I enjoyed my visit to Ship & Anchor Pub, a favorite of my friends in Calgary. This is their go to…read moredowntown lunch stop and I'm glad they took me there too. 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.

Had the wings and taquitos and both were ridiculously good. Perfect tavern food. But the real highlight was witnessing their monster poutine get delivered to another table. This thing looked illegal -- 5 lbs of potatoes, a litre of gravy, and a pound of cheese curds. The whole restaurant turned to look at it like it was a celebrity sighting. Didn't attempt it this time because I enjoy walking unassisted, but maybe next visit. Great food, great vibe, definitely going back.

My first night in Calgary and what a fantastic spot! The warmth of the decor & expansive bar was a…read morewelcome sight. Everyone who worked there was just so nice & personable. The beer options covered every type anyone could ask for. The staff was happy to pour samples to try. A holiday community brew was not only exactly my style, the restaurant donates a percentage of every one sold to a charity. I ordered the Spanish prawns, and with all of the veggies, peppers, & rice had such great fresh flavors and was enough to hit the spot without making me feel stuffed and left room for the spice cake dessert, which was equally delicious. This checks off everything I want in a spot: Great food, drink, atmosphere, & friendly people. Yes, I will be back!

Well, this afternoon. My group of 4 researched some Happy Hour options and thought we would try out The Craft Happy Hour that "is available every day from 2pm to 5pm" according to their website and social media platforms. We considered several different establishments but decided to make the half hour trip to Craft Market Downtown only to be told by our waitress "sorry, we dont have happy hour during Stampede week". Thanks Craft Beer Market for the honesty and effort in earning my trust and loyalty. Next time Barbarella it is!!!

The portions are massive - I got a half an order of Caesar salad and I actually thought they made a mistake bc it was so big!

Ouch. Although this…read moreplace is a tad pricey for the closest "neighborhood bar", typically the pizza (the only item worth re ordering) is a go to. Yesterday (Thursday) was pizza special night. My husband ordered French onion soup to start and his own pizza and I ordered a pizza as well, I also asked for it to be VERY well done. Why? Because typically vegetarian pizzas are soggy with all the veg goodness. AND it's usually perfect when you ask for it this way. Our pizzas come out. I instantly saw mine was NOT well done (the cheese wasn't even brown/crispy. My husbands looked fine. I took closer look at mine and noticed that the dough was also raw. Server came to checkin, i showed her a the raw dough, she profusely apologized and sent it back. It came out again, looking the same way and it felt like it just sat under the heat lamp. Cheese was the same way, everything...including the raw dough. The manager was making his rounds and ended up two booths ahead of us and we could hear him apologizing..lucky me, he came to our booth. I explained the pizza was already sent back once and it came back with the same issue and showed him the problem. I got an "ooook" from the manager. .....and then I said "I'd like this off the bill and taken back please." Without hesitation another "ook" came from him and the pizza was whisked away. Nothing else was exchanged. He could see my husband had a pizza and soup, we had beers... and he offered nothing. Zero. Not only that, no apology. Just ooooook and walked away lol The server came back, we asked for the bill and pizza box. She apologized again and asked if I'd like anything at all. I was over it, and just wanted to leave. I declined and thanked her. She again offered dessert to go. I declined and she apologized again- to which is no fault of her own but I appreciated it. I was super appalled by the managers reaction and zero effort to make our experience better. Both my husband and I come from previous YEARS in the service industry and we were both left speechless by the interaction with him. We've been to Madison's a handful of times and over the years have primarily ordered pizza to go and have never had this kind of issue. Disappointing. We'll spend our money elsewhere.
