Reviews for Bank & Baron P.U.B in Calgary, AB
Stayed for a drink, was the only upmarket bar in the area for the day time. Great decor, hope the place gets busier during the... evenings due to it being so iconic & like stepping back in time Read more
Honestly, this place was super disappointing. The vibe is super cool, having a drink inside of an old bank! Whoo! Until part... way through your drink, you find a dead fruit fly. They didn't even give us the drink for free or compensate with any discount. She did change out my drink but the dead fly was probably from the strawberry puree that most likely wasn't changed out so.... Read more
My friend and I came here for happy hour. Wings: 4/5. The wet flavours are quite delicious and moist - full of flavour. The dry... flavour was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I also really like that you aren’t at all obligated to buy a drinkwith your meal, in spite of it being wing specials night. Service: 1/5. We received this Asian girl, and it was quite obviousthat she was new to the serving industry. 1. When we sat down, she immediately asked for our IDs. That was the first thing thatshe decided to say to us. This was before she even asked if we had looked at the drink menu. It was a bit off-putting. Myfriend and I weren’t planning on drinking alcohol. 2. Our first set of wings came out, and they were absolutely delicious.However, we waited close to 40-50 minutes for our second set of wings to come. I had asked our server politely if they wereready yet, and she replied that they’re ready and she’ll bring them out, but we waited another 15 minutes before she broughtthem out. I’m not sure if this was a language barrier issue and her English isn’t that great? Or whether she was feeling abit overwhelmed? But if that’s the problem, she’s been given way too many tables as a new server and should start with lessso she can efficiently manage her tables to customer satisfaction. Mind you, this night wasn’t busy - it appeared that lessthan 40% of tables were filled outside and inside. We saw her serve other tables multiple times before attending to ourconcerns. 3. When the second set finally arrived, our server was unsure of either flavour. We tried both, and they both tastedof Frank’s hot sauce (which we didn’t order at all - we ordered the Korean hot and the suicide hot flavour). They alsoarrived cold… so we know they had been sitting in the kitchen for a while before being brought to us. 4. Since we instantlyknew they were the wrong flavours, we asked her to bring the right order. Again, we had to sit there for another 35 minutes, and Read more
The food was amazing! The service was really good, despite having tons of people from the CPA conference going for lunch. The... service I had was really attractive and friendly. He was quick serving everyone and made jokes during small talk. Read more
Impressive and expansive space. I had the American burger and it was exactly what I wanted. It was juicy, messy and delicious.
Really cool bar in an old bank. So the feel is very upmarket Chic. The food was solid maybe not outstanding but it fits the... price point. Although avoid the desserts. ... They are trip into the awful. But the ambiance and staff make up for it. Read more
Had the pleasure to visit and fine at the Bank and Baron a few days ago. As I entered the PuB it took me by surprise how large... and spacious it was. My group took a booth and even with four of us there was ample amount of space for others to join if needbe. The staff where really friendly and the manager Holly constantly came around to check that we were all taken care of and ifthere was anything we needed. The food was really good as well. Great establishment be sure to check it out thank you again Bank& Baron Read more
Good deal on Wednesdays: wings are 75% off, which makes them only $4.5! And all Hard Rock beers for $5. But don't expect wings... worth more than that! I tried the peri-peri wings, but they weren't flavorful enough, so I asked for the blue cheese dip, whichmade it better. They have blue cheese and ranch dips for wings each for $1. I liked the blue cheese, but the ranch was toowatery for a dip. I loved the design and architecture of the place! I will come back not for the food but to explore thebuilding in detail. They also have a pool table! Read more
