The Winkin' Owl - Calgary

Local bar.  Food selection is good and they are famous for their selection of wing flavors.  Wing Wednesday nights tend to be a packed house so get there early. Live bands (hit and miss) Friday and Saturday. Lots of screens to watch sports.Service is hit and miss.  Some nights its great but other nights its awful and there's no link between how busy they are and the quality of service.Last time I went the server spilt a glass of beer for an adjacent table down my back (completely soaked my back not just a splash) as she tried to squeeze through a chair gap that was far too tight instead of simply walking around the table) and though she apologized over and over and over again, there was no offer to cover the cost of our meal or drinks or dry cleaning.  We waited to give her the opportunity to make it up to us but nothing.  We thought that was fairly brutal and so we left so I could get a change of clothes and we went elsewhere.

Came here for wings and wow do they ever have a lot of flavours! The wings were a good size, with a lot of meat on them, cooked nicely and seasoned well. <br/ <br/ I stuck with my traditional medium/hot as some of the flavours sounded a bit too much for me. The wings had a good amount of heat not too much so that you couldn't taste anything but enough that you could feel it. <br/ <br/ Their patio is nice, which is where we sat, was quite dark inside, no windows!

The brie burger was actually very good, I also liked the coleslaw, but want a very big fan of their egg drop soup not their whiskey burger, might have been a bit to sweet and was over cooked.<br/ <br/ It was a very busy place so service was a tad bit slow.

Probably one of the best places to go for wings in the city. 69 flavours to choose from so I'm sure you'll never get bored! I've only been here for wings so I can't speak for much other than that. The service was pretty good and I'll definitely be back for wings!

The beef dip at this restaurant is incredible! Honestly, all of their dishes are amazing. The staff is very friendly and I highly recommend this place to anyone. It is clean and spacious, not too crowded. I constantly crave their food because it is truly great. They now have 69 different flavors of chicken wings, which is both crazy and exciting to try with friends.
