The Winkin' Owl Pub & Kitchen

Went on a Fish Creek pub crawl, great start to the night! Justice was an absolute gem! Great wings, delicious Caesar’s and quick service!

Very nice looking place. April Rush band was great music! Nachos were good but should if been layered and had jalapeños even though we asked for them to be on the side. Wasn't busy but service was slow.

It's been a local fav of my friends and I for a long time. Great wing night on Wednesdays. Very busy. The service is good but just be patient because the servers are sometimes short staffed but they do genuinely care to try and get orders out quickly. Worth a visit.

I’m so glad the ownership changed hands a few years ago back to the original way it was. Staff and food improved even over the original. There was a year or so in there where the business changed hands and it was utter chaos and extremely disappointing for numbers of regulars, but it’s vastly improved since it changed hands back and I’m so thankful it’s back. Great place for wings, tons of flavours, wings are decently sized, and friendly staff. Busy place, tasty food!

Stopped in for lunch and was glad that I did. The staff was great and very friendly. The food was hot, fresh and delicious! If you want not been there before you have to try it. You will not be disappointed.

Edit: used to be one of my favourite pubs for wings. Sadly the wings we had tonight were so over-cooked and dry my partner and I didn't even finish them and left. Sad to see what I considered to be the best turn into one of the worst wing experiences I've had. Maybe it was just an off night, but all 3 baskets if wings we got (at different times) were all just as dry.

Great atmosphere, good food, we came on a wing night and had no trouble getting seated and serviced. Nice staff!

Had a great breakfast here (eggs Benny) and good caesars too. Waitress and staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. From Edmonton but will definitely come back when I am in town.

We now come here every Sunday for wings! They have great flavours and the staff are all amazing. They remembered us after & our order after only 2 weeks.
We're definitely regulars now

Wings were fantastic, (they have varied over the years) but happy to report they are great again, properly cooked, lots of sauce, service was good, much busier than it use to be so they are doing something right!

***NEW EDIT*** Since the owl reopened with original management it is back to it's former glory. The wing flavors are creative and tasty and there's so many to choose from. Service is always good. It's usually busy but that's a good thing. It's been great to see them come back to their top tier status for me.

***EDIT*** The owl is now closed but I need to also say that in it's last year the service went from 5 star to absolute garbage and the food was always closed. Sad to see my favourite pub go down like this.

The owl is always a great choice for good wings. There are so many options for flavors and they are all delicious. The wings are little small but it doesn't even matter because the sauces are so amazing. The atmosphere is friendly and I've yet to have a bad server.

The drinks are so pretty and delicious. The croffle and the baked goods are amazing. Service is always great too!

Best wings ever! Justice is the best server ever. She knows what we order before we order it.thanks

I am a very frequent patron of this establishment. I’ve seen a few 1 star reviews here from people (children) complaining about being told they can’t be served/ stay without having proper ID. Clearly these people have never worked in the industry or they would fully understand the laws these places are governed by and the very serious consequences bars face if caught having under age or anyone with out proper ID in them. It is unbelievably inconsiderate and disrespectful for these people to leave a negative review because of their own lack of responsibility. This is a neighbourhood pub. And if you want to be coddled and treated like a princess, then go to a chain restaurant. So when you complain about your meal you get it for free. These people work hard. This place is their life. And if you spend just a moment looking at your surroundings when you’re there you’ll see what amazing relationships they forge with their customers. It is a family atmosphere. If you know you know!

One of the few places you can play darts in the area. And they have a great set up for darts. The wings are great. 69 flavours, and every one that I've tried was great.

Good dive bar. The food I've had has been good. Wing night is crazy. Service somedays is questionable on the side of rude. Servers know the regulars and will hang out and talk, sometimes more then normal. They will also skip tables if they think you're not spending, especially if it's busy. But that could be any place now days. My wife and I are not regulars but we frequent the place because it's in the neighborhood.

Service was fast and Friendly food was exceptional soup was homemade and priced very reasonable a must return

Love there food there it's delicious
The people are very friendly and the servers are very friendly. I feel very comfortable there. I've been going there for 30 years that says something! Great place

Worst bar ever. Protect over served regulars when they attack you.

One of their regulars waved me over and I asked him if everything was ok and he attacked me with no provocation. I had my arms held back by staff and other regulars while he attacked me.

Then then tried to brush it off. Not a safe place to spend you money or time.

