Melrose-Red Mile Headquarters



I was lucky enough to experience a Flames playoff game at Melrose on Thursday. Wow, was it ever an experience. THey have a zillion TV's all around, you dont even have to turn your head to have a great view of the game. The huge bonus is that the sound is on full blast, so the 'Go Flames Go' chant is so loud, its almost like you are at the ...

Bottoms Up!



In the Killary area of Calgary lies Bottoms Up! This joint is a true sports lovers haven! I went there for a friends birthday, not too sure what to expect. I was totally blown away! The beer was cheap, the food was great, with huge portion sizes, and the atmosphere was excellent. The table tops are covered in old sports cards, and are all themed. Each table has hockey, baseball, ...

Chutney: Thank You, Come Again!


The cashier yelled "Thank you, come again!" as we wandered out of Chutney on a cold Wednesday night and needless to say, I was already wondering when we would be going back for round 2. Oddly located in the Sun Life Plaza on 112 and 4th Ave SW, Chutney has an amazing buffet selection according to many however we tried the dinner selection.

The butter chicken and ...

Trong Khanh: I Pity the Pho


Tucked away in between Mykonos and a donair stop on 1115 Centre Street North, Trong Khanh is barely noticeable to those who are driving by. With a reputation created by John Gilchrist, Trong Khanh seemed to be a good place to grab a quick bite of Pho, unfortunately we were sorely disappointed.

The restaurant itself seemed well-maintained and the warm lighting created the ideal environment for a good family meal, however ...

Want a good laugh, listen to some good music, watch theatre, and eat at the same time? You need to visit Jubilations located at 1002 37 St. SW Calgary near Westbrook Mall.

Each year Jubilations puts on five musical theatre projects that spoof popular movies, television shows, and musical groups. There's usually a talented cast of about six to twelve young performers who sing, dance, and act each night for three ...

Origianl Joe's on 4th Open Again!



After a closure for renovations for a few weeks, my favorite Calgary pub has re-opened, finally! Lucky to have retained the majority of its staff, OJ's is open and ready to go, business as usual. For more information, please chek out thier website. The new layout and decor looks fantastic, however, the lively and fresh atmosphere has stayed unchanged.
If you happen to wander in Sunday through Wednesday evening, ask ...

Indian Buffet



As one of the many people employed in the downtown core, I try to venture out for lunch every now and again. Recently I went out to Chutney for their lunch buffet with a friend. Wow, it was amazing! The food was fantastic, and refreshed every 15 minutes or so. Needless to say, the place was completely full! Check out their website for address and phone number information: This is ...

Nando's: Peri Peri Good


An alternative to the deep-fried greasiness of KFC lies in the roasted peri-peri goodness of Nando’s Chicken. The healthier side options of rice and baked potato compared to the French fries and gravy of KFC allowed for a decrease in the chance of pyrosis (a fancy word for heartburn) and ulcers. Nando’s, which is on 3333 32 Avenue NE, is usually filled with families and provides a warm environment ...

Buchanan's - Bloody rare


On a fateful Sunday night, I journeyed with some friends to Buchanan’s located on 738-3 Avenue SW. Buoyed by John Gilchrist’s review of the chophouse and hoping for a classier environment than our last Gilchrist adventure to Palomino, we walked in with optimism. For a restaurant that’s situated so close to the ...
