I was introduced to City Pub last year when it became the home bar for my pool team. The first couple nights we played there was a Karaoke competition on the nights we played. It was fun interesting! I have only seen one place as busy for Karaoke. But once the winner was crowned, I figured the crowd would die down. Not so! I know why...the food and the staff! I've mostly had the pizza which is AMAZING! The guys usually get ours stacked! Soooooo much topping but so good. Staff are always friendly and fun, they know how to take a good joke and throw them back at'cha. Truly such a great place to hang out with good people, good food, digital jukebox, VLTs and two pool tables. It is part of a strip mall so parking in front of the entrances but there is a parking lot for the mall for more parking. I already like City...but tonight I am seriously impressed, they went over and above I feel. I ordered for take out but the delivery person didn't want to drive to my area, I was ok with that and was about to look for somewhere closer. City called to let me know that they called another delivery service to make sure I got my dinner tonight :D I just read the beef dip was good, so glad that is what I ordered! Really worth checking it out!

I have almost everytime I go there is the chicken quesadilla's and it was totally worth every bite, also my bartenders are pretty awesome at making myself & my + one, the best cherry whiskey paralizers ever thanks again this pub is cozy has vlts 5 to play the service is excellent and the pub is friendly nice, covid clean the atmosphere of the CITY PUB has good tunes, pool tables, karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights, & the singers are really good !! The Food Specials everyday if the week! & the bartender will know your name the first time you go it there its Great!!! The City Pub is just off the main road off 37th st s.w & 26th Ave S.W it's only a 15 min bike ride to my house. Its my new go-to pub for there food homemade and tasty as well as the nice casual feel <3 check this neighborhood pub out trust me you won't regret it :) its kinda like cheers tv show ♡

City Pub definitely exceeded my expectations. If you look at it from the outside, it seems like just another Calgary pub. However, once inside you will quickly discover that the food is wonderful and the staff is even better. I had an order of mozza sticks and a Greek salad. Greek salad is not something most people think of for pub food, but the kitchen staff here NAILED IT. Mozza sticks are as good if not better than others I have had. On top of that, Lanni (bartender) made sure I always had what I needed and did so with a smile. Not a typical bartender smile, but a real genuine smile that you can see through a mask. On that note, all staff were wearing masks, offering sanitizer to other patrons, and constantly sterilizing surfaces. All around excellent experience, would highly recommend.

City pub has quickly become one of my favourite bars in the city. It a kitchen that serves good quality food and is open late compared to other bars. The prices for food and drinks are very fair for the customer. The bar hosts events like karaoke nights. There are numerous televisions to watch your favourite sport. The bar also has coin-op pool tables and lottery machines for those who are interested. However in my opinion the best thing about the bar are the people. The regulars are a fun and respectful crowd, the bartender is kind and attentive, the people that run karaoke are fantastically engaging, and the server I’ve interacted with (Britany) is incredible at her job. Overall I think it is an awesome neighbourhood pub and I look forward to the nights I go there.

Never been to a more flexible establishment. Let me explain, living in the area for 20+ years this corner pocket has had a "hole in wall" label, but since, it has evolved and become the most comfortable, welcoming and lovable spot. The regulars are hilarious have tonnes of good stories. The drinks are affordable, make sure you are there for a flames game. From Birthdays to New years to Tacos on Thursday, this place will be everything you need on any occasion and more. Don't let anyone call this a dirty spoon because the food is unbelievable (personal biased, all pizzas and tacos are my favorite). I thought this would be a flavor of the week stop for me, but its been months and I'm still going back.

Plato’s used to be a great pub went today to your pub Sunday July 24 th at 1130 am we asked for 2beers waited 10 minutes asked again and the bartender was very rude and persnickety you need to wait im busy. She had a handful of people a guy was asking to cash his vlt ticket said he had been waiting a half an hour My husband called the bartender on her rude behaviour only to get back lash .If your a neighbour hood pub your customers matter a simple smile a simple hello how ya doing. Fire this girls right out the door she’s nasty and she’s not going to bring you any business We went to Smittys to be served by Donna Von and we had a great day left a 200 tip. Sorry city pub your bartender is the worst

At least, the burger was actually pretty good. Bun could have used a little toast to take off the chill otherwise it was actually a pretty decent burger. Come by here quite often and finally decided to check out City Pub, as the old pizza place was finally gone. Unfortunately the old pizza house interior still exists. This place really needs a cleaning and renovation. Old and worn, a few new chairs but thats it. Bathroom was actually disgusting, stale smells and at least 20 year old tile and finishing. I hope a total gut is coming and the interior gets spruced up to match the decent food....

As soon as I walked in we were greeted with a great welcome from our server - she grabbed us two beer right away - took our order and it was in front of us in 15 mins - the food was fantastic!!! I got Lasagna, Caesar salad, onion rings and a steak sandwich that was cooked PERFECTLY - 1000/1000 - side note- I am also a server and I just worked a double and I needed to just relax - I came to the right place. They had fun stampede karaoke goin and cold beer - thank you so much guys!

