The Canadian Brewhouse

We enjoyed the bar food and environment. We got there early to get a good spot upstairs. We enjoy the steak bites and nachos.

Dessert poutine to die for.
Canadian burger is made with great quality. Super tasty and the bacon was perfect. Lettuce was a little oversized. Salad was fresh. Kitchen staff rocks here.
Schooners we’re a great price on Thursday.
Courtney was an epic hostess.

I live in the neighborhood of this restaurant and I would like to drop by more often.
Unfortunately, I don’t care for the level of the service. I am usually disappointed in the standard things a sever would do for you (offer you water, double check the meal was delivered with everything that you asked for, and later on ask if there is anything else you needed).
I just got get those standard items at the Canadian Brewhouse.
On my last visit there was a loud obnoxious person that the restaurant didn’t do anything about. Eventually, the restaurant manager approached our group of 4 and offered we could all share one dessert.
Seriously?
I will wait another year or two before I go back.
ps. The deck is fantastic but they don’t have enough umbrellas to keep the sun of your eyes while you eat:

Canadian burger w fries was hot & flavourful. Lots of beer to choose from. Great service in a busy place. Plenty of TVs to watch any sort of sports. Plenty of good music piped in.

Came here on a really busy evening. St Patrick’s Day celebrations are no joke at a pub! It was jam packed but our server was still extremely pleasant with us and very tentative. At one point she even apologized for the wait when I felt she didn’t even really make us wait for anything at all. The food was actually quite good. The dry ribs are very tasty. We also ordered the cheeseburger poutine and it was just like a cheeseburger with fries and gravy. It got a bit salty as I kept eating it. I tried the poutine dessert and it was also very good. The portions are ginormous! Overall it was a good experience with the manager overlooking quality control.

Bar service is bad and very slow they take car of the server not the people at the bar

A few friends and I decided to come here for dinner before we went to the movies (hooray for recliner theatre!). When we first arrived, the Canadian décor was definitely noticeable. The hockey stick railing and the mini Calgary Tower in one corner were a fun touch and worked well with the theme of this place. We found a nice spot and waited for someone to come by. We waited… and waited… and waited. Finally, our server came over and promptly gave us menus and took our drink order. She dropped our drinks off quickly, but then we had to flag her down to take our food order. That seemed to be the theme of the night. We were constantly looking for someone to acknowledge us. Don’t get me wrong, the server was nice when she came by. But she lacked a sense of urgency and if we weren’t waving at her, she probably would’ve never come back to check on us. It was busy when we arrived, so perhaps service was slow because of that? But once it cleared out, service really didn’t get any better. So I don’t know what was going on there.
All that aside, onto the food and drinks portion of this review! I had a red wine sangria and it was verrrry strong. I like strong drinks so I enjoyed it. But if you prefer something sweet that doesn’t taste like alcohol, don’t order the sangria. My friend’s sister got a peach Bellini and it was really sugary. She likes sweet drinks, but found this to be almost too sweet. I ordered the Pulled Pork Poutine. It was HUGE! Our server warned me it was quite large, and I’m glad she told me that so I didn’t order too much food. I liked the poutine. A good amount of gravy and pulled pork was tender. Was it the best poutine I’ve ever had? No, but it still had nice flavor to it. My two friends both got the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. They both found it had waaay too many onions in it and the onions overpowered everything else in the wrap. They were disappointed by the dish and said they wouldn’t order it again.
Next time I am in the area, perhaps I would come here again for a quick bite. But the meal just wasn’t outstanding, so I would probably just stick to snack food or poutine here.

We love going here regardless of how snooty the girl waitress’ are. It’s super loud but a fun atmosphere and they have excellent food. Nice and big too, and lovely to sit on the patio for the summer!

