Excellent bartender Mike! All staff seems really great though. Funny and personable, attentive service. Food is decent and they gave a decent selection beer and specials. The atmosphere is really welcoming and laid back in there. I'll be back!

Kildares is a solid brew pub. A well thought out layout and a nice patio set the right vibe. The food was good although a bit pricey. The dry ribs were full of flavour and tender...which isn’t easy for dry ribs. The caesar salad wasn’t bad but nothing amazing. My mom really enjoyed the chilli lime muscles as the sauce was very flavourful. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back because of the prices but it was an enjoyable experience nonetheless.

First of all Zomato has the description wrong. Kildare’s serves some bar food, but mostly dishes like “bacon wrapped chorizo pork tenderloin” - doesn’t sound like “bar food” to me!

I am a fine dining snob and Kildaire’s does a fantastic job with their entrees, their flat breads and their overall service.

The place is packed on the weekends - so make reservations.

It is a well run, classy pub. The kind of place you can take your good friends to have a proper meal (they have excellent salads,too) and enjoy watching the game in a upscale atmosphere without upscale prices.

Really like the inside of this place. Their Caesars are good. Their crispy buffalo chicken sandwich was good but their short rib Mac and cheese is seriously to die for. The short rib is so tender and moist and flavourful and then throw that in to Mac and cheese and I'm in heaven. Only thing I'd leave out if the jalapeños but that's because I'm a wimp.

The atmosphere, decor and food is well above average and better than expected for "Pub food".  We just wish the service was more consistent.  Ironically, the less busy they are it seems the more the service suffers.   Sometimes the service is great and the servers pleasant and professional.  But sadly it is a real crap-shoot whether you can expect decent service.  On our last visit there were more than one table with a patron wandering around like a lost kid trying to find a server...including us.  Twice.

My hope is they can fix the service issue because when it IS good, this is a great place to go.   Sadly,  you just cant go with confidence you will have reasonable service on any given night.

What a great neighbourhood pub! Sunday brunch was amazing. I'd never tried chicken and waffles before. I know I'll have to go back and have it again.

Favourite neighbourhood pub. Most staff are amazing, some of the day time servers are a little slow to take orders/refill drinks but the food is pretty much always amazing. Saturday nights are our favourites there! Always something going on.

Amazing. Third visit here. Twice for dinner and once for Sunday breakfast. Service is amazing. Food is more creative than majority of the pubs in the area with the skill to execute. Rocket flatbread and Fried egg BLT are a win. Plus can't beat that patio view of empty fields. Forget for a moment you live in a city.

I went there tonight with a friend because it is close to her house. There was so much on the menu that I wanted to try. I asked the waitress (who was super nice and personable) for her advice and she suggested the blackened fish sandwich. I ordered it with a side of the Guinness soup. Absolutely delicious. I wish there was a pub like this near my house!

Three years later and Kildare's continues to offer superior food and service. This may be the best pub in Calgary.

Superior in all respects. I've tried all the neighbourhood pubs, and Kildare's is superior to all its competitors in the South. All of the food that we ordered showed attention to detail and superior culinary skills. Food was fresh. The ambience was wonderful, and our server hit the mark. I didn't expect this place to live up to the hype but it actually surpassed it. And to top it off, the prices were quite reasonable for both food and drink.

Highly recommended.

Food is always incredible, service depends on your waitress (Erica is amazing, she knows our usual orders by heart for a group of 4 of us). The GM almost always comes to say hi and make sure everything is going alright.

Worth the Drive!. So I'm just a typical oil sands worker who tries to take advantage of precious time off. Myself and a buddy really enjoy our scotch and chose to visit Kildares simply based on this, mainly because all the other options are downtown.
First visit was during the Olympic hockey tournament, definitely impressed with the selection. ( We are kinda new to scotch before the critic trolls chime in ) . Atmosphere was crazy as to be expected but while we sat at the bar someone noticed our expensive taste.. turns out to be the manager. Quite knowledgeable about scotches, even corrected our pronunciation of Auchentoshan lol. Then he even asked if there was something we wanted to see, which I thought was pretty cool.
After a couple weeks at camp, I was really looking for a "home cooked" kinda meal, so I picked the Steak & Guinness Pie. Well let’s just say the only reason I didn’t lick the bowl is because my friend was afraid I would embarrass us!!
Now we go once every turnaround, and I wish I had more to report. But I keep ordering the same thing because why mess with a good thing, Cheers

Love this pub. They have more wing flavors now!! As of August 2013. The atmosphere is great and the beer menu is good. Could always use more imports. The patio is amazing. Great view of the farmland surrounding the area. Soak that in before it disappears.

