Home & Away

Service and atmosphere is good, drink/​beer selection is passable, but the food is mediocre and overpriced. Not much on the menu was very appetizing to me during my first visit, so I decided Mac & Cheese was a safe bet. How hard could it be to make a decent Mac and cheese at a whopping $ 17? I have to say it was about as good as what comes out of a box.
I’ve been here on three separate occasions and on the third time I purposely ate dinner before hanging out here. I hope they do a menu overhaul before summer comes because it would be a shame to see this place go under due to of crumby food.

Interesting new sports bar on 17^th. It’s big and spacious with pretty nice staff. Hostess was helpful and server actually remembered everything we ordered even though she didn’t write any of it down. They have arcade games which is super fun and a few tvs scattered around. We ordered a few appies before the rest of our friends got there and they arrived as soon as they sat down. We got supreme fries, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, beef tartare, and popcorn shrimp. These were really good… I was surprised. Although the popcorn shrimp has actual popcorn on them, which they could have done without. We also got a bottle of the Malbec. Pretty good!
We ordered mains — Mac and cheese, Caesar salad, quinoa salad, hot dog, pulled chicken sandwich, and a burger… Expecting a great performance as the starters were so yummy… Kinda disappointed! Mac and cheese was so salty… The toppings added salt to the already salty cheese so I had to down a bunch of water after every bite. Caesar salad. NOT what I was expecting. I guess I should have read the description more closely, since their menu isn’t really a regular everyday pub menu so I guess it’s my fault. The grilled romaine hearts were gross. Hard on one end and super soggy on the other from the dressing that wasn’t very good. And the croutons… SO hard and chewy. And I usually love croutons :(Toasted quinoa salad. Came in a jar, tons of quinoa. Something I could make at home if I wanted to be boring. Burger. Meh. Pulled chicken. Meh. Hot dog was ok would maybe order it again. I don’t think any of us finished our food. But we washed it all down with some more Malbec and some beer, so all good!
All in all, a good experience. We didn’t leave hungry, but it was pretty expensive. May be back to check out their happy hour and try some more appies. And free games on Sundays! I think a Sunday funday is in order.

What a fun place to hang with friends. Music is great, food is tasty and beers all around. Not to mention the skeeball and the basketball games on the side. All that with the great service made for an amazing night with the girls. :)

I don’t know what the person below is talking about, I LOVE that popcorn shrimp! It’s whimsical and damn delicious! Breading is thicker than normal, but it was cooked perfectly and the popcorn added a great element of texture. We went on wing night, and had their one-​way wing and their feature pickle wing — also super tasty, and I’d venture to say one of the best wings I’ve had (breading, crispness and flavour) in Calgary. Looking forward to come out to try the brunch menu very soon!

Our department decided to have lunch here. My first impressions: spacious, lively, and bright. I ordered a lamb burger-​it was moist, tender, and delicately seasoned-​with a side of cream of cauliflower soup that had apple bits and cheddar in it! Service was prompt and attentive, and my coffee was even refilled without my asking. As sports bars go, looking good.

Went to ‘Home & Away’ for Friday night dinner with a buddy to see what the hype was about and it didn’t disappoint!
Had the Cubano sandwich (hard to find in Calgary) with supreme fries and it as everything I hoped it would be… absolutely delicious. Also indulged in the PB&J brownie for dessert which was decadent.
Friendly & helpful staff, amazing food, cool local sports history motif, pro games on TV and fun arcade skeeball and basketball games… everything you need for a fun night out in YYC. I will definitely be coming back!

My new favorite spot. Has the best elements of a sports bar, pub and night club. The perfect balance. The prices are very reasonable, the staff is superb and the food is exceptional.

We went there on opening week, visiting from Sask… atmosphere was fun and warm, and shot some hoops while we waited. Was super stoked to see the skateboard wall at the back so I felt right at home! We ordered a full round of appetizers from the popcorn shrimp to Brussel sprouts everybody loved Em. I had the lamb burger and upgraded supreme fries with red wine which was awesome! Recommended way to go for sure if you like it messy. The coffee and dessert was great but by that time I was pretty lit from consuming a bottle of wine and basically just shoveled it down and slurped it back. I will definitely go again and will order the exact same thing cuz it was so damn good. The music was dope, it was bumpin at the bar and we all walked away having a great night & good times. Cheers!

We went on a Sunday to check it out and play some free skeeball. We had planned on eating there, but the menu was too eccentric for us and the prices were high for what I would call a ‘pub’. When I go to a pub, I want traditional pub food, not odd creations with exaggerated ingredients.
We wanted to play skeeball which is free on Sundays, but we had to go ask someone how it worked. Finally someone came over and took some loonies out of one machine to put into the ones we wanted to play. We played one game and wanted to play more, but nobody was around to provide change so I guess we were done. That was disappointing.
Our server was good and very friendly. The beer was well priced.
Overall I was not impressed so it’s doubtful that I will return.

My friend and I decided to check this place out on a Friday after work — we were really excited to see what all the buzz was about and decided to go during the happy hour… (Speaking of happy hour — we actually didn’t get told any specials… boo.) The place was close to empty when we showed up and we got a booth facing the bar.
After deciding on some drinks, we took a look around… the place has such great potential but still doesn’t feel like a sports bar… I felt like we were sitting in some franchise lounge, I wasn’t a fan of the layout of the seating.
For food we decided to just share some items. The popcorn shrimp and tuna tostadas… these were both very disappointing. The batter on the shrimp was soooo thick and they deep fried actual popcorn into the batter, which made the kernels very hard. We ended up taking most of it off and just ate the shrimp. The tuna itself was pretty good, but the hard tortilla it was on made it very hard to eat.
As the night went on, it did get quite busy and our waitress actually started to ignore us while serving the tables beside us. It got so bad that one nice gentlemen at the table next to us noticed and told her when she brought their drinks over… all she said was «oh I’m sorry I didn’t know you two were still here» how nice.
Anyways, the atmosphere was not exactly what I expected and I don’t think I’ll be going back anytime soon…

SO after much hype decide to check this place out with a few girlfriends 1) the place is huge yet so much wasted empty space so waited 30 minutes for a table 2) waitress did not seem to know what any special were and we all waited for sides of friends to come after mains were served 3) burger was meh, small nothing I would say is worth $ 18
I think this will have a great patio come summer but as far as a sports bar I sure wouldn’t want to watch the game there, a few TV’s and the basketball game is noisy as heck

I’m impressed. Excellent burger, fries, beer (house lager from Big Rock but lots more on tap/​in bottles), service, space, seating, and sound level is comfortable for conversation. End to end a class act. I was there for lunch and it was packed with actual grownups, not a dude bro in sight.
