Coach & Horses Ale Room

Amazing! Simply the best experience I’ve have ever had in a pub! Josh was took customer service to a new level, it was my best friends birthday and our first time here and we will be back with many of our friends !!! FYI they have the most loyal friendly awesome patrons !

A perfect burger! So delish! And the mash potatoes! And gravy! Mmm. And the service? Jessica is great, does a great job, and helps that she’s gorgeous. I think I may have found my next haunt. Great atmosphere, people laughing from the belly.
Surprisingly fret for a Monday night. Great spot.

The service on wing night is usually really good. Every time I order Any other food on Wing night it takes about 20 mins or more. Oh and THEY DONT TAKE DEBIT !! The owner put a ATM there so he makes money off the service fee YOU pay. Other than that, pretty good place.

Went for a fundraiser dinner but also ordered beers and appys on top of the $ 25 ticket which included steak, Caesar salad, baked potato, and garlic toast.
The fundraiser dinner part, food was ok… thin steaks. Bit bland. Not overcooked tho so that’s nice. Salad was on the soggy side. Garlic toast was just cheap white bread slices. Potatoes well they’re impossible to mess up.
Service was very slow. Borderline incompetent. It took an hour to get an apply plate of deep fried shit that was pretty awful anyways and we were starving. Barely asked if we wanted refills. I had to even go and get a menu myself from the bar because the server was so slow bringing one. And again after the meal I had to go get my own take out containers even after asking. And i had to actually find someone to take my money at the end because no one would bring us a debit machine so I went to the server station to pay and then
THEY DONT EVEN TAKE DEBIT UGH luckily I had a credit card too but come on like you can’t do that these days it’s complete bullshitttttt and charging an exorbitant fee for atm use as it’s cash or credit only.
So you’ve secured a shit review and the several people I was with won’t be back. Nor will we use it for fundraising location again.
Side note they had a huge banner with pictures of irish beers and then when we tried to order some they said they didn’t have any of those that were advertised.
Fail.
big fat fail!

Was here for wing night (Wednesday $.25).
Pub was packed, but the servers were very good and felt looked after. Kitchen was fast, even faster than the servers expected.

Pretty basic unpretentious pub. Good place to hang out, shoot some pool and have a few drinks. Decent selection of beers with a different special every night on food and drink. Sometimes the food can be a bit salty– watch out for the seafood chowder– but usually it’s fine.
Wing night (Wednesday) is a good night to visit. The wings are inexpensive at 25c each, available in a selection of flavours and are cooked properly– not undercooked and not burnt. My favourite would probably be the Jamaican Jerk, honey garlic or BBQ flavours; wasn’t too impressed by the tandoori (smelt great but the taste didn’t deliver much) or Greek (too dry for my liking) flavours.
I’m probably a little biased because it’s my local pub and I go there quite frequently, but that’s what it is– a good pub with a pub atmosphere and decent pub food. The clientèle tends to be a little older than many other pubs in the area which suits me fine. I couldn’t imagine travelling across the city to come here, but of the pubs in this area it’s the one I usually tend to go to.

Look up the word «Pub» in the dictionary and you’ll find this in it. Nothing much special in it. I would say ordinary and merely you’d find anything special in there.
I had the same feeling of it being a Jaimeson’s pub. ofcourse except this place has its pool table if you have a dollar and a quarter.
It would be a great place to just hang out and chill but the longer you stay the more you’d expect to pay. Nothing out of the ordinary on their dishes either and I have to say a little bit much on the pricy side. I have the general feeling that I’d be spending atleast $ 20 for every visit here. Ofcourse that depends on your order and how long you’d be staying there.
Regards their service I would say nothing out of the ordinary. Can’t even entirely say if the smiles are purely genuine or just a mask made to lighten up your pocket.
Either way I’m not complaining. I had fun with friends don’t have much else to comment on the place.

Sunday felt like a pub night so since C&H is just down the way from us we decided to check it out!
It is fully decorated in wood tables/​chairs but we found a nice little booth to settle into.
I thought the menu wasn’t bad, they had some good sounding burgers/​sandwiches and most items were defiantly pub food — so not many healthy choices. I found the beer selection to be pretty good.
The service was average; I ordered a bottle of Kronenbourg Blanc and got a pint of Kronenbourg 1664 instead which was a letdown but i didn’t mind much.
I ordered the Phoenix chicken burger, it was pretty big and had a nice kick to it. I wasn’t a fan of the side of fries since they tasted like they were double fried and resembled KFC fries. If you like those then you’ll like these.
I would like to go back and try lunch or maybe the brunch one time.

Typical worn pub. Not sure how often they clean the keg lines as the beer tastes a bit «off» service has rarely been acceptable and always slow. The food is a crapshoot sometimes good and other times not so good.

If you enjoy waiting and having to go find your server then this is the pub for you.
15 minutes to get a beer. We were not sure if our server worked there or was a patron. She seemed confused. Then another 30 minutes to get served our food. Im not sure which butcher shop they went to purchase the meet at.
The only reason for a star was the burger was not bad.

The location offers good parking and is handy to many areas in South Calgary. The interior is nice — modern and clean. I was surprised at how large it was inside.
I dropped in for a quick bite. It was New Year’s Day so it was fairly quiet. The service was ok.
I had shepherd’s pie and Mac and cheese as a side. It was uninspired. The shepherd’s pie was from a refrigerator or freezer and heated. The Mac and cheese seemed to be the same. Try something else.
With such a large menu this is expected. A smaller fresh made menu would be better but it is a pub.
Overall it seems like a good pub. I would try it again.