This restaurant is wonderful. My mother just moved to the area and is an incredible pub snob, but she could not find fault at this restaurant! The decor is rustic and beautiful, the server was wonderfully friendly and informative and the restrooms and dining area was immaculately clean. We went for an early dinner on a Wednesday afternoon. The waitress instructed us to sit wherever including the very open heated patio. She promptly brought us menus and was easily able to rattle off all the beers on tap even though it was a very extensive list. We ordered the steak sandwich with fries and gravy, the kildares burger and the turkey, brie and strawberry sandwich. Everything arrived piping hot and quickly. I was pleased that my steak sandwich came with mushrooms and crispy onions where a lot of other pubs count those as extras. The steak was perfectly seasoned and although it was slightly over cooked for my taste it was nicely trimmed and tender enough to cut with a butter knife. The burger was very good and filling. The brie, turkey, and strawberry sandwich, although sloppy, was amazingly delicious. The Yam fries that came with the burger and sandwich were perfectly seasoned and the dill dip was dreamy. Over all the food and experience were enough to make die hard fans out of these new Silverado Residents.

Some great food usually. I loved the Reuben sandwich. I loved the fish and chips and most of the food I have had there. Just one issue in about 8 visits but it was handled very well so I won't even mention it.

My experience with steak was also good (referring to the last reviewer who had issues having it cooked to order, I would guess it was a bad day in the kitchen?)

The portions seem to be either too small or too large however. I would like a generous meal for the prices they charge, however I am glad they don't compromise on quality.

Great food and atmosphere but pricey. Went there today for lunch as I live close and just walked down. Very nice interior decor and was nice and new. The food was classic pub fair but with a slight twist. I feel that they need more regular menu items instead of trying to 'class' up the typical pub food items. This also is reflected in the prices of each dish. All in all, it was a good time and the service was good. I would recommend trying this place out if you live in Silverado, but there are better places in the deep south.

We have always been pleased with the food, had one small issue with one item and it wasn't charged to our bill, we are always welcomed with a Hi, or How are you. It's nice to see the Managers out on the floor Shaking hands and remembering your name. I do find the drinks a little pricey, however if your not sure about the Ales and how they taste, when your not an Avid beer drinker , they are not afraid to give you a sample , I've since then found my new Favorite "Shock Top", just wish I could get it else where. However it's a great place for Date Night!!

Came in on a Friday night. It was busy but not full so good seats were available its pretty cool they have TVs at the booths. Food was higher class pub food/English food. Really yummy and big portions. Good looking staff for sure. Carry (I think) served us and was really attentive and kept our drinks coming. This place will be fun on StPats!

I made my first visit here tonight with my mom. Good food, nice atmosphere, and great service! Our server Erica was fantastic, and made us feel welcome. The manager Everett also came by to see how we were doing, and was great too. I will definitely return.

They have a great selection and all the food Ive seen come ouy of the kitchen has been great. A quicker kitchen and more experienced wait staff would improve the experience, but they're new and Im sure it will come in time! Great decor.

We had very good, friendly, cheerful service and excellent food! I had the venison burger and yam fries and the burger was very good. It got busy after we came in but the manager (?) kept coming around checking on the service, food and drinks, and that was nice to see. If you're in the very far south, check out this place!

Awesome new pub!. I checked out Kildares pub just recently and just wanted to note that everything about it is wonderful, from the beautiful decor, to the great food and pleasant staff! It was an awesome place to go and enjoy the hockey game and a nice pint of cold beer! I highly recommend that everyone go and check out this new pub located in Silverado! Thank you Kildares! Cheers!
