RunPigRun Urban Eatery & Bar - Calgary, Alberta

We visited on a Thursday night around 8:45pm and the place have a bartender and a waiter (it normal for Thursday night to have less staffs). The bartender made me a drink that is not on the menu and it was good. Good atmosphere, bigger inside then it look from ... the outside. The serving style is sharing plate and we ordered the feeling cheesy with two drink which came half hour late. The bartender came by our table to apologize for the delay and the plate of cheese was free due to it wait time. The cheese plate was kinda disappointing but that just one plate from the menu so we will go back to try their dinner late other time, because the bartender was nice. Read more

We had dinner here about 3 weeks ago. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. We sat at the bar and we were not even recognized for about 5 minutes. Now we asked to sit at a table but they told us they were all booked with reservations. The ... whole time numerous tables sat empty. We put our order in and the food came out cold. Also, we sat with empty drink glasses after the first round. To try and get someone to take another order, or acknowledge us at all was impossible. One of us is a celiac and options were limited. She ordered a slider which came out not gluten free the first time and then after almost an hour, it finally came out! I would not go back or tell anyone to check this place out. Read more

A super fun time! Enjoyed the family eating style where they bring you dishes of food and you help yourself like around the dinner table at home. A wonderful and happy server. Great atmosphere!! We will be back. Great for large groups to socialize whilst ... eating. Read more

Absolutely love Run pig run. Have been twice now with a group and we ordered everything on the menu. My favourites are the broccoli, cauliflower, avocado toast, FRIED CHICKEN IS INCREDIBLE, kale salad, pork belly, short rib, and sliders. Cocktails are also very delicious and interesting. We've had the same ... waitress both times and she makes great drink recommendations. Run Pig Run is the perfect place to go for a last minute dinner with a big group. There's always open seats. It's a hidden gem along 17th Ave. Read more

Full disclosure - this review was based on our experience from their opening night so they might not have gotten all the kinks worked out yet. Overall, we left underwhelmed. They screwed up our order and brought us the wrong food. The salad was soaked in dressing and the pulled pork ... was a little bit on the dry side. The pasta was slightly undercooked but still tasted good and the pasta sauce was too sweet. The bits of pork in the salad and pasta were tasty but for a place that builds their menu completely around pork there wasn't much of it to be found on these two items. Prices are a little steep for what you get despite the trendy location. Portion size is OK but not great. Service was very friendly but very experienced. Atmosphere is really good - great decor but extremely loud, even at less than half capacity. Good outdoor seating on street level and good cocktail and wine selection but very little non-alcoholic selection (4 items plus water). They do have WiFi but it's almost impossible to get the password. Cool place but not the experience we were expecting. Read more
