Lovely garden, good food

The outside of this place was deceiving. The inside is a bar. But step onto their back patio and it’s all worth it. It’s a fully fenced in garden space with seating under the pergola as well as patio seating in the grass with ample space between tables. Dog water bowls are all over the place with toys available to use too. Sitting in this garden surrounded by trees is the perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon, or to grab dinner after a day hiking. The menu is pretty standard bar selection, but a step above due to the fresh, local ingredients and flavor. You order at the bar, and they bring your food/beverage out. You do get to the patio by walking in the front door and through the indoor part. The staff was very friendly. We came on a Monday and most every other place in town was closed so I’m glad to have found this place for the above reasons!

Waterfront deck

Seafood (mostly) restaurant with large cocktail menu. Dog friendly deck overlooking the water and harbor. Lots of outdoor seating.

Dog friendly is an understatement

Ever been to a brewery that has BLANKETS for your dog to lay on?? Dogs are welcome inside and out. Water bowls and treats are also available, the bartender was super nice and inclusive of the pups. They also have a large beer selection. The interior has lots of windows so lots of natural light, clean and casual rustic decor. Most days they have a food truck outside. Will absolutely return when in the area and recommend.

Location in the heart of downtown

Upscale menu offerings with extensive drink menu. Friendly staff, middle of downtown with good location and people watching

Has just about everything you could want

LOTS of outdoor seating, beer was good, and food was delish too (fish tacos)! Pups were brought water. Seating outside is open seating. Situated in a trendy neighborhood right outside downtown Calgary. Would recommend and return.

Lovely garden setting

Beautiful outdoor space to enjoy a meal with the pups. Service was great, and the food was YUM. I got the Rising which is an open faced sandwich with savory sauce and veggies. Will return and highly recommend!

Fun attraction with a great view

Unique ride in the elevator. Had harnesses on my dogs and a tight grip as one side of the elevator does not shut during ride, elevator floor is not flat, and floor is slick for dog paws. Deck at top with great view of city and Mississippi River. Also a historic neighborhood to walk around in. Would recommend.

Just as title says- Path along river

It’s a sidewalk along the Mississippi River. Benches at intervals so you can sit and watch the boat traffic or look at the bridges. Technically there are sandy areas you could go down into the river but signs says no wading or swimming, and river does not seem clean enough to do this.

Cool place to visit

Neat little town with greatly maintained or restored shops. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly (it was a hot day and they let us use their hose to spray down the dogs). You aren’t supposed to bring the pups into the buildings but most of them you could stand in the doorway with the dogs and see everything there is to see.

Good beer, nice patio, okay food

Lovely patio, good selection of beers, food is ok. Menu is a QR code which didn’t have the greatest descriptions of beer or food. The ordering process (via QR) was also several steps so you thought you had ordered another drink….waited….only to find out you had more steps to go. But it was a nice experience and staff was friendly so I would return and recommend.

Picturesque getaway in the corn fields

Very dog friendly throughout the buildings and grounds. Great trails around property so pups could stretch their legs. Well kept grounds and cottages. Hosts are very helpful and accommodating. Great extras like local wines and snack trays. We stayed in the Sunrise Cottage which was updated and clean, two bedrooms with king beds, living room with fireplace (no tv). Outdoor, covered seating area with garden and cornfield views and grassy area. Felt like our own private backyard that the dogs could lounge with us in. Fun to birdwatch. Golf course throughout grounds.

Overpriced, outdated

Two bones because the front staff was friendly and efficient. This hotel is vastly overpriced and in great need up updating or renovation. Restaurant and bar are closed on weekends so room service availability varies. Room is dated, fridge only upon request. Dog friendly so there’s that.

Average, wouldn’t come back

The host seated us on the patio and we did not see a server until we went inside to request one. Patio is fine. It is covered and fitted with a few TVs. Patio is surrounded by a solid fence so you cannot enjoy the scenery or surroundings. Food is average chain restaurant pub food. Would not come back or recommend.
