What are your favourite pubs in Calgary?

Bonus points if they have awesome Monday night specials.

1600 in Glenmore landing. Great beer selection. The Coach & Horse in Shawnessy. Either Rips.

There are zero good pubs in the NW, IMO.

Dixons is good times and has good Monday specials. Schanks South for games. And pretty much any rowdy irish pub is fun times.

Kilt and Caber in McKenzie Towne is really nice.
Great food, nice atmosphere, haven't been there for the last couple of years though.
Things might have changed.

I like Fergus and Bicks in Wentworth, 1600 if the service is good, and anywhere else that sells a good cold beer.

The Unicorn.

Oh yeah, and the Rose And Crown.

I haven't been to many Calgary pubs.

Yeah, FATS is sweet. Small & intimate. Great pizza too. The beer is alright as well.

Fats is ok. Every time I've been there the service has been absolutely awful.

Good for you. Maybe instead of drinking shooters with you they should be bringing me my next beer. The point is really moot because none of my friends like it there because we always get terrible service.

Dixons, Rips and Coach and Horses (it's pretty dead now though). Dobsons pub is another great one still new though.

That's weird because I get good service at pretty much every other pub I frequent. I don't go back to places that have bad service. Hence why I never go to Shanks.

Then again it could just be that the girls at FATS all read CP and just give me terrible service because they hate flip.
