Great food, live music and excellent wine & spirits list. If beer is more your thing, tall boys are $6.50 every Thursday and it's a great line up of draft
We stopped in one Thursday night for a quick beer and some food. The place was almost full, which is a good sign. We ordered the platter and some beers and the food was delicious. They serve traditional pub fare, but the wings and ribs we got were much better than most pubs. We'd definitely like to come back here again. Our server was good too, and for some reason our bill was discounted. We'll be back again for more.
Went during YYC Pizza Week: the pizza was delicious and the service was amazing once they noticed we were there. Maybe 10 minutes before the waitress realized we were seated.. But after that she was amazing!
Had the #YYC pizza feature there the other day, "The Spaniard", it was delicioso! My grandfather, who was Portuguese, used to make chourico in the back of his deli when we were growing up in Toronto. It was great to see such an innovative use of the sausage on this pizza!! Albeit not quite as good as my grandfathers it was pretty close and I think he would have approved! The pizza crust was perfect. Not a fan of the beer selection there, perhaps some more Euro or Craft beers to match with the original pizza choices?? Overall great night out!
Been to this spot many times. Always a good time and good crowd. Staff are a tight group who take care of each other making sure everyone gets good service. As someone who was in the industry for over 15 years its nice to see girls who are willing to work, and owners who back their people. Our regular girl is D. Not only is she hot as hell, she knows us all by name. Any girl that can hold her own with a table of drunk rowdy 30-40 year olds is nothing but gold in my books.
The Trop continues to be an excellent place for us to meet up with friends. Very accommodating staff, exceptional customer service and great food.
Pulled Pork Waffle Poutine.. Worth going again for the waffle poutine with pulled pork- OMG good. Service needs a lot more guidance though- owners, are you listening? If you let your waitresses talk to people with absolutely no respect, pretend not to have change (boobs don't work on me, either, I have my own), etc.- it will be your demise. Which would be sad, because that poutine is great.
GREAT FOOD. Every time I eat here I come away happy. The greens salad with quinoa and goat cheese is amazing. I guess they make the basil vinaigrette fresh on site. Pizza is really good too. Always fresh and not your average pub pizza. Lots of unique stuff like warm potato salad and waffle fry poutine. Well worth a visit.
Best rare steak sandwich in Calgary. Great service given with a good sense of humour. This will be a regular stop from now on!
One of our favorite local spots. I really enjoy the food at The Trop, especially all the gluten-free options. We eat there regularly and usually have good service, especially from Brad and Gino. If something isn't right (which is rare), they fix it. Try the warm potato salad side, and the dry ribs appetizer.
New menu is here, new chef and we also added our own pastry chef!
Insanely good food; the potato salad should be on everyone's bucket list! Wicked (super hot) staff who make everyone feel so welcome and excellent live music. This is not your dads dive bar; worth checking out!
Even though it's out of the way of the Red Mile by a few blocks, it should still be considered an honorary part of it. Some of the best values for food I've seen in the city - such classic sandwiches and apps - plus you absolutely need to try the warm roasted potato salad with bacon!! its amazing!! I come here almost once a week - sports games friendly, been here for a couple parties, and just for drinking lots on the weekend and watching a live band! Everyone is so friendly and not bad looking either ! Definitely worth a stop in Marda Loop anytime of the week!

Delicious lunch. Home made corn fritters and coleslaw for appetizers...Beef dip as my main....I don't normally eat a big lunch but the food was absolutely delightful today. The corn fritters simply amazing.
The wife ordered a sandwich with amazing WARM potato salad on the side ......she was very surprised at how beautifully decorated the TROP is since their renos...likely the nicest place that's not considered fine dining in our opinion.
Price point very fair considering the large portions and freshness and quality of the food.
Service was outstanding

Lunch was scrumptious. Had not been to the TROP since noticing the renovations and wanted to see if there was a noticeable difference from the TROP of the old to the TROP of today.
WOW....nicest looking bar Ive seen in a while. Laid out very nicely and the STAFF was surprisingly very friendly. I say this because its rare these days.
On to the lunch....lunch was very good ordered the French Dip and got 2 sides ....fries and Caesar salad ...both very good ...fries especially good. Saw the Kitchen staff in whites and were very presentable.....the kitchen staff although rarely seen should always look this way IMO.....
They get a 8.5 out of 10 from me and I will be back.
Amazing lunch at the Trop. The restaurat apparently was renovated last year and the room is beautiful - nice fireplace, comfy booths, elegant bar. The service was friendly and quick, which was apreciated given that it was lunch time and quite busy. Steak sandwich special was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Trop burger is MASSIVE and arguably THE best burger I have ever experienced (recommend adding bacon, aged cheddar, and mushrooms!) and that warm potato salad side...let's just say it lives up to its reputation and more! If you haven't dined at the Trop, do yourself a favour...try it!
Give the Trop a visit!!. Went to the Trop twice over Christmas holiday period. Very good food, good value, friendly and attentive service, great place to watch sports. New Years Eve party - $15 tickets for live band (great), party favors, champagne (ok, sparkling wine, but full bottles, not just glasses) and great atmosphere...are you kidding...for $15 bucks on NYE! Incredibly personal service and make-you-feel-like-a-regular attitude from Gino and his staff make this a can't miss restaurant for casual dining!
Great Improvements. The completely redesigned interior and menu options were absolutely impressive. The "Shady Tropicana" has been replaced with a classy, enjoyable neighbourhood pub with a great atmosphere. The service is friendly to boot.
Great service!. Having moved close to the Trop in the last year I can't comment on how it compares to the old Tropicana but this place is great. Service is fast and friendly. Drinks specials when the Flames play are great- $4 for a coors light. Daily menu specials are a nice touch. The menu still features pizzas which I hear they are quite famous for. I have been a few times and the food always been good- I have tried the burger, wings and beef pizza. The ceaser side salad is yummy too! The decor is clean and modern. For a local pub the Trop is excellent!
The new Trop is done right. Dropped by the new Trop (formerly Tropicana) for lunch today. Closed since Aug'10, they just re-opened. The place is completely reno'd and looks awesome. They even raised the roof so it's no so claustrophobic in there.
Had the Trop Burger(+Cheese+Bacon) with rings and apple slaw. $12.50(+$1.25+$1.25) and worth every penny. Very fresh tasting. Love the spices in the patty.
Michael, one of the owners, stopped by our table and told us about the new place. We've been waiting for a new lunch spot to open in the neighborhood and this fits the bill nicely. Amanda took good care of us.
Their website is coming soon: thetrop.ca
Mr Hand world famous DJ rocks the house on Thursday nights. Good food. Too bad the limo has been towed away.
