Found in the original entertainment & commercial district, LOCAL Public Eatery is surrounded by the fun vibes of Stephen Ave & buzzing energy of Downtown Calgary. Stop in for a quick lunch meeting, a happy hour session after a long day at the office or make it a night & come back the day after for a LOCAL Burger or weekend brunch cure. We have 20 taps with 7 that rotate around new picks & seasonal brews, an open kitchen that brings our menu to life with only the freshest ingredients & highest standards, as well as 14 TV's so you don't miss a game, highlight or any action for that matter. And if you prefer to play games & place friendly wagers instead (may we suggest fish tacos?), there's shuffleboard & crokinole for that.
