We stopped in for dinner and had a good experience. Lots of t.v.s going with hockey and american football so we were able to catch a few games. We made it just in time for happy hour and had a few drinks. The lamn burger was delicious, I dont too much care for brie but it worked well for the burger. Staff was friendly and the drinks were good.

If you’re looking for the heartbeat of downtown Calgary, look no further than The Unicorn on Stephen Ave. It’s the ultimate go-to spot, and for good reason—this place is three levels of pure fun, and the energy is unmatched. The Best Team in the City The staff here are what truly make the experience. From Wendy (one of the owners) to Rico the bartender, the hospitality is top-tier. Whether you’re being looked after by the friendly servers or the rest of the bar crew, you’re always in good hands. And when it comes to the food, Danny, the "Chef Extordinaire," is knocking it out of the park. It’s not just "pub grub"; it’s seriously good eats. Pro-Tips for Your Visit: * Arrive Early: The lunch rush is no joke! It gets busy fast, so get there ahead of time to snag a spot. * Sit at the Bar: This is a must. It’s the best way to soak in the atmosphere, and you never know what interesting person you’ll end up meeting. * Explore All Levels: Each of the three floors has its own vibe, making it the perfect place to start—and end—your night. The Unicorn is a Calgary staple that never misses. Between the great food, the lively crowd, and a staff that treats you like family, it’s easily the best spot on the Ave.

Amazing food and service! I’m from out of town but if I ever am back in Calgary, would definitely return! Great for a light lunch or date night spot!

I requested fish and chips as my meal choice. They made it quickly. I liked the dish. The sauce was so good and the coleslaw was fresh, not from the bag. I liked chips too. I went there on Sunday and the restaurant wasn't crowded. The waitress gave just only one menu for the 2 of us. And I was thinking that I needed the menu too.
