Tipperary’s Pub

Waitress was a crank. Charged me pop price (2.75) for a soda water even though we were with guys who were eating and drinking. I can’t positively review a place that doesn’t support designated drivers. Will never return to this idiocy.

I have been to Tipperary’s many times over the years, but have started going a lot more lately since i have been taking an evening course at Sait. The pub is sectioned off into 2 sides, both feel the same except the «bar» side has VLT’s and is 18+, while the other side is all ages until a certain time, just not sure what that time is. It then becomes a nice, open pub atmosphere with generous seating, and plenty of booths.
I will first start out with how good I think the service has been, throughout the years, which is a testament to how the staff feel about working there, and how the management trains the staff. I am always greeted with a hello, and am served right away… every time! They always seem to check on you at the perfect time (pint glass is almost empty, your mouth is not full etc). I have always given a good tip based on the service and i cannot say this about very many other places I have been.
The food is pretty good, I usually have wings, and the selection of flavors is good.(They just started a new «all you can eat» special with wings on Monday, as well as the usual Wednesday night special). I most recently had the fish tacos and they were without a doubt, some of the best I have ever had.
I would definitely recommend trying this place out if you have not already, and take every review with a grain of salt, as everyone may have different experiences, I am just telling you about mine.

the following description is of my experience at the restaurant getting the service of the restaurant:
ordered blackend steak strips. Steak came raw on the inside and black outside. I think it was frozen and cooked from frozen at very high heat. We couldn’t eat it and spit back raw pieces of meat. What came back was pieces of meat all stuck together, pounded out and then stuck together back again, including chewed up pieces. Someone never told these people to make a new entrée once they screw up, not to try to serve dogfood to customers. Needless to say I wouldn’t pay for it and we left shortly afterwards to give our business to another place.

We popped in here on our way home one evening after another event.
It was a Wednesday evening so it wasn’t overly busy. Our service was fine… at first. We seated ourselves and it didn’t take too long for someone to bring menus and take our drink orders. Our drinks took a bit and the server came back to ask us a question regarding one. At that point I decided to change my order and asked if they were being made yet. She said no and that the bartender would probably be glad I changed my mind (I was going to get a blended drink, but decided on a martini). I don’t really care if a beverage is a pain in the ass to make… I don’t want to basically be told I’m a pain in the ass customer because I ordered that.
Moving on. We ordered sweet potato fries with chipotle mayo and the lobster mac n cheese with bacon on top to share. The fries were far too salty, but still yummy. and it is pub food after all. I found them spicy, but that seems to be the norm with yam or sweet potato fries everywhere lately. The lobster mac n cheese was pretty good. It had real bacon on top. I’m not a fan of bacon so hubby had mine. The food was definitely edible.
The service, on the other hand, sucked. We waited for ever for our food. We waited for condiments, for utensils for one of us, for our tab, for dessert etc. The ice cream on the dessert was terrible. You could tell it had melted and been refrozen. It tasted and felt terrible to eat. I ordered another drink (and so did my hubby) and we ended up leaving without getting them it took so long. Thankfully we were not charged for them. We asked for water and never got them. The service was terrible. I would not go back. Definitely would not recommend them for large groups. We were only two people and they couldn’t serve us adequately.

Meh. is how I would describe Tipperarys. Nothing that stands out as horrible about this place, but also nothing that really makes me want to go back.
I’ve given this place a few tries and have never been overly impressed. The only reason I even bothered to return for a second and third time was due to the fact that I had a couple coupons for the place.
On my lunch visit to Tipperary’s today I went with the lasagna and a beer. The lasagna was ok but nothing standout about it. The garlic bread that came with it wasn’t garlicy at all and was pretty unappealing, and this is coming from someone who loves garlic bread! The service was decent and I don’t really have any complaints there but again, nothing really stand out about it.
Would I return to Tipperarys? Maybe if meeting friends there or something and to try the pizza which from reading some of the other reviews sounds like it might be the best option.

Went there on Sunday the World Cup. Took 20 minutes before a server took our drink order. Said the management decided to cut staff today??? insteading of adding more for the game… hmm…Then took another hour to get our meal. Food was ok once we got it.

My go-​to for nachos and a lot of other pub food. Always delicious and service is generally great. Parking is not great. Fortunately, it is close to the train. Highly recommend Tips.

Tipp’s is your average pub, but it doesn’t go beyond that.
Food: The food selection is typical pub fare. The preparation and presentation is decent on most items but some, like tacos leave something to be desired in both flavor and quality.
Beer: Typical domestic selection. Try to hit the specials since the normal prices are on the high side: $ 7/​pint. That being said the specials are usually not that «special» either.
Service: Waitresses are friendly but on the slow/​inefficient side…
Lot’s of TVs to watch the games and 2 pool tables.

Tipperary’s is A-​OK, and, well… that’s about it.
They have the average menu items, at the average quality, at the average price you’d expect. They play your average music mix at an average volume you’d expect. They have all the average beer you would expect no more, and no less.
OK… The PIZZA is a standout. Enough to make the whole place stand out? Well, it’s doubtful. But the pie is stone oven cooked, and the herb infused crust stays crisp, even under the layers and layers of ham, sausage, and pepperoni on the Meat Lovers. Pretty impressive.
While I don’t have any reason not to go to Tipperary’s, I’m also struggling to find anything that makes it special.

