Bottlescrew Bill's Pub and Buzzards Restaurant & Bar Reviews

This place is a joke, would never recommend to ANYONE.

It's usually pretty quiet here but there is a decent range of drinks and good staff.

Amazing selection of beer and extremely friendly staff!

The staff is amazing and welcoming and goes above and beyond. Passport is so fun. For anyone returning. Food is amazing and good prices, central. Love this place more then any other.

Service was Excellent, food was Great, could do without screaming babies in the bar, bad parenting for other persons to endure.

Why would writers go to starbuckeys all day to work on their scripts when there's $3 full pints of beer here at 3pm to create truly glorious blabberings?! Be a proper writer already and drink your lonely tears away in the middle of the day. Dont kid yourself, you weren't writing anything of value at starbucks, either.
And this place has a lot more world flavour options.

Amazing deals! Great food! Friendly atmosphere and the nicest staff! Definitely would revisit and recommend!

What you would expect, and nothing less. Beer is slightly overpriced though.

I thought it was a good pub until my friend told me they ordered him out....something concerning a former waitress. I think its a race thing, wont be going there anytime soon.

I'm so mad right now. I have never had anything bad off the menu until today. The butter chicken is inedible. The amount of salt is disgusting. I hate wasting my money, but this is going in the trash. I had my dinner date try it to make sure I wasn't losing my mind; they were repulsed. Feels like i just rinsed my mouth out with salt water.

Great atmosphere, good beer, but the food wasn't that great. Service was great and the wait staff were friendly. We were there in the mid-afternoon which may account for the sub-par food, but I dont know... I had the butter chicken and a couple of pieces of chicken were not properly deboned. The sauce was fine, and the rice was ok, but the naan bread disappointed - there was only 4 tiny oval pieces. My wife's fish and chips was nicely crisped, and she said the fries were really good but she really didn't care for whatever fish they used and only ate about half a piece. The kids had burgers and they looked really good. I would go to this place again, but I'd probably just have fries and enjoy a beer or two and then go somewhere nice for supper.

Great place! We come here every time we are at Calgary Expo.

A beer selection that any be beat and great food! Full stomaches and great times always!

Excellent staff, service and food. Great location, and excellent drink selection.

Staff is friendly. Food is decent pub fare with a very good beer selection. True bonus was the live music on a Saturday afternoon.

Wow that bingo guys awesome. Gotta be there last Wednesday of the month.

Loved my expedition thru the Beer Passport. It allowed me to discover beers I would have never tried otherwise. The staff is 100% I ve never gotten along this well with bar staff before!

Food is great, and servers are personable. Definitely recommend a reservation.

The food is great and the beer selection is incredible! The staff are awesome and make you feel like they actually care about you.

Excellent selection of world beers and the beer passport rocks

Very pleasant atmosphere outside on the patio on a Sunday evening in July. The menu was a little unique with variations of common meals. We had Korean BBQ tacos and Szechuan stir-fry. Both were good meals. Taylor, our waitress, was a gem. She was helpful with our drink selections and made a good recommendation to have our sauce in the side of the tacos. Thanks!

Friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere. Ordered from here via Skip plentiful times and haven't been disappointed..yet!

Good place to hang out with friends. We visited here around 7pm on Saturday. They were not busy at the time and no loud music, so it was comfortable to talk with friends. They also have some games. We enjoyed them.

This pub is definitely a favorite. My best friend and I always love coming here because the staff are so fantastic!

My experience was probably negativity affected by coming with a large work group that was difficult for servers to handle.

Veggie options are limited. Service is variable. Specials are good. Great location

Amazing beer selection, $5 IPA Tuesdays, what's not to love. Good food too.

A Calgary staple for an amazing beer selection. Their food is really nicely done and not your typical run of the mill pub fare. Great place!

Rented a side room for private movie night, the food and service was excellent.

We went for the Beer Bingo. It wasn't worth the $5. Would not return for another one.

The fries are incredible and the hostesses are great

Great pub environment, friendly bar wenches, and super food, good selection of unique beer. All you'd expect in a great pub experience! Highly recommended.

Great food aswell as a impressive selection service of local and foreign brews. High recommend.

The cheeseburger poutine was so salty as to be almost inedible. The orange creamsicle cheese cake was delicious w real whipped cream but possibly the smallest piece of cake I ve ever paid $9.00 for.

Awesome pub, great service every time, a massive selection of beer, and excellent food with plenty of interesting items on the menu!

This place is the best in Calgary! Great beers and super staff!

Great selection and service. The employees are simply amazing. I always get above and beyond service here.

