My husband and I were without reservations, and luckily the restaurant had plenty of seats available and we chose a cozy one. The cocktails were delicious, as was the food, the service was fast, friendly and we really enjoyed ourselves

Definitivamente mi bar favorito! Food is delicious here, and the staff makes you feel at home! I also won a Jersey at the NFL season!

I didn't know what to expect when I went into watchman's. The stools are a little bit worn and the bar has had a pass reputation of being not the best place to go. I came in on a Tuesday night and was surprised to find out that they were having a movie night. I came in and was met with smiles from both the staff members Jeremy, and alex. There was also a brand new food menu and I got to try the salmon poke bowl. I was surprised to see something like that at a pub but it was delicious. I would recommend 10 out of 10

We had the supreme fries and they were delicious! The karaoke here is amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed. The entire system is digital and through an app. It will give you a notification on your phone when it is almost your turn and there is a sizeable songbook. The deals on drinks were also amazing, 4 shots during their happy hour.

Man, where do I start... I was coming in from out of town to see friends and we decided to go out for karaoke. We tried this spot and it did NOT disappoint. The atmosphere made for one of the best karaoke bars I’ve been to. Everyone from the servers, to the bartenders, and the karaoke host were all fantastic, and it looked like they were having fun just being there. The GM even made a point of coming by my table to say hi to us and make us feel welcome. Next time I’m in town, you can bet I’ll be back. Thanks for a night for the ages!

I really love singing karaoke. If you do too, you’ve probably heard of Watchman’s. That having been said, there’s more to Watchman’s than just karaoke every night. You never know who you’re gonna meet. The crowd is always friendly. The staff are welcoming. Sure, in places, the audio can be a bit loud for the uninitiated. Sure, it features the two most intimate urinals in the City of Calgary (you’ll see what I mean when you get there) but the place has a vibe. I’ve been coming here for a decade and I don’t intend to stop any time soon
