Last Best Brewing and Distilling is a warmly rustic and modern establishment in downtown Calgary…read more The historical significance of their name is an interesting story, so be sure to read it. My server was the fantastic Jackie. Down-to-earth friendliness, efficient and helpful. We got along very well. I opted for their Fortunella Gin with Tonic. Fantastic flavors and quite smooth. Two of those and I was feeling fine. For lunch I ordered the Steak Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The salad was substantial and tasty. The steak sandwich had good flavor, but was tougher and fattier than I hoped for. Jackie also offered exceptional assistance with some merchandise I bought as well. My first visit to Last Best will not be my last. Thanks Jackie!

This was our first stop after landing from San Diego and we both enjoyed our visit. It was a…read moreTuesday evening, so the place was a little quiet, but it looked like there was plenty of room for big and small groups. Started with the gyoza and salt & pepper wings. The wings stole the show; they were crispy and flavorful. I asked for a side of their buffalo sauce and LOVED it. I got the chicken sandwich after that. I wish it had a little more sauce, but still enjoyed it. The side of fries were nicely crisped and tasty as well. My partner order the curry rice bowl with tofu. She enjoyed it, and appreciated how much tofu was in the dish. The beer was great too, which was a pleasant surprise coming from the San Diego beer scene. Finally, our waitress was super friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend stopping by.

My caesar salad was a good size portion (the large) but it was just lacking for me. The French fries though, incredible! I didn't drink, but my dad said the beer was "just okay". A nice stop but would try somewhere else next time!

The menu is a bit uninspired though, your typical brewpub food. And while they have a ton of local beers, they don't make any of their own which was kind of surprising.

Wild Rose is a nice brewery with some tasty food. We stopped here a few years back when traveling…read morethrough Calgary and it was a welcome respite from hours on the road. The brewery has a casual and inviting atmosphere and the workers were very nice. We tried an IPA and a raspberry ale and the IPA was better overall than the fruit beer, but we enjoyed them both overall. We had some French onion soup and chips and queso and both were very tasty overall. We didn't get to stay too long since we still had a lot of traveling to do, but we would definitely stop here again when we're in Calgary and we'd recommend it to anyone who's in the area.

What more can I say about the Ship that hasn't already been said. It's not the fanciest, it doesn't…read morehave the best food, it doesn't particularly stand out in any single way... yet somehow it is perfect exactly as it is. It tends to be a "must visit" everytime I come down to Calgary. They have a great beer selection and a classic pub fare food menu with clearly marked vegan and vegetarian options. I highly recommend the pickle pizza! The Ship is a great space to meet with friends and spend hours catching up over beers and boozy eggnog. Keep in mind, it is always going to be busy. There's a good chance you will need to wait for a table but if it's a nice enough day, even in the middle of winter, you can usually find a spot on the patio.

It's a classic pub vibe, with a decor that matches its name, but it's the food that really took me by surprise. The table had a round of Shafts that were quite delicious and I tried their cider on tap. Food wise, they have an astonishing selection of Gluten Free Option, so for once I was able to enjoy appetizers galore. The calamari was tasty as heck. The chicken strips could've used a bit of seasoning, but came with excellent sauces. And well, I have never had a bad tater tot in my life. I'd like to go back and try more here, that's for sure.

I have been to Dandy since I used to Can their beer, 5 years ago, and even then their food and beer menu was OUT OF THIS WORLD! It's a small place, you have seating inside and outside, with fire pits in the winter. They do small batch brewing, and their beer menu has its core line and new brews that are varied and almost experimental at times!! One thing about Dandy, you know that scene in Ratatouille? Where the critic takes a bit of the food and goes back to his childhood. I have had that happen to me at least FOUR times either eating or drinking something for the first time. In total that has happened to me probably 8 times since I moved to Calgary, the other times have all been single experiences at different restaurants. The food menu is a bit pricey, as well as the beer, but you are not paying the jacked up price of another restaurant that is carrying a Dandy product. Skip the middle man and head down, they also have interesting shows or music going on!

I've been in town for a day and a half and it's my third time here. We found it by searching for dog friendly brewery that has a good west coast IPA.

They have burnt ends but you can only order them one day a week. Surprisingly there were quite a few families with younger children. There are lots of large tables so seating for a large group isn't a problem. There are some interesting signs here - one about tipping and another about inequality. Maybe it boosts sales but it sort of seemed like social statements, which I try to avoid when I'm out having a meal.
