Dog & Duck Public House & Restaurant - Calgary, Alberta

If I could give a 0 star I would. I will never recommend this place to anyone, nor will I come back. It was an absolute nightmare! The owner was 45 mins late to open the restaurant. He wasn't nice to me or my friend when we walked into the restaurant. We ... seated ourselves and the tables were sticky and gross. He didn't even wipe them down when I mentioned it to him. He told us that if we didn't like it, then sit somewhere else. After waiting 30 minutes we waved for him to come over so we could order food and get some water. When the water arrived we noticed there was food particles in it and also on our cutlery. We we asked if we could get new cutlery/water he said he was too busy. We were the only 2 people in the restaurant the entire time. He didn't ask us what we wanted to refills or anything else. He seemed to be having a really bad day like he didn't want us there. When the food arrived our Halibuts were thin, it had no taste and were freezer burnt. We asked the manager about it. He said that's the way the fish is. If you don't like it then you should have ordered something else and walked away. When I politely asked for something else he grabbed the basket out of my hands and threw my fork on the table. I was completely shocked that he did that. The only reason we came here is because I had a Groupon. After this visit I will never return and will tell everyone not to dine here! Read more

Atmosphere is nice but then it ends there. Bad service. None of the servers smile, not friendly at all, something you want to see at a local pub. They don’t come by to see if you need anything else. Ordered wings and they tasted like refried ... from the day before, dry and hard. Ordered a burger as well and it was undercooked. The time before this, they ran out of the happy hour lager. Not recommended. Read more

Should’ve looked at most recent reviews before coming here! We ordered wings and some nachos. The wings were definitely not up to standard. The first set tastes like old oil and burnt. My friend ordered the second set and it was clearly undercooked/raw meat. They mentioned it to the server ... but she opted to make an excuse then took it away and never returned to the table. There was no apology or attempt to make it right. The nachos were fine as they appeared to come out of a pre made package. The beer was also okay. The service time was also a bit long for the number of people present at the time of ordering. Cannot recommend this place if you want a decent wing night. For the price it was definitely not worth it. Read more

Very expensive for low quality rations. My husband was taken here to celebrate his birthday. Not only did they claim their 7 wings as a “pound” of wings but the $21 Shepard’s pie he ordered for takeaway was equivalent to the leftovers you would take home after a normal size ... adult meal. Absolutely ridiculous. Would not recommend. Read more

Amazingly decorated place and feels very much like a real English pub. Really is a hidden gem in Calgary and has so much character. Server was quick and friendly, the food and drinks were great.
