Kildares Ale House - Calgary

Feel so bad for the server here. We sat and watched as she seems to do EVERYTHING. She was working her ass off. Bartender didn't make drinks- she did. She was in and out of the kitchen. Feel like maybe she's even cooking the food. The service is sooo slow because of this. I came here years ago and enjoyed it... seems to be going downhill. Is the bartender even a bartender?! That's our question. We suspected he is a cheap owner who is trying to save a buck by not hiring a real bartender On the bright side, the food was okay. The steak is a really cheap cut of meat but was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was good. So. 2 stars. One for the super star server we had. And 1 for the okay food.

This is a great spot tucked away in the deep SW of Calgary. Found it on Yelp as I was looking for somewhere new (at least to me) to bring my Yorkshire Angel for a drink and a nibble. Easy to find in Silverado (not the town in the movie of the same name). Kildaires ' is nicely decorated and split into restaurant and lounge. They also have a nice patio and a private room that would be good for a small group. As luck would have it Wednesdays are half price wine and pizza is on special. We started with an Argentine who was very good....wait, that almost got weird. An Argentinian Malbec and an order of chili-lime mussels. Mussels were great. The attentive server brought a pizza to the couple next to us and I was all like WTF is that? And she said it is cheap pizza night and I was all like I am down. Ordered the Italian. Excellent is all I can say! Give this place a try!!

Went here for dinner today. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great the staff very friendly and the food was amazing. I had the Shepherds Pie and it was by far the best I've ever tasted and a friend of mind had the Salmon and he really enjoyed it as well. Prices are very good for the quality and amount of food you get and great selection of beer. I would recommend this place to anyone if your in the area give it a try you will not be disappointed!

Well not much to say as we didn 't get Food or Drinks. Saturday 1:15pm sat on the patio. Almost immediately waitress came by and dropped menus and said she would be right back. Waited for awhile... In the meantime another waitress came out and check on her patio tables. Didn 't acknowledge us. Also an older gentleman came by and asked people if everything was ok. I assume he is the manager or owner. Didn 't acknowledge us. Waited a little bit more and gave up. Started to walk out and waitress (who forgot us) said Thanks for everything . Wife said thanks for what? We left. One thing is she did follow us and say sorry. Offered to buy us drinks. But... whatever. First time, last time.

I wasn't sure about about heading out into the world of drinks and laughs at the local pub post Covid. But on Canada Day, my partner in crime and I decided to cross the highway from our former favourite watering hole and into Silverado and catch a vibe at Kildares. When we arrived we were met by a tall gentleman who introduced himself as Jon and asked us if we were interested in sitting on the patio, we obviously obliged as it was gorgeous out. I felt very safe from this masked individual as I could almost feel Corona turning around and not messing with us tonight. It sort of felt like we were the Greasers and Corona was the Socs and Corona was running away from battle....Anyway, long story short we had Mini Yorkies, Nachos, and some bomb a hot wings. Highly recommend, and ask for Jon when you get there!!!
