I always have a good time at Wurst! The staff is so friendly and helpful. My friend and I didn’t like the wine we ordered and they gave us another bottle. They have a great selection of beers as well. I am vegetarian so the food menu is not for me but otherwise go for it! Music is always good! I highly recommend the place.

Our favourite spot to hoist a stein and enjoy some great German food. Upstairs is a perfect spot to enjoy brunch on the weekend. The beer hall downstairs is always a good time although it can get a bit rowdy. Our go-to place to watch Bayern Munich and Die Mannschaft play!

Went to wurst to watch game of thrones and it was fun. Realized however dinner for two and a round of beers would have paid for my monthly subscription to HBO so take that with a grain of salt before making the reservation. Everyone was very polite while watching the show The Dom burger was just bland. Not worth — would have had a better burger at fast food — extreme warning to stay away from wasting your money. Fries were a redeeming feature. The chicken brie sandwich however was extremely tasty. They pulled that one off well so I would highly recommend that one.

Went here for a birthday dinner because I wanted to experience Schnitzel… and I am still on the hunt for a proper Schnitzel. Wurst is a good looking place which tries to cover the fact that there food is not so up to par. I mentioned to one of the staff that I did not enjoy my meal and she just shrugged it off trying to defend the place. The portion sizes are not that great either for a «German» bar restaurant, so don’t go if you are looking for a good German meal. The service was great though.

The brunch is awesome, I recommend all of it. The pretzel is also well executed, along with the bratwurst. There’s also live music on Saturdays, and it’s interactive too.

Favourite bar in Calgary in regards to food. I love this place because it just has such an awesome atmosphere. Downstairs is a very German style benches and awesome for a big group, upstairs is more classy and good for dates or small children. Good for everybody, but it’s is quite expensive.

Food was good but not really authentic. tbh the beers I tried weren’t that good bar one(I got the sample tray).I’ve lived in Germany and they could import better but the waitress was nice

Have been at WURST on few occasions(one was a private event); loud and fun atmosphere, great selection on beer but the food is just average; service has always been good and consistent.

Als Schwabe haben die Maultaschen auf der Karte mein Herz sofort höher schlagen lassen. Die Rotweinsoße und dass sie als Appetizer angeboten werden fand ich merkwürdig. Neben den Maultaschen haben wir noch die Käsespätzle(Fritz Spätzle) und das Jägerschnitzel probiert. Ich bin mir sicher, dass wir es als gut empfunden hätten, wenn wir nicht authentisch deutsches /schwäbisches Essen erwartet hätten. Die Qualität, die Presentation, das Ambiente, der Service ist alles prima — aber die Gerichte hatten absolut nichts zu tun mit Maultaschen, Käsespätzle oder Jägerschnitzel.

Ach Mein Gott! Wurst refers itself as having an Überkitchen. They weren’t kidding! I walked in on a cold night last Wednesday to a fairly busy dining room, while the downstairs was reserved for a private event I opted to sit at the bar. As I scanned the beer service I realized they had some really good ones. I went with the Weisse-Bier, can’t go wrong with German food and a nice brew. I seriously wanted to try everything from their menu because it reminded me of my trips to Germany. When I saw that Schweinshaxen was on the menu I knew I had to order it as this is a very difficult dish to find in Canada. The schweinhaxen I had in Germany and in the Czech Republic only differed because the skin was more roasted and crunchy than the version at Wurst. This doesn’t mean it wasn’t another variation of the same recipe though. That being said, everything was amazing there was so much meat on the pork hock that I could not finish it. The dumpling was flavorful as were the roast vegetables and red cabbage. I also had a small bowl of German potato and leek soup. Oh so good! Creamy and delicious — perfect for cold nights. Would have loved to come back here but it will have to wait for my next visit to Calgary. Overall: 5⁄5 Service: 5⁄5 Atmosphere: 5⁄5 Food: 5⁄5 Cleanliness: 5⁄5

A solid German restaurant that sticks to crowd favorite meat and potato fare at a fair price. Most portions are substantial given the heavy nature of the food… I challenge anyone to finish the brunch poutine in one sitting! There is usually a line for brunch unless you get the early, and same goes for the communal table beer hall downstairs on weekend nights where stein holding contests, boot-drinking and standing on the tables are de rigeur. The south-facing patio is a nice alternative during the summer months if you don’t want to be accosted by the oompah band. This place is A-OK, so as per Unilocal’s scale, three stars.

