Schanks Sports Grill - Calgary

What happened to this place. Used to be a Calgary hot spot for watching sports. Was there the other day, and the place was practically empty. The service was slow and the food was sub-par. Had the BBQ chicken pizza, it was terrible. It was like they just dumped the bottle of bbq sauce on the pizza. The servers are below average. Would not recommend. The entire place needs a renovation. Also the food and drinks are overpriced.

Took a weekend trip down to Calgary to see a concert, booked the hotel for 2 nights and decided to check out schanks on the second night. The bar wasn't awful but definitely wasn't something that needs to be done on a trip to Calgary. If you are looking for a cheap night out then it's great but don't be expecting anything amazing.

My wife and I met another couple here. Never been here before. This is a very large place but has a number of things: bar, food, mini gold, bowling, pool tables arcade, sports bet, etc. Is a great place to hang out with friends. We had some driks and food, played gold and bowling. Mini goldf and bowling spek for themselves - although there is not a lot of lanes and there can be a very long wait for your turn (especially for bowling). Arcades games are a bit old - but maybe they don't make new ones these days?Nothing is cheap but the mini-golf is over priced and maybe the bowling s well? We had a large share platter to eat - was good except they also filled it with gross Edamame beans - no one likes them and they took up a large part of the platter...gross!

We arrived at sat at the bar and were served immediately. Our bartenders name was Mat. There was another Mat behind the bar as well and they both served us. We ordered Pizza and it was the best Pizza ever!!!! The Manager also talked to us and he was very pleasant. His name was Mark.

An established Sports, Entertainment and Events Bar practically empty on a Saturday evening?Well----scoping the room for activity, environmental appeal, and general condition ----this Bar/Grilllooks like YesterYear!Obviously Ownership and General Management have lost interest and all awareness.The Bright side to our experience was the attitude, friendliness and attentiveness of the staff.Particularly the Bar tenders---enthusiastic and Bar-knowledgeable!Yet working with minimum scale product!Also must say-----great pizzas!Overall---the Staff saved this rating from being----Below Average!