This is a great local spot! We’ve been more than a few times, the food is quite what you’d expect to find at a bar, burgers, nacos, fries, ect… Thier drink menu however is quite extensive and one of my favorite places to go for a good drink. I really love thier variety of ceasars. my favorite has to be the dill pickle ceasar. I also love thier candy inspired drinks. I recommend this place if your looking to get a good meal, drink and watch the game as they are very much hockey orientated with TV screens available from every angle. The décor is very nicely done and welcoming, they have lots of space and a nice patio in the summer that ovelooks the greenspace behind.

Hockey. Poutine. Dropshots. Not beer.
Don’t get confused — this isn’t a Canadian brewhouse, it’s a Canadian Hockey House. Fan of beer? Go elsewhere. Fan of hockey? Now we’re talking! The Canadian Brewhouse (Hockeyhouse) has two jumbotrons. It’s two levels tall and each one gets it’s own jumbotron. Awesome.
Apart from being decorated mostly with televisions, what little space is left over is taken up with, you guessed it, Hockey kitsch. Even the stair rail is made out of hockey sticks because Canada. There’s also brightly lit (American) beer kegs and a large Inukshuk statue in front. I’m guessing also because Canada.
I’ve got this sneaking suspicion this place turns into one of those strange dance pubs for selfie taking suburban 18 year olds on the weekend…
They’ve got some food options that seem kind of fun. Our server (black t-​shirts and plaid skirts — because Canada?) carried a DESSERT POUTINE to another table and my jaw dropped. Brown sugar and cinnamon doughnut fries with Chocolate sauce and ice cream gravy. Oh Canada!
It was Taco Tuesday, so I went with the $ 1.50 tacos. I wouldn’t recommend. But if you get really stoked about Taco Time, then you’ll probably only be a little disappointed. $ 1.50 extra for a tiny amount of salsa and sour cream. They’re not that great and they’re not even close to authentic… which I guess makes them Authentically Canadian! Points to your commitment below average confused Mexican food, Canadian Brewhouse. I salute you!
For drinks, they have some awesome sounding drop shot options that seemed like they’d be pretty fun. Yet again reinforcing this would be a great place to get loud during a hockey game at.
I’m seriously impressed with their lack of beer selection! It’s like the Derek Zoolander Beer Calendar in there. «Bud? Coors? Canadian?! They’re the same beer! Doesn’t anyone notice this?! I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!!»
With 20+ taps you’d think they’d slip up and accidentally carry something local (or, you know, even Canadian) but nope! Somehow, they still manage to keep their beer selection more basic-​ass than any bar I’ve seen in a long time.
It’s not a Brewhouse. It’s a Hockeyhouse. Go here because you want hockey, not beer. But also drink beer while you’re watching hockey…

This is now our go to place, but only if you can get a seat. They really need to open both floors on busy nights. I have seen so many customers walk out because they can’t find a seat on the 1 floor that is open and packed. I bet they were so mad because they had to spend 20 minutes finding a parking stall, only to get in and not find a seat.
Being a new waitress/​bartender, I cant complain about the slow service. It’s hard when they understaff and you have to look after 20 tables and try to provide service to all those tables with equality. Until you are a waitress, you CAN NOT judge someone on their service. Unless there are 3 people in the whole place and it still takes 10 minutes for an acknowledgement.

We came here because they are a CSSC sponsor. Service was pretty terrible to be honest — our server seemed to be in a daze and simply did not care to be there. She answered our questions with a «why are you even asking» kind of attitude. But I would return despite the horrendous service. Why? Because as a CSSC sponsor, Canadian Brewhouse offers a free serving of nachos to every pair of CSSC member on the night of your games. The nachos are the same size as if you paid regular price, which is quite large! This is probably the best deal I’ve ever seen in my past 6 years as a CSSC player.

Great place, great people, great food! Shitty beer selection mind you…

My boyfriend introduced me to this place, and I love it! The menu has funny comments on all of their dishes. Every server we’ve had, has been extremely polite. What impresses me the most is that the servers pay more attention to me, then my handsome boyfriend! I find this really rare, and I feel very respected when I eat there. I’d recommend this place to everyone! My only complaint is that they’re aren’t more locations in the city!

