"We have visited twice in the past week"
"This place was going to get a four but they share a kitchen with a Denny's and still managed to knock dinner out of the park"
"Ordered from here via skip the dishes and I am really disapoointed in the quality of the food received and surprised by the packaging"
"We came in on a very quiet hockey night, before the sports fans, and our server, Hailey M"
"Our server Kristin delivered exceptional service that elevated our dining experience to a whole new level"
We have visited twice in the past week. Our first visit was Aug 1st just before closing. We had excellent service and the woman working was incredibly kind and the food was fantastic. We returned for the Taco and Corona special On Aug 3rd at 4:30 and the waitress working was absolutely horrible. The tacos were a dry piece of breaded chicken and a pile of plain cabbage. It was next to impossible to get the waitress’s attention to order something new. When I finally did, she said “you didn’t like the tacos”. Just a comment, she didn’t ask what was wrong, we just felt like an inconvenience. She was cold and barely even spoke to us. We felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave.
This place was going to get a four but they share a kitchen with a Denny's and still managed to knock dinner out of the park. Sure the place is cliche and the menu predictable, but everywhere is now. Sometimes you just want to go to Dennys without admitting it, and this place is perfect for that. But! The presentation is upscale, the music is better but not too loud, and they have beer and drinks with No screaming children! Steak was perfect rare. Thai bites very crispy, same old Thai sauce but damn the cook on the chicken just worked. New cheap beer spot confirmed.
Ordered from here via skip the dishes and I am really disapoointed in the quality of the food received and surprised by the packaging. Their website and prices make it look like they are a decent restaurant but what you receive is no better than what you would get at a Denny's except you are paying more. I use Denny's specifically because that is whose logo was on all of the packaging. Paid an extra 3.50 for a ceaser salad side and got a container that was half full of wilted lettuce, and cheddar cheese? Save yourself some money and just go to Denny's.
We came in on a very quiet hockey night, before the sports fans, and our server, Hailey M. was an absolute delight! She accommodated us (at our request) by changing the channel from Sports to Nature while we were waiting for our meal. She is a lovely commodity to this establishment and is excellent in her position! The food was also absolutely amazing! This is really, very much, a hidden gem that we personally would like to keep to ourselves!
Our server Kristin delivered exceptional service that elevated our dining experience to a whole new level. Her warm hospitality, menu knowledge and attention to detail. She truly made our day memorable and we look forward to returning to this establishment.

Food is average, menu appears high end but falls a little short since it’s out of the Denny’s kitchen. Service is friendly. Atmosphere is lacking. This bar has a lot of potential that’s going unfulfilled. Could be a really rocking hotel bar, but sadly it’s not. Food and drink prices are insanely low compared to many other venues in the city.

This place is an ABSOLUTE hidden gem in Calgary! I stayed at the hotel attached for 3 months and it was awesome, the staff (Brad and Hailey) are such awesome down to earth people, this place felt like home. Awesome service, great food (highly recommend the tacos!!) and all around great environment. 7/5 stars. Enjoy …
We went to Bar One for a late dinner and a few drinks, nice atmosphere and great service. We had the pleasure of being served by a young gal by the name of Hailey, wonderful service, a genuine interest in her clients and a great smile. Thank-you for making a long day great with fantastic service and a great attitude.
Went there with my daughter and our cousin after an evening of indoor climbing close by. Weren't sure about the ratings, but tried it anyway. It was quiet, the food was amazing, we enjoyed some of the appie hour dishes and a couple others off the menu. The staff were very friendly. Definitely would return again.
We were staying at the hotel in our travels from Alaska and were too worn out to go find another place. We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Awesome chicken pot pie. Good selection of local beers too. Brooke, the manager was super friendly and knowledgeable. Overall it was a great experience
Hello Fanny, the infamous Fanny. Thank you from my husband and myself for being a highlight of our evening out for our 11th wedding anniversary. It was a pleasure to meet you. Please everyone, run do not walk to Bar One to satisfy your appetites. You will not regret it. Love, Val and Mark
Great place to grab a couple drinks and food on a Friday night! Service was AMAZING! We were waited on by a server named Brooke and she was very professional. Would definitely recommend the thai chicken bites if you love spice! 10/10 must visit on your way through Calgary!