I would like to try and support a local pub, but the bartender said she was to busy to serve us, we asked why and the response was "Did you have a drink before you got here?" We said yes we had lunch and a drink at a close by pub, we were then said nope your all cut off. We met a lady by the VLTs on our way out that offered to talk to the bartender but we felt uncomfortable to stay. This type of service is ruining small local pubs.

I went here for karaoke with a group, and was pleasantly surprised. It's kind of a dive bar, but the service is quite good, and my steak sandwich with the garden salad was very good. I ordered it rare, and it was perfectly cooked, tender and delicious. Garden salad was nice and fresh and crisp. It was served with some decent garlic toast, and the price a very reasonable $12. Not a bad spot at all.

Food was good, excellent pizza. The service, our wait staff Stephanie, was great. The karaoke experience was different!!! The usual DJ was not able to make it and the replacement DJ arrived late and then had some technical issues that were eventually fixed. The crowd was not the most enthusiastic and mostly ignored the karaoke singers. Hopefully this will get better in the next little while.

Just like Calgary's weather I will try to Forecast my review before I know the end results. A linguist may say I might be foretelling my review. Forecast: a a prediction or estimate of future events, especially coming weather or a financial trend. A small quaint innuendum situated in a dangerous area of the city but at least it's not Saskatchewan Will update upon arrival.

Just went in for the karaoke night and because I did not look like the rest of the crowd the manager asked for the box of take out from my hand and asked us to leave the premises even though my friend and I stayed we were there to sing and dance . DO not come here worst service ever!

It's not a very accurate rating really. I I've only been there once really and didn't eat or anything so.... I can say though that the entire time I was there (a couple hours id guess) that not one waitress came by to see if I wanted a drink or anything. The atmosphere was alright, it was pretty busy actually for an afternoon.

Don't judge a pub by its cover. This place isn't much to look at inside or out, but the staff is friendly, courteous, and they take the time to learn your name. Food is very good. Lots of burgers and pizza on the menu. I went for the Shepards pie and it was very tasty. Pool tables are in good shape too.

Omg Dean is the best bartender I have ever had! I have been a bar manager for 10 years, and I can say this bartender is the biggest asset. This will be my favourite pub to go to due to the amazing service that I had tonight! To the owner best business hire! Such a wonderful personality.

I was first greeted by Melissa who was very attentive and friendly! She had a great demeanour and demonstrated a professional etiquette. The manager on shift suggested items as I have never dined here and gave great recommendations! Highly suggested as one of the best Pubs! Thank you!

Found this hidden gem.absolutely the best pub I've been to in regards to your amazing barstaff and waitresses.what a great vibe,atmosphere and clientele.excellent customer service!!hats off , keep being amazing ladies and gentlemen.your food was so delicious and great quality,

I love this place! It has personality! The staff are fun and great at what they do. They recently did some renos and it looks great in there. The food is awesome! They have daily specials, great wings and pizza, aaand an $8.95 Sunday breakfast/brunch buffet, and it's delish!

Drink prices decent, food to be determined, atmosphere is Salt of Calgary. They have a jukebox, but no one mentions that your $6 worth of music choices gets cut off until AFTER the hockey game that you didn't know about gets turned on! So yeah, goodbye $6

The City pub has updated their site to reflect the new restrictions. Thank you. We had the pizza, wing, and cesar salad combo and it was delicious. The pizza was amazing. And delivered within 30 minutes for $3. It will b our new go to for pizza and wings.

My go to place. They have wings three nights a week, live music, karaoke, etc. The staff are awesome for the most part. Their menu is great. I've only ever had one thing I didn't enjoy and I'm pretty sure that comes down to personal preference. Love it.

Great classic dive bar with everything you could want. Friendly bartenders and exciting regulars. Some of the best pizza in town plus other great menu items. 2 pool tables with competition on any night. Open until 2:00 every night which is hard to find.

Perfect Saturday afternoon! Beer was cold. Food was good. Everything is less expensive than most places. However, Cristal was the star of the show. She is welcoming, amiable, and an excellent hostess! I could not ask for better service.

The food was great. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was a grubby pub. Not a bad thing. I had a Guinness and a steak. The steak was $20, but fed two of us, so for what it was it was reasonably prices and certainly delicious.

A fantastic pub full of energy and great food/ food deals. Been a regular for over a year now. Love the staff and all the regulars. Karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays with my friend Nathan is a blast!!!

My new go to bar! IYKYK hidden gem. I’m bringing everyone I know here cause this place deserve to be better known. Food and atmosphere is so good. Staff is very personable can’t wait to come back.

Loved every bit of it. It was my first night and I already made a few friends. Can't wait to be back tomorrow again

Your typical city pub. Its clean enough has a couple pool tables and the staff is polite and proffesional. The rest of the guests were well mannered and I found interesting conversation.

Super welcoming for our larger club group. The food is reasonably priced, tastes great with excellent service. Not sure what else you would want from a local pub. We'll be back for sure!

Good value and friendly staff