Very fun bar, whether you're looking for food, to drink, or to enjoy a game. Lots of seating both indoor and on the patio. An amazing selection of local and international beers, with over 300 beers from all around the globe. They have an "around the world in 80 beers" challenge which has a menu of beers in which you have a full year to drink all 80. Every 20 beers on your passport earns a different reward, and upon completion your name goes on a plaque along with a few other prizes. Reasonably priced, excellent service.

Have never had food here, but the selection of beer is amongst the best in Calgary. Lots of selection from all over the world, including massive amounts from the UK and Canada. They also have a great selection of Scotch and other spirits.

Staff are super friendly, unless it's time for them to close anyways.

Will keep going back.

We went there new years day n the service was slow as molasses. The first waitress took 15 mins to offer us water or menu but she was working alone and was atleast cheerful but after she left her replacement did not show up for 20ish mins and looked disinterested. The very first beer I ordered- hogaarden was room temperature but no apologies were offered no efforts were made to make up for it the excuse was they keep Belgian beers at slightly higher temperatures.. Really?? I went there with high hopes but left disappointed.

Jan 21... I would like to add that the Manager Geoff was very prompt in making amends. He seems like a person who is committed to excellent service and after speaking to him I am confident that the next time I go there I will return a happy customer.. I am changing my score to 3 stars just because of u Geoff..

Big Jenga by the fireplace! Played with complete strangers. Same great service as every time I've visited

Good food and good service. Great happy hour selections and prices.

The food is a bit meh but the beers they have here are really excellent. Definitely worth going to. It's warm and has an excellent relaxed atmosphere. The service was great too. Even let me try a beer before buying one. Get there in happy hour and you'll get cheap draught beer.
PS sorry about the bad photo.

Great Patio for the summer season!!!! Went there recently with a group of 40people or so. We had the patio, excellent people watching place, beer and service was amazing. I didn't try the food but my friends said it was excellent. Good prices too!

The dry ribs and the chicken wings make it worth going by themselves. Couple that was a rad beer selection and its my favourite watering hole in Calgary

Awesome pub. The food was delicious, (we had the Pierogis and the ahi tuna) and the selection of beer was vast. The server was on point with her recommendations and she was super friendly. Will definitely come back next time we are in Calgary!

Lots of variety of beers, although they might not be stored so great... food was ok...

Great bison, great beer selection (casks on thurs), good patio

Great atmosphere, friendly service and amazing wings!

Bison steak grilled to perfection along with sweet potato fries and a wonderful staff... nuff said.

Great pub feel. Try the food! Variety and quality will blow you away.

Had our company Christmas party here, it was good, not a complaint. Good prices on everything and good food.

This Pub / Eatery has a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The service was good and the food was good as well. Nothing in particular jumped out at me here. It was what one would expect from a pub style eatery.

Not sure what was worse the bingo caller or the one vegetarian menu option, there was one nice girl who had some info... Everyone else seemed clueless

A great place for a beer for after work and a great place for a company function. They always hire great staff who are down to earth and friendly.

Highly recommended. Food is great, staff even better. Drinks are cold and served expeditiously. Try their Ceasar's and scotch. Owner is there and engaged with his customers. 5 stars for sure.

#1 pub in all of Calgary! Best beer selection, best servers, really good food, and they always accommodate large groups perfectly. Love this place!

Nice place with amazing selection and great service. We used to do the beer passports.

Excellent food. Excellent service. And the stout beer was great

Great bottle shop with beers from countries I will never get to visit. I try to go here every time I am in Calgary.

Came for NHL playoffs...Ended up playing bingo and falling in love with the food

Great wings! I want to think Menoj and the kitchen staff that went above and beyond to get me the perfect meal when it didn't seem like it was possible, it was literally the reason I came here. It means so much that they went so above and beyond with everything being more difficult during Covid Times. When everything in life is hard right now they made my whole week better with this. Thank you.

Great selection of beers from around the world. Status friendly. Is quite a popular location and can be quite busy.

Nice cozy place! Nick staff, seemed like a pretty good selection of drinks

February 10, 2018. I'll give these guys 5 Stars. Why? Because the attitude of the people that work there is beyond anything I've encountered they are the most friendly smiling joyful staff I have ever come across in Calgary. However, the number one reason they're consistent!

This is a very small pub with a lot of Jolly people working in it that give a really good experience and always make you feel welcome. We have a patio there. The food is decent. Good little place if you want to drink not much of a view from the inside but hey it's a pub you need to be looking at who you're drinking with

Selection of beer and food is amazing. Waitresses are always friendly and competent. Definitely recommend the dry ribs.