Pretty standard as pubs go, food could be better, nacho cheese mix does not go on French onion soup. South end is tough for finding good spots

Classic pub décor and atmosphere. A pub can be rated on either its service, or its food, since drinks are pretty standard across the board. While our service was pretty good, my rating is dragged down by the food. While the patio was nice, the menu selection wide-​ranging, and the COLLOSAL appetizer sampler at the table next to us looked tempting, our mains missed the mark somewhat.
The wienerschnitzel did not have anything even resembling a crispy breading. Improved communication between the kitchen and wait staff would have been nice, as I discussed ordering a Caesar salad as the side choice instead of mashed potatoes, based on the dish coming standard with roasted squash anyway. Unbeknownst to the server, the kitchen was out of squash, and so I ended up with no starch at all. My wife had the strip loin, which was cooked rare as ordered (it’s amazing how often kitchens can’t get this right), but nothing to write home about in terms of flavor or accompaniments. While none of this ruins an evening, surely 4 and 5 star ratings should be reserved for superelative performance, no?
In short, go here for drinks and appys (and maybe standards like burgers, as other reviewers have noted), but there are much better pubs in town for real food.

How much can you really say about a pub? It’s a pretty standard pub, offering the same selection beers as every other standard pub in the south. What sets this place apart is the crowd and the space.
The Coach has been my go-​to pub in the south for a long time now. It attracts an older crowd; sports fans, metal heads, and mostly men. You won’t find many hipsters, kids that think they are too cool for school, or any loud obnoxious types. It’s just a great casual sausage fest every night. The large venue is always busy, but somehow I always end up finding a table (Unlike Hudson’s… ugh). And let’s not forget, their potato nachos are my favourite! You can’t be too picky with pub fare, but this place does it better than most.
I’ve been to every pub south of Fish Creek Provincial Park, and the Coach is definitely my favourite.
Hmm… I should make a list.

As you have read in other reviews, Coach & Horses is one of the better pubs you’ll find in south Calgary. The food has been excellent every time I’ve been as has the service. This place could easily be a 5 star if not for two things, and even as I write this I admit they are petty and possibly more testaments to the quality of the establishment rather than weaknesses.
Firstly, I have considered myself very fortunate to find seating whenever I’ve come here. This is not necessarly a bad thing, just more of a warning to people. And secondly, although I can attest the food is top notch, the menu is too deep. I’m always leery of pubs with menu’s so large that I need to rest halfway through reading. I find that smaller menu’s are usually full of items that they can consistently knock out of the park.

Another convenient local pub down south Calgary. Coach and Horses Ale has a great open space that allows me to converse with my friends, as well as the ability to view the room and «people watch». It’s one of the few pubs me and my friends can ever agree on visiting.
For approximately 15 dollars, depending on what extra items you get, their plate of Nachos can be a righteous pub snack that can be shared with a table of at least three grown men. Careful not to hog all the chips with the Jalepenos, your derrière will hate you in the morning: S
Their beer and drink menu is great with prices that are about the same as the other local pubs around (Dixons, Bull & Finch).
The service is great, the waitresses are friendly and efficient, and don’t bat their eyelashes at you in order to squeeze tips. I mean come on, trying to have a manversation here.

Coach and horses is definitely one of the stand out pubs/​eateries in the S.E. I have been here about 5 times and every one of those times have been consistent and quite solid in service, food and drinks. With a big selection of brew and a menu that has some standout items, the appeal of coach and horses always flashes in my head when looking for a decent pub.
This place is BIG, a lot of seating and like 4 different «zones» to choose from. Even when I have come hear at peak hours and it seems crowded, I have never had any trouble finding seats.
For the food I have not been very adventurous here. I tried the coach burger the first time I was their and out fear of getting something that is not good (always risky at places with big menus!) I stick with the coach burger. It is quite hefty in size and fills me up well! Every time I have ordered the burger it has been very good. Maybe next time I go its time to branch out, I will have to see how I feel…
So if one is in the southeast and looking for a Nice pubby place, coach and horses should fit the bill! The crowd that seems to frequent here is a little bit rowdy and the music they play is radio drool but its a pub so. so be it! Come check it !

Good competition for the new Hudsons that just opened up near by. Good sized crowd and the right atmosphere to have an after work drink.

This is a great enviroment to grab a drink or some food with friends, coworkers, family, etc.
It’s a good, clean pub; never dirty or sketchy, I’ve never witnessed a rowdy situation or encountered someone being beligerently drunk.
The food is great, the menu has a wide variety and it is all good quality pub food. I absolutely looove nachoes, and the Coach & Horses’ nachoes definetly do not disapoint. Plus the service is great! Some of the nicest bartenders and servers in Calgary.
This is hands-​down my favorite place to grab a drink. I come here quite often and always have a great time!

If you want pub grub in the deep south, this is the place to go. I have never seen a menu so extensive. Pizza (the best), burgers, appies, fish & chips, stir fry, yorkshires, yummy fries… the list goes on and on. They are great for groups as there’s lots of room to sit. Only down side is the temp. I always have to wear my coat cause its so friggin cold in there.