Bar One is a great environment and awesome service. The bartender Fanny was a great conversation and helped me ease the fact I was away from home. The service was excellent and food was severed in a timely manner and drinks cold. Cheers Bar One! Til the next time.
We were there on last Friday and the server was really friendly and amazing. I believe her name is Fenny. She made sure we liked the food and also she checked back to make sure if the drinks were good enough. Service was way over our expectation
Came into bar one today and was greeted by Kristin. She was amazing and very knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant is very clean and overall a great environment, awesome music aswell. I felt very welcomed and will definitely be returning!
Place was great, air conditioner works and dont forget to tip the server Kalyn. She was more than just a great server she has a really great vibe and not to mention that lovely smile, the type of attitude that can really help a company thrive.
Ordered online an Ultimate Cobb Salad which includes prime rib among its ingredients, but it did not arrive with my order. When I tried to contact them to complain, I got a message saying the restaurant is not taking phone calls. Wasted money
Slow service and food was horrible. It looks like they used frozen pre made food. I ordered Fish & Chips and the fish was really dry and it seems they served McCain fries. Horrible, we paid for someone to cook us pre made frozen food.
Hidden Gem! Great for a pint and some munchies after a good ride at COP. Service was quick and courteous. Food was a great bang for the buck. Good choice of dishes and appies! Limited beer selection but had a decent brands on tap.
Incredible food, amazing service, lovely atmosphere! Our waiter Fanny made me and my friend's outing memorable. Her attention to every need before it was even spoken and answers to questions...impeccable service! Thanks Fanny!!
Had the steak sandwich, it was terrible. Over all the food was bad. On the plus side good bartender made decent drinks. Ummmm I will get in truck next time and go to a restaurant even though I am staying at sandman.
This little gem screams a cosy bar feel with amazing service given from Brooke! The food was tasty and the drinks were not watered down. Definitely would recommend the deep fried pickles and the vodka cranberry!
Came in with a friend and had amazing hospitality. We have been in a couple of times but this time was served by kristin, super friendly and inviting. Awesome experience. Going back die lunch tomorrow
I had the pleasure of coming into bar one today and received exceptional service from Hailey! Will definitely be coming back! The staff was very friendly and the food was awesome! Thanks so much !
We go there every week for a couple of pints after hockey. The food is very good, the beer ice cold and delicious and the service from Fanny is incredible. Our favourite pub.....bar none!
Food and drink is great here. Good beer and prices. The dips for the onion rings and deep fried pickles were unreal. Highly recommended. Out of the way, and service can be slow.
Very friendly atmosphere with good quality food and drinks . Went to have few drinks and bite with friends . Fanny is exceptional . Definitely recommend this place
Go for Wings every 2 weeks with my wife. We really like the house draft! A very tasty beer. Wings are great as well. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere.
Nice little bar. Attached to a hotel as well as Dennys. You have your choice eat at the pub or Dennys. Has good room, clean restrooms and friendly staff.
The food was well presented, hot and delicious! The staff went above and beyond to create a great experience. Will be dining here again for sure!
Staff are very friendly and had one of my favourite deep fried pickles, not to mention the fries are sooo good! Will be coming back for sure!
Service is great. Internet is the worst I have ever seen for a hotel/ bar. Cuts in and out. In this day and age it is an absolute disgrace.
Awesome service, by far the best bar in the area. Also has good specials and cheap drinks. Ask the bartender Brad how to get a free taco.
Last Thursday dropped in on wing night. Felt welcomed and are server Fanny was very nice & left us with awesome experience.
Fanny at Bar One is fabulous. Her service is top notch and she treats our Friday hockey group like gold! Thanks Fanny!
It was okay for a drink but the food was terrible.
