The Ship & Anchor

I think you should definitely grab some food; their nachos are awesome! Just be warned - they can take a bit longer to come out, especially when it's busy.

I suggest coming on a weekday if you can, like Tuesday or Wednesday, to avoid the huge weekend crowds. You'll have a better shot at getting a dart board and a chill atmosphere.

My advice is to try their house beers if you're looking to save a few bucks. They often have some great local brews on special, and you'll get a taste of Calgary's craft scene.

I recommend checking out their event schedule; they sometimes host live music or darts tournaments. I had a blast during a spontaneous event last time.

Make sure to grab a spot for darts early if you want to play. It gets pretty crowded and you might end up waiting for a table!

My advice is to ask the staff for game recommendations; they are super friendly and helped me pick some fun ones that really made my night.
Dublin Calling
For a better atmosphere, consider sitting upstairs. It feels a bit more chill, and you'll have a great view of the games below. I enjoyed it way more up there!

Make sure to bring cash. Some of the games might charge you a bit more if you pay with a card. I learned that the hard way when my bill was higher than expected.

If you're planning to play darts or ping-pong, get there around 5 PM to avoid the crazy crowds later in the night. I found it way more enjoyable without the wait for the games.
Bonasera Pizza & Sports Bar SE

I think you should definitely order the pizza instead of the burgers. The crust was amazing and they offer a lot of creative toppings. I wasn't a big fan of the burgers, though.

My advice is to try their happy hour deals, which run from 3 PM to 6 PM. Drinks and appetizers are much cheaper during this time, and they're totally worth it!

I suggest hitting up Bonasera on a weekday instead of the weekend. The crowds can get pretty wild, and you'll get more space to play darts or billiards. Plus, it’s way easier to get a table.
Pegasus Bar

Check out the menu for their shareable plates, it's an awesome way to snack while you play darts. I wasn't sure at first, but they turned out to be delish!

If you're planning to play darts, try to get there right when they open, around 5 PM. You’ll avoid the crowd and get a dartboard without a wait!

i think the drink specials are awesome, especially during happy hour. make sure to ask the bartender what's on deal; it could save you a bunch!

Be ready for some event nights - they can get busy! I suggest checking their social media beforehand to see if they have a tournament or theme night.
Black Swan Ale House

I recommend checking their website for any food specials. I ended up ordering something full price when there was a buy-one-get-one deal I missed!
I suggest trying their happy hour from 4-6 PM for some great deals on drinks and appetizers. I saved quite a bit this way!

My advice is to play darts! It's super fun, but make sure to grab a spot early if you want a good board. It got crowded fast later on.
Soho Bar & Billiards

Definitely check out their happy hour deals, which start around 4 PM – you can snag half-priced drinks and some tasty appetizers that make for a great start to the evening.

If you're into darts, practice a bit beforehand! The setup is friendly for newcomers, but having a few skills can make the experience more fun with your pals.

I found that getting a pool table can take some time during peak hours, so consider showing up before 6 PM or after 9 PM for a better chance to jump right in
JT's Bar & Grill

My advice is to order the poutine. I didn’t think it’d be that good, but wow, it’s super tasty! Just make sure to share, it's a big portion!

I think they have a really chill outdoor patio. Try to snag a spot there if the weather's nice – it's way more laid back than inside.

I suggest checking out their happy hour from 4-6 PM to grab some good deals on drinks and apps. It's a great way to save some cash!

My advice is to download their membership app before you go. I didn't, and I missed out on some cool discounts on games and drinks. It was a bit of a bummer!
