheese platter (including Guinness cheddar!); a selection of vegetables (which I would normally try, but didn't); piles of bacon and sausage. And more. For ten bucks. Are you kidding me? Caesars are $5. As much coffee as I can drink for $3. I stuffed myself with excellent food, added in coffee and a Caesar, and my bill came in at under $20. Whaaaat? No, it's true. Why would I make that up. I mean, I make things up sometimes. This is not one of those things. Trust me. I don't know if you're going to trust a guy who says he makes things up, but in this case, it's in your best interest to do so. I don't know about the whole rest of the week or anything else on the menu. But on Saturday and Sunday morn, you really oughtta go here.

    Went for a friends birthday on a fight night. Table was booked for 6pm and think by 7:30pm the whole place was packed. Assuming this is a regular occurrence. Good selection of draft beers and had Granville Island Winterale on tap - winning! Food wise we shared a bunch of the snacks. Calamari with bacon bits (bacon in everything), was a good size portion but was left in the fryer just a touch too long. Started getting a little chewy. Pork gyoza came with about 6 or more tot he portion. Good thicker soy dipping sauce. Large size gyoza's. Quite tasty. Biscuits and pig sauce (thick gravy) came with 3 large buiscuits to the portion. Little harder round the edges. Felt they may have sat under the heat lamp a little too long. Gravy was 100% fantastic. Thick and flavourful and a good size portion to go with the buiscuits. Wild boar taquitos are amaing! 4 to a plate with sour cream and guacamole on the side. Soft one the outside and packed with ground boar on the inside. These were a clear winner with everyone. Friend had the mac and cheese. Enjoyed it but said it was also a little dry - pretty sure it was the heat lamp again. Looked like they were hosting a christmas party in the back section with buffet service from a hatch area down the end of the bar. The food one the buffet looked quite good when I walked past and nice that they had a little curtain up to make the area a little more private. Feel the aspects of the food that we didn't like were down to the waitresses being so busy running drinks that food sat for a little while. They could do will getting a food runner in for the game/fight nights maybe. Lots of specials everyday. Would like to see how the brunch is. Or just be back on a Monday where the wild boar taquitos are $2 each...

    We arrived for a late lunch and were seated right away on their lovely outdoor patio…read more Unfortunately, service was slow from the start, it took quite a while before anyone even acknowledged us, and for a while, we weren't sure who our server was. Here's what we ordered: Mango boba - surprisingly tart and could've used a bit of sweetness Peanut chicken salad - flavorful and refreshing, with noodles at the bottom Fish tacos with sweet potato fries - the beer-battered fish was crispy and delicious While the food was solid and the patio atmosphere was great, the service really impacted our experience. When we were ready to pay, it was difficult to get our server's attention. My husband eventually had to approach her across the patio, and she processed our payment while standing right there. It seemed like they were short-staffed the day we visited, which might explain the delays, but the lack of attention was still frustrating. Overall, good food and a nice setting, but I'd give it 3.5 stars due to the service issues

Food here is just alright. Fish tacos weren't bad but the fish wasn't crispy at all. The quasedilla "tortilla" was a little thick. The meat in the BBQ rice bowl was pretty good, but the ratio of rice to everything else was too high. The salad was pretty good and quite a large serving. We had A LOT of trouble flagging down our waitress, especially near the end when we were ready to pay, which was quite frustrating and the main reason I'm docking stars. However, I will say the setup outside is really nice. There are hanging plants, pretty large tables, music that's not too loud, and overall a nice vibe. I think for a slow, casual evening out this place will have you covered.

The wine list isn't huge, but what they offer is curated and impressive. We ordered the Wedge Salad and Truffled Arancini. Both arrived about 15 minutes later. The salad was underdressed, and the Arancini, while hot, lacked the tomato sauce that would have elevated the dish. Minor issues, but we moved on. Unfortunately, the main course experience was disappointing. After waiting 45 minutes, our entrees finally arrived--at room temperature. At that point, we were too hungry to send them back and wait another 20 minutes. When we shared our concerns, the staff initially offered complimentary desserts, which felt inadequate given the circumstances. After further discussion, they comped both entrees and provided a $25 gift certificate, which was a fair gesture and appreciated. The GM and Bobby personally apologized and invited us to ask about "little surprises" in the wine cellar next time, which was a nice touch. Overall, great wine and recovery effort, but the kitchen timing and food temperature need serious improvement. Hoping for a better experience next time because the potential is there.

I followed the more than 48 hour rule to cancel the room without penalty and was told that its was during their blackout period and should have read the fine print. I'm really not even sure if that is legal. The hotel takes the full amount of the charge for the room at the time of booking, not at the time of check in and keeps the money regardless of when you cancel if it falls "in their black out period" that is not clearly identified when booking those dates. You better not have plans change or have a family emergency! RIP OFF. Buyer beware, do not book.
