Was quite good. Establishment Sky Rocket was my favorite. It was recommended by the person manning the pub. The fries were super fresh and the beers were great.

Angelo Pe Benito (☆ 5/5)

Dive/Pub with according food options. Poutine was not good - cheese was not melted, fries too salty. Chicken tenders too dry. Came here to watch hockey game, but disappointed how small the TVs were… also hidden in corners - impossible to watch sitting at the bar

Anton S. (☆ 4/5)

Enjoyed my visit to the Ship & Anchor. It has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a diverse crowd that makes the space feel lively and inclusive. The staff were friendly and efficient, the food was well-prepared—especially the fish & chips—and the selection of beer was impressive. The patio was a highlight on a sunny day, and the overall experience felt relaxed and genuine. A well-run pub that clearly values both quality and community.

We went bc a friend's recommendation and it was worth it. We had some beers and tried the poutine, which was delicious, crunchy chips and super tasty. There is gluten free beer.

Leonor Barradas (☆ 5/5)

Food was delicious, service was excellent and the interior was really cool looking. If you're looking for good pub style food, this is it! They also have a good drink menu. Our group ordered Nachos, Burgers, Fish&Chips, pizza and more. They were all very good!

Dan Yang (☆ 5/5)

Food is not the worst but definitely not your money’s worth! Bad service and wait staff. Please give yourself a better chance and just go to another spot. This place is a "sports" spot but it’s a joke and makes no effort. Calgary really needs to do better. Not to mention the racist staff…
