    a row of pinball machines in a game room
    Jaden B.

    This place is so cool! It in a great location being right on 17th and 4th street. There are many different pinball machines with my favourite being the wizard of oz machine. As well, they have a DJ sometimes such as on Saturday when I went playing totally retro music so it was super awesome! They also had $5 pints of steam whistle on special on Saturdays which is a great deal! Love it here!

    We had so much fun here! We went for my boyfriends birthday and it was awesome to do something a bit different. The food wasn't amazing but that's okay because their drinks were delicious (on the expensive side but pretty average for downtown Calgary) and the games were so fun! Each machine is uniquely interactive and one even had a surprise selfie mode haha. Overall a great environment. The layout is great so you can have a table to eat/chat at with your group and leave your jackets at when you go to play the games. Bring loonies and toonies to play! They do exchange cash for these as well. (Toonies get you the best bang for your buck). The staff was very friendly and kept our drinks filled all night and didn't rush us to leave. Definitely will be going back!! Would recommend :) - the Star Wars machine was our groups favourite!

    Great atmosphere, delicious food and interesting cocktails. Everything you'd think a pinball bar would be. Awesome addition to the local YYC entertainment scene.

    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.

    We visited last night and started off on a high note with an excellent wine selection. The…read moresommelier, Bobby, was fantastic--knowledgeable and personable. 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.
