Local 522 Public Tavern & Kitchen Ltd — Restaurant in Calgary

Went there for an event. *Did not try the food *

Bouncers constantly making rude remarks to people who were walking in and out from the club. I know they have a job to keep things in control, but talking down to customers, and eyeing up women as they enter is another thing. It's unprofessional.

For instance. Someone was smoking too close to the door and the bouncer raised his voice to tell him to step aside. Which he then did. (Which is completely fine)

But then as he walked back in the bouncer stood in front of him and said condescendingly. "now what did you learn?" And Wouldn't let ANYONE through until til the guy apologized for making a simple mistake?

I even felt uncomfortable as a bystander..

If they're this stressed out on such a calm night I wouldn't want to step foot in there when it's busy.

Other than that the bar staff were pretty good. Very attentive.

But I don't see myself returning..

Especially when Calgary's night life has so much...

This place is great. They're a great weekday establishment for the white or blue collar either, and they also rent out they're space for Friday/Saturday events. We just had one there and it was great. The manager was awesome to work with and the bar staff did a good job. They may not have 50 beers on tap like the other hipster bars, but they have a good selection, great location, and ran by...

Great service and drinks, but holy the prices! $16-18 dollars for 3 tacos that are 80% lettuce... I'd be happy to pay if they were filling and tasty, but a mouth full of lettuce at that price has you over a barrel. Waitresses are smoking hot if that's your thing. Maybe they need to rip you off on the prices to hire them? hmm, lettuce filled food...