The Worst service and food was not good drinks were overpriced. The only thing good was the amount of tvs. we sat for 27 min before getting drinks when I got my sangria it had 2 to 3 oz of drink the rest was ice. it’s a 6 oz glass and felt totally ripped off for $ 6.99 I told our server she did not correct it. said sorry the manager said that’s how it is. No serving or managing skills here! total disappointment. they acknowledged us after 15 mins sitting then came back 10 min later to take our drink order. wings weren’t that good they were so so. But the lack of service and professionalism was insulting. I will never recommend this place nor will I spend my hard earned money here. I prefer ojs or blue devil golf course if you can take the drive there. quality value service all things this place does not have.

Was here last Friday and we had a blast. It was packed (Flames Game) and to be honest at the beginning the service was pretty brutal, not sure if they were understaffed, but we were for sure waiting for drinks. Once it started to clear out there service picked up for sure. Food was okay as well.
The saving grace in a lot of this was the bar manager Mike. He really dedicated a lot of attention to us, checked in on us when he could and was extremely hospitable
The only thing I would suggest is really staffing up for that 7 – 10 shift.
Overall though, we had a great time (love the live twitter & facebook feed on the big screen, so much fun)

Two pubs have come and gone from this establishment, so when a friend mentioned it was re-​opening as another pub I didn’t have very high expectations. I’m so glad I gave this place a chance because we are pretty much here on a weekly basis!
As a Canadian themed sports bar, their menu is heavily built around it. Poutine? Check. Montréal smoked meat sandwiches? Check. Burgers named after John Candy and Rita McNeil? Check!
Usually our weekly rendezvous to Brewhouse is on Wednesdays for wings night. $ 4.80 for a pound of wings (classic or boneless with your choice of over 30 flavours? The possibilities are endless!) and $ 7.50 tankards of every beer on tap. My favourite flavours would have to be chipotle mango and hotty-​yaki.
I have ventured off the wings though! I’ve tried the classic and nacho poutine (not really a fan of their gravy unfortunately), garlic fries (super garlicky but the fries get soggy from the melted cheese), fried pickles (yum!) and the donair pizza (also yum! A close second to Seniore’s I must say)
They have food and drink specials everyday ($ 4.25 for two topping 8″ pizzas on Sundays — who wants to cook on Sundays anyways?!) and I’m still due to try their $ 1 taco Tuesdays and $ 0.35 jumbo prawns Thursdays!
I recommend this place for sure, and if you do come on a Wednesday I’m probably already there, so come say hi :)

The good:
The space itself is very nice, has not changed any since it was Stonehill
The food is very good which is of course very important (tried the veggie pizza, steak bites, $ 1 Taco Tuesday soft beef tacos and the deep fried pickles — no complaints whatsoever)
The Specials during the week are good an bring the people in! Good value.
The patio if you can get onto it
Management comes by randomly to check in and see how you are liking everything
$ 4.25 Corona and Twisted Teas on Tuesdays!
Lots of parking in lot
Extensive menu, something for everyone
The bad:
First impressions — for some reason the lower level is shut down so one must climb up to the second level and let me tell you those stairs need a good sweep/​clean
The bar floor also needs cleaning
Fruit flies (more than normal) at bar
Bartenders — female bartenders seem to care less about female patrons and cater to the males, oozing with greetings, introductions and compliments — awkward and weird!
Before 5pm, much of the patio is closed as there are not enough servers so you may not get a seat outside on a nice day
The music playing could be sooo much better. It was a mix of the worst 80’s tunes possible and the heaviest metal possible
Overall, if you like pub food and that overall level of service, I recommend you give it a try.