Always a wonderful experience wanted to renew my review from 2 years ago so it feels updated to the now times and it's still the wonderful place it's always been

I've been a semi regular of this place for 10 years.heres whats happening.

- Always attentive servers serving
- rotation of specials outstanding
- clean bathrooms
- friendly clientele
- food is served perfect (holding temperatures and ingredients used)

They care. They try. In Calgary this is important as most restaurants DGAF especially during these times.

Well done Winkers.

Great service amazing wing selection and a decent atmosphere for a pub.dont confuse this as a sports bar, but i have enjoyed many wed and sundays here, you should try it as well.

I've only been here on Mondays and they have Pound of wings and a Pint for $10. You cant really get this anywhere else in the city. Its a good spot to watch sports!

No one at the entrance to grab people's ID. So we wasted a good while before being kicked out by the waitress.
Visiting for the festivities with friends because we heard the wing's were good. We were kicked out as I left my wallet in the uber and could not be ID'd. It was 7pm on Wednesday.

What a great time! The food is not your typical pub food, it is wonderful. The wings are plum and you have 69 flavours to choose from. Taco Tuesdays is one of the best deals in town. Always a good meal. The staff is friendly and welcoming and provide great service. Love this pub!

Very busy tonight so service was understandably slower. But fantastic wings. Highly recommend for your next wing night

Wing night is something else. There are 60+ flavors and the staff there is awesome. It's amazing that they are in my area because it's my new favourite pub!

Their selection of wings is impressive! Lemon Pepper had the perfect amount of seasoning for me. It really hit the spot. Service was friendly and helpful, but seemed a little short handed for a busy wing night. Tip your servers, they work hard! Looking forward to trying more flavors of wings!

Standard pub in Calgary suburb retail park. Staff were overworked given the number of people in the pub, so service wasn't great. Beer was nice and there are plenty of TVs showing the sport, you won't miss a thing!

Nice neighborhood pub. Lots of wings selection. Good variety of beer. Has bands on Friday and Sat night. Band Handsome Devil's were there when we went. Alot of fun and great music.

Mediocre experiences. First time we came a while ago the wings were badly overcooked and didn't seem fresh. This time the wings were very soggy for one order, sitting in a watery puddle of sauce, and the other order was very light on sauce. Seems there's not much love for the chicken wings coming from the kitchen.wing night or not.

Haven't been back for few years. Nice to see the place full again. 69 flavors of wings and cold beer. Definitely something for everyone.

The absolutely BEST wings!
Beer is fairly priced, $5 jager all day and a full menu are just the start of the list of awesome things here.
The staff is some of my favourite in the city, especially on football sundays.
Come check this place out, you will find d a reason to love it yourself.

Wow, what an incredible experience! My first time coming out to a pub since quarantine and I felt so safe. The Wink is doing an incredible job. I want to mention the bartender, Kim (with the long blonde hair), she was FANTASTIC! So entertaining and fun. I had a blast. Thank you Kim!

They’ve put a lot of effort into distancing, and have hand sanitizer at every table.

The wings are fantastic. Excellent breading, and they have all 69 flavours on wing night. Some really unique offerings, especially a lot of different hot flavours.

Best neighborhood pub in my book. Great pub food, service and prices. What you'd expect from a pub, but rarely encounter these days. Check out their wing selection

Wings and fries were great! But even more importantly in these times the staff were friendly and followed excellent covid precautions - there bottles of sanitizer on each table and lots of spacing. Staff knew how to wear masks properly. Thanks!

Food, atmosphere, and return ownership and staff make this a comfortable and great place to come to. Covid protocol is also great. Feel comfortable.

A couple of us had a delicious lunch at the owl. Tried the wings (#69, servers suggestion), the Hoot Burger w/ poutine & the Cajun Chicken Wrap w/ Caesar salad. We were very impressed. Burger was cooked absolutely perfect. Server was excellent as well. Side note: Whoever made the Caesar drink it was excellent!

Food great. Service great. Rib Thursday? Omg. Me and the guys went down and 2 pounds each in a glorious seasoning of your choice of 69 different types.
Server was great. Attentive and polite and great conversation when she wasn't doing the exact same thing for the others there.
Clean and properly lit in the right places.

Will definitely be going back. Alot.

The staff and owners were friendly and outgoing. The place was clean and organized the food was great drinks came as fast as she could could get to us.

Old owners are back, same with some of the waitresses. My favorite watering hole is back to how it used to be! Awesome place
