Watchman's Pub & Eatery

I'd come here a few times since I moved to Calgary a year and a half ago. Always appreciated Gord at the bar remembering my usual drink, the selection of sports available to watch, and the food was perfectly good pub grub. Checked their website recently and saw it was updated, with a new menu. It was Saturday and the daily special was steak frites, so I decided to try it out while watching playoff hockey. (Note: it was UFC Night so most TVs had that on, along with the sound system). Got there just after the game started and sat myself, waited a few minutes until a server noticed me, asked if I'd been helped yet, then another one came over, gave me a food menu and took my drink order. She brought me my drink, and then disappeared for over half an hour. I saw her hanging out by the bar, and back by the kitchen, but didn't see her working the floor much. It was almost the end of the period and I'd decided I was going to leave at intermission, when I got her attention and she came over. I ordered the steak frites, medium. She brought it out in a timely manner. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe medium is still pink. This was closer to well done, see photo. The place wasn't terribly busy when I left, maybe half full.

My friend and I popped into your pub today for a drink and the service was exceptional. Your server, Jillian made us feel very welcome. She was very a attentive, patient and always smiling. She checked on us made sure we were are ok and was always to take additional orders. I would definitely recommend this place. Even though I mentioned it n person, I would like to say a big thank you to Jillian for her service.

Chicken tenders and Badass .Also Chicken tacos all dishes very good.. Food came hot. The pub became busy after a little later in the evening. Karaoke nights. The atmosphere....the booths run down and worn. Bathroom very clean.Service and hospitality excellent!!

Down to earth joint with a fun crowd. Really wish the food taste was better. Fish n chips - the fish was just too oily and the butter chicken was just too "sweet and processed/TV/Dinnery"… will be back though for the drinks and fun times. Service was a bit of a hit n miss.

I was just here for Tuesday movie night and had such a great time! The staff is so amazing and friendly! They had a new food menu and everything looks so delicious, I had the cajin chicken club. was not disappointed! 10/10 would recommend to anyone to check out this pub. It is my favourite pub in the city.

This was my first and last time here. I ordered a pick up order for the BBQ mushroom funguy burger with fries and gravy. The burger was disgusting. It was soggy, the toppings where old, the burger patties had fat and grease slime on them. The where also not cooked. The patties where pink. They charge 2 dollars extra for a tiny container of gravy. Tried calling to talk to a manager and he was rude. He said he had no problem with the burgers and maybe it was just mine. Definitely won't be back.

I didn't know what to expect when I went into watchman's. The stools are a little bit worn and the bar has had a pass reputation of being not the best place to go. I came in on a Tuesday night and was surprised to find out that they were having a movie night. I came in and was met with smiles from both the staff members Jeremy, and alex. There was also a brand new food menu and I got to try the salmon poke bowl. I was surprised to see something like that at a pub but it was delicious. I would recommend 10 out of 10