After watching two former restaurants in this location disappear it’s nice to see a restaurant open with several other established locations around Alberta. They even had staff in from other locations to help train and get the Calgary staff up to speed.
Enjoyed a rare lunch date on the patio with hubs while the kids were at a party. Our server was in from GP and awesome. friendly, helpful and not pushy.
The menu is quite large and it took a while to narrow our choices down. I think I changed my mind 4 times. Love the names and little muses that are integrated in with your menu selections. We decided on burgers. Hubs went with the John Candy and I opted for the Backyard Blackened Burger with a side of Buffalo Chicken Poutine.
A massive amount of food arrived. The burgers were huge. One thing I did notice is one conjures up images of blackened food when they see it as a menu option. I expected a blackened spicy burger. But nope. Next to no spice was detectable on the burger. Plain and simple flavours. Very delicious however.
Washed as much as we could down with a beer from their delightful beverage menu. Loved watching the planes fly overhead and the small view we had from our table on this hot sunny day was lovely. Service was impeccable, food enjoyable.
Yes folks it’s a keeper.

**********************************************************************************
From Flight Deck … to Stonehill Restaurant … to Canadian Brewhouse, third time’s the charm! It’s not the best bar I’ve been to in Calgary, but it’s a HUGE step UP from what it was before. Plus, this Edmonton franchise is one of the few (better) bars in the area.
What drew me to The Canadian Brewhouse was its cheap daily specials and large variety of wing flavours. They even have DEATH SAUCE!!! The bar is fairly large with two floors, an outdoor patio, and several booths to sit in. What peeves me off though is that they often close the bottom floor so customers are turned away. The overall theme is a Canadian-​inspired sports bar with several TVs and Canadian themed memorabilia lining the walls.
The brewhouse has been opened for less than a month, so the staff is still fairly new and getting into the groove of things. I’ve been here a few times and every visit I would get 3 – 4 different servers. Talk about over-​serving and confusion… I was asked more than once if I wanted drinks and if I enjoyed my food. I also disliked how there wasn’t a hostess to greet guests inside. You seat yourself, but the servers don’t really acknowledge you and it ends up being awkward standing around waiting for a table. Nonetheless, the waitresses were friendly and eager when they served you.
The bar has a variety of drink choices that are a tad expensive unless it’s a special. A ceasar for example was ~$ 8 with variations like the inclusion of a pepperoni stick and a mango spiced rim. Beers come in 5 sizes (Stein, Pint, Tankard, Schooner, or Jug) and starts at ~$ 7.
The food menu has a little bit of everything for everyone including a selection of poutines, hamburgers, wraps, sandwiches, pizza, and wings with a Canadian theme in the name. The prices are reasonable (under $ 20) and the portions are large.
— Nacho Poutine with black olives, jalapeños, onions and peppers: The poutine was just OKAY (they used mozzarella cheese), but I liked how the gravy wasn’t overly salty and focused on tiny details like including guacamole, salsa and sour cream like real nachos.
— Atlantic Canadian Donair with homemade donair meat, mozza and cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions: This was my first time trying a Halifax-​style donair, which has a tangy, sweet donair sauce. Other than the sauce, the wrap was very generic and the texture of the meat was crumbly and mushy.
— Sunday Pizza Special: For only $ 4.00, their 8 inch two topping pizzas were surprisingly good. You can get it with a thin or thick (more like mildly medium) crust, which held together well under the bubbly cheese and toppings. Would recommend going during their pizza special ONLY.
— Wednesday Wings ($ 4.80/lb): Nothing special other than you have a choice of over 20 – 30 sauces/​dry rubs like butter chicken, chili lime, maple cinnamon and more. They came out fast and hot.
— Thursday $ 0.35 Breaded/​Non-​breaded jumbo prawns: Are my favourite! They were hot and fresh, super crispy from the panko breading (with the sauce on the side), and the shrimp wasn’t the drinky kind. Recommend as a snack.
On a side note, they have a $ 1.00 beef taco on Tuesdays.
The Canadian Brewhouse is a nice place to go to if you live in the area. I don’t recommend making the trek from the south to here. Other than the cheap food/​drink specials, I don’t really see myself coming here often solely for the food and drinks.
