An absolute gem of a "dive" bar…read more I dropped by The Vat yesterday after being away from the city for 5 years - it hasn't changed a lick, and that's a good thing. One of the funkiest live music venues/dive bars I've ever been to, The Vat is funky, eclectic and altogether charming and welcoming. No wonder it's a hit with diverse people ranging from college students to old regulars. I wish I could pick it up and take it with me, up north to Edmonton. The server was friendly, the beer (house draught) was ultra-cheap and cold, and even though there were only a couple of rub-a-dubs around on a Sunday afternoon at 2, it was a blast. Definitely drop by if you've never been. A great way to break up the long drive from Edmonton to Calgary, or vice versa.

Been here a few times for pool league and must say service is friendly and quick. Not much to eat…read morehowever so as someone else noted keep that in mind. Couple pool tables, massive but g screen tv for sporting events, no debit or credit cards accepted but bank machine on premises. I think it's a rustic old school bar (some use the term dive) but it reminds me of the bar I grew up playing pool in. Industry nights on Sunday's are a blast with some good open stage talents. It ain't high brow but I like it plenty ;)

The wings are meaty and seasoned well- a great price especially on Wednesdays: $4 for 8 wings! I rarely have a problem finding a preferred table- I like booths over chairs and low tables over taller ones. Plus, they won Red Deer Wing Fest people's choice award this past summer. The rest of their menu is pretty good too- I'd recommend the Murph's chips both loaded and not loaded. Only real downside is sometimes the karaoke music gets a little loud to have conversations and service is intermittent sometimes, depending on who is your server. All in all, Murph's a great place to go for wings or a drink with friends!

We went into town for some lunch and always willing to try something new (to us) we thought we would check this place out. Arriving at 12:10pm they were just opening. We went inside and waited about 5 minutes for someone who worked there to come out and say hello. They had the cash till out on the counter that anyone could have walked out with at any time. The place was dark, as in, are you open? kinda dark. Someone finally arrived and we ordered a couple of drinks and asked for a menu. Nope. No menu, no food. So we walked away from our drinks and went else where. We won't step foot in this dump ever again. This takes 'dive' to a whole new level that I have never seen before.

Vern's is hideous. I doubt anybody has put any thought into the way this place looks. It's like…read moreeverything was just there when the place was built, and the only reason you replace something is when it's broken and too dirty for the duct tap can stick anymore. It is the bar equivalent to a punk rockers beaten up grungy party basement. So... basically what I'm saying is - VERN'S IS AWESOME!!! I LOVE VERN'S! Love it, or hate it, and trust me it's going to be one of those two, Vern's is pretty much the 'as real as it gets' music bar for the Calgary music scene. This is the place where beginner bands get there first start and where the YYC music big guns love to come back to to pay their respects and feel at home in their first home. Vern's is where it all comes from. Pro-tip: 100% of the cover charge goes to the bands. I hope you'll find that $5 or $10 split between two or more bands is a pretty small price to pay for live entertainment. The beer is cheap, so after five pints of Alberta Genuine Draft, you'll have more than made your money back, and you'll have had a heck of a good time.

Great atmosphere & always super friendly & welcoming waitresses that treat you like family & remember your name, what drank the last time you were in ( I switch it up depending on the time of year) and lots of variety in entertainment. So a paint night, karaoke, or some great Alberta bands she's got you covered. I see a few negative reviews but having a business myself for 25 years, you can't please em all & some you can never please....some were born natural complainers & lots think they can do better....I wish they would open a place so we could see how we'll they do or even last. It's not an easy job & hats off to a powerful woman like Leah for doing it successfully !! I mean how many years is it now ???

Thank you so much for accommodating our group on a wing night for a birthday!…read more I was calling around to places in Airdrie to (fingers crossed) get a reservation on a wing night. I thought maybe restaurants would be taking them in these times of CoVid. No such luck. Until... Enter Bogey's! We had been here once before years ago and I remember liking the wings so I thought I would give my mission one last kick at the can. So glad I did! I spoke to a very nice lady (Hailey) during the day and she told me she would call me back after speaking to her Management Team. Sure enough, she called me 5 minutes later with an affirmative. When we arrived I noticed the pub had been totally renovated from the last time we were there. It still looks like a dive from outside (in a strip mall), but it is totally refurbished inside and looks great. The wings? Every order came out correctly, hot and with enough seasoning and sauce. They have an extensive list of flavours and the wings are huge! The service? Poor gal was on her own serving the entire pub on wing night. She was super friendly and kept everything coming, but she ran her butt off doing it. Better yet, no screaming children in the bar! Thanks again, we found our new place for Wednesday wing night! :-) #supportlocalAirdrie

They have posters for upcoming bands and looks like they host them on a regular basis. They have food specials and I had the steak sandwich daily special. Yep, the steak was fabulous and done perfectly to my usual preference of still mooing. Service was great, place was clean and they obviously have a passion for the Calgary Flames (to my Hub's, an Oilers fan, disappointment!). We will be back 100%.