Had lunch here recently. I had a beet salad and a nice rosè on the patio. It was a beautiful day. The menu was definitely on the rich meaty sausage side. LOTS of beers to choose from. Service was decent and parking is TERRIBLE! Had to pay $ 10 in the lot to have lunch here. At least Earls down the road reimburses you for parking.

Came here for burgerfest and on a playoff night. Food was fantastic and service was even better. Our server made sure to constantly check up on us, even after we were done eating. She refilled our waters before we would even get the chance to ask her. Oh and the duck confit poutine is gold. It’s a must order!

I come here for brunch almost every weekend. I always order the French toast which is amazing. The service is usually pretty speedy and its actually decent coffee. Kids are welcome which is awesome. In the evenings it gets pretty rowdy downstairs with oompah bands and stein holding contests. I only managed about two minutes before I set my stein down. Next time!

Wow, Wurst has really changed!!! Wasn’t this place fine dining restaurant once upon a time? I love the new atmosphere! I mean, the location is on 4th street. This is a beautifully trendy part of Calgary and I think Wurst did a good job by opening their doors to a better variety of people. They’ve started catering to the young up-and-comers and it’s made a world of difference. I think the business of this place really speaks for itself! I was here for a friends birthday party and it consequently was also Oktoberfest! So it was super busy! You literally walk into the basement and its like this big German party! The staff were friendly and even with the amount of people in there the food came quickly. I love that you’re able to just turn around and talk to people. Everyone is there to have a good time and meeting others is really easy. The staff do a good job of including everyone in competitions, songs, and light-hearted games. I really enjoyed this because it was an icebreaker for everyone in the room. For food I had the Grilled Chicken Sandwich. It was really good! A few of my friends had poutine, and it wasn’t really my cup of tea, but they seemed to enjoy it which is all that matters. Overall I had a really great time here! I was definitely surprised by the change this place underwent, but it was a welcome surprise. This place is great and the crowd isn’t too young so there aren’t crazy drunk 18 year olds running around!

After wanting to try Wurst for quite some time I finally got the opportunity to sit on their patio and enjoy this establishment. Wurst has great happy hour specials which I took advantage of…$ 5 Prosecco anyone? Also since we were there on a Tuesday the food special was $ 1 oysters and $ 10 peel and eat shrimp… Done and done. I enjoyed these starters and decided to stay in the same vein for my main course which was the Ahi Tuna Tacos. The tacos did not disappoint and I was very happy with the freshness and flavour! Throughout our visit our server was great and attentive — bonus! What can I say about my experience? Well, it was Wunderbar!

I was here in March while visiting friends in town. I didn’t have a chance to explore a lot of Calgary but if they’re all as cool as this spot(and delicious) well then Calgary… you just made yourself a new BFF. Seriously, this place took the idea of a German Beer Hall and Gastro-house, flipped it upside down, turned it on it’s ear, added two floors, pumped it full of beer and made it into an Überkitchen, Wunderbar!!! The décor fits with most of a similar type of restaurant, exposed brick, reclaimed wood, and statues and pictures of pigs everywhere(ok that’s a little different). Upstairs is more sit down dining while the lower level is more typical bavarian beer hall with long communal benches. My dudes and I saddled up here — because it’s cool to straddle a bench like you’re in high school and you«don’t care.» For starters we shared an order of their Chilli nachos($ 19). Expensive for ‘cho’s? Yes. Worth it? Well! You know that problem with MOST resto-nachos where the top has cheese, the bottom has toppings, the chips that do have stuff on them are soggy and the ones that don’t are so plain their PAINFUL to eat? Yes I’ve definitely defined a problem — Well… these Nachos, DON’T have that problem. Perfectly topped, layered, cooked, cheesed, sauce, My F$%^& these were good! How could we ever follow that up? Glad you asked! Why not some of their signature Bavarian wings($ 7 each). Pricey? Ya. But is a wing the size of a ½ chicken stuffed to capacity with sausage before cooked worth the price? HELLTOTHEYES friendo! By the time our $ 29 Alberta beef Striploin came out for mains, I really didn’t care anymore. I was properly sated and was merely eating for sport or gluttony(#fatguyproblems). Gotta give you Albertans your due, you grill a mean steak — thank you for this! My only disappointment was my $ 16 Euro beer flight. Maybe it was the selection that comes standard with this flight, maybe I was too full to enjoy, but it went down really rough and did more harm than good. With so many great beers on tap, I’d be best served next time to enjoy a whole pint of something I know and love already! Calgary… cherish this place. For the love of god, visit it all the time! Eatcrest Out!