Tipperrary’s is our usual hangout spot after dodgeball on Weds night. Yes, I said it. Dodgeball.
Lots of seating in the pub. Over 25 flavours to choose from for wings. But they aren’t that great to be honest. Melrose still takes the win in terms of awesome wings for Weds.
On to the beer… the selection is all right.
But as the cliché goes, «It’s not bad… but it’s not great.»

Well it’s a pub alright.
First off, I don’t really have anything against Tipperary’s. That being said, it never really gave me a reason to like it either. I came here for a birthday party and was pleased there was a lot of seating until I looked at the menu. It was pretty much everything I expected to see for about the prices I thought was normal. Nothing was cheap or even really that original. The service was alright from a waitress who seemed like she just wanted to do her job.
It’s an okay place, but I don’t really see a reason to come back.

Average quality food, usually reasonable service, dark interior. Why four stars? The pizza is one of the best parlour style pizzas in town, with a thick crust that is cooked up nicely crispy on the bottom, a zesty sauce, and generous toppings (meat lover’s is highly recommended) without being too greasy. Best of all, on Tuesday evenings they are half price!

Ah good ol’ Tipps. I’m actually surprised I have yet to review this or check in, as we’re here way too often. Def a local watering hole for us and some friends. If there is an event we always have the back room, or we’ll come for wing night.
Sadly I can’t eat too much here, but I can drink so that is really all that matters and they have good fries! HAHA.
it’s typical pub, it’s broken into two sides, one more lounge with VLT’s and so forth. It’s a good place if you’re in the area and looking for some quick eats.

Went on a Saturday afternoon. We had a very pleasant experience. The atmosphere was comfortable and the staff was good. The service was a little slow but not too bad. The fish and chips were exceptional. My husband tried the bacon/​mushroom mac and cheese and he said it was good but there was almost no bacon or mushrooms in it.
Over all it was a good experience and I look forward to returning.

I’ve been here three times on Thursday happy hour, so I’m just judging for that time and the dish we always share when there. On Thursday it is two bucks for a plate of buffalo Parmesan ribs… They are excellent and 12 bucks normal price. Anytime I’ve been there I’ve had fast friendly service… I’ll go back…
If you’re single like me… It’s not a place to stay the evening in hopes of meeting someone.

Ordered the perogies… looked good but was tricked. They were displayed nicely but they were all burnt on the other side. We got another plate. When we got the bill it was indicated as comp‘d but then billed again. Dark irish pub the way I like it except the food in the irish pubs I frequent is really good.

I would not go here again. My husband and I seated ourselves and waited approximately 15 minutes before we were even acknowledged. Our food took another 45 minutes. Throughout dinner we were accosted by flies. At one point, a fly took to my beer and proceeded to meet it’s death inside of it. The server offered to replace the drink, but by then we were done our meal and I said no that’s fine. She didn’t take it off of our bill so we asked for it to be taken off since I had only drank ½ of it before the fly flew in it and she checked in with us again. She asked me if the fly was in there before which was weird. I wouldn’t have drank it if it was… Anyways she finally got it off. But overall it took forever to get served, forever to get our food — steak sandwich and bison burger, and forever to even pay!

Not impressed.
Unfortunately I need to update my previous great review of Tipperary’s. I usually only come here for the wing special on Wednesday, but I work out of town and am never home on Wednesday’s. Last night was the first time in a while I’ve been home, so we ventured over to Tipp’s in hopes we would have some delicious, cheap wings.
It was very busy when we arrived, which was to be expected. We weren’t really acknowledged when we walked in, but we quickly found a table and a waitress tended to us right away. We ordered drinks and waited, I went to the bathroom and returned, waited some more. Finally our drinks arrived. At this point we ordered our food. Our wings took a VERY long time. About 45 minutes after sitting down, we got our food. The wings were awesome, as usual, and after a couple more drinks we asked for our bill. SHE TOOK MY HALF FULL DRINK WITH HER! WTF?! I said bring the bill, not I’m done with my drink. Once she brought the bill, we knew it would take forever for her to come back so we went over to the bar to pay. Another waitress ended up taking our payment and our waitress didn’t even acknowledge us leaving, no ‘thank you!’ or ‘have a good night!’.
I do find the food at Tipperary’s to be good. But the service needs a MAJOR change before I’ll come back or recommend this place to others. Sadly, two regular customers left disappointed and probably won’t return for a while.

I challenge you to find a better Happy Hour in Calgary than at Tipperary’s Pub. From 3−6PM every day and 10AM-​8PM on Sundays, you can get domestic & import bottles, domestic & hand crafted draught, cocktails & all bar well spirits for $ 3.75. They even offer $ 1.50 off all premium, import draught and premium wine during Happy Hour as well.

The search for a great Irish pub in Calgary does not end at Tipperary’s. I’m not sure it should even start there. There’s little evidence of any Irish-​inspired dishes on the menu. Instead there are pictures of scantily-​clad women that might make sense at the kitchen of a rundown strip club, but not here. It appears the owners borrowed the menus and figured nobody would be able to tell the difference.
I’ve been there a few times and have yet to receive a decent meal. It has never been particularly appetizing, nor has it ever been served the way I ordered it. Every time I’ve eaten there, the servers tried their best to make me feel like I was inconveniencing them by offering them money for goods and services.
The lack of Irish meals makes sense now if they’re just calling it Tipperary’s Pub, dropping the word Irish from the name. That’s a step in the right direction, but then what’s with the shamrocks everywhere?
The place does attract a fair crowd of locals on weekend nights to watch sports and knock back a few. Go there if you find yourself in the area and are craving a cold beer, but avoid the food.
