Schooners use to be a great place for drinks and food; however, the food quality has unfortunately dropped too far. It’s sad, but I hope that might change soon! The hot turkey sandwich made with real instead of processed turkey was fantastic.

I love this bar! At first glance, this little pub tucked into a corner of a strip mall looks like a dive, but wait! Once you enter, it still looks a bit divey, lol. The atmosphere is not what is so great about this place. The food, the beer and the servers are what make it great. Now remember, it’s just a small neighbourhood pub. They don’t have an exotic menu or 80 million beer choices, but if you order a pint of beer, it will ALWAYS be fresh and very cold in a frosted mug. Mmmm mmm. The food is consistently delicious. It’s regular pub fare and it’s all very tasty. I personally love the mini Yorkshires and the potato skins. They also serve breakfast on weekends and it’s a really good breaky. Cures my hangover every time the prices are really reasonable too. The servers are mostly fantastic gals who are happy to serve you. Every once in a while you get«the new girl» or the one who is having a bad day(I assume), but even then, they know their stuff and do a good job. Schooners is a great place to stop in for a pint and a bite to eat. Just remember — it’s just a local pub, not a fancy bar. It’s for the«every man»(and woman).

Stopped in for a beer. The waitress was a little stand offish. I think she is used to dealing with locals or the usual crowd. I really liked the feel of the place, kinda dark, but not too dark. Some games and things for entertainment. TVs everywhere. The prices aren’t bad. Picked up a beer and some poutine. The poutine was awesome. I will be back jsut for this. The Yorkies were pretty good, but nothing spectacular. We were there at a weird time, so the food might not have been a good sampling. Thanks for the brews!

Walking in you’d think it’s just an ordinary neighbourhood pub. It has the VLTs, the pool tables, overly loud music on Saturday night. The first hint that things are not as they seem are the more than competent waitresses. But it’s not until the food arrives that you realize you’re in the presence of greatness. The food is not consistently good, it’s consistently great. Our latest order was the nachos(extra gauchomole & chicken), and the cook did not skimp on the hot peppers or cheese. This and previous experiences makes me want to explore the rest of the menu.

I’ve been to Schooners twice. Both of them were on wing Wednesday and on nights of Flames games. Understandably, the pub was extremely busy. The wings are awesome, huge and good quality. The service killed it for me, though. There were maybe three servers for the entire place and the servers are older women, 40+ and are clearly past their prime. They are extremely slow and have difficulty hearing your order unless you yell. If you aren’t a group of guys, ordering drink after drink, don’t expect to be waited on consistently. Would have been five stars, but they need to have a staff meeting, and perhaps hire a few fresh faces.

You know, I was prepared for a place loud, grungy maybe, and where I may not want to be for a few hours … but I was pleasantly mis-informed. A Friday night in Calgary and this strip mall pub was just the opposite; comfy, nice relaxed clientele, pleasant, funny wait staff. Food was good; baked spaghetti was recommended by one of our party. The meatloaf was also worth while. Drinks are relatively cheap, the evening was fun, and I recommend this place if you’re in the area.

Formerly very smokey! Food is all deep fried pub grub. Drinks are good value and lots of VLT’s for those that are into a little gaming action. A popular haunt for many locals here in the West Hills area of Calgary.
