Tubby’s - It’s just a bar.

The most bizarre experience. Thrown out on our tails! Six of us went in for drinks on Wednesday and were warmly welcomed. Stayed for a couple of hours, our 12 and 17 year olds played on the arcade game and we chatted to the staff. Had a great evening and were really well looked after. We noticed the advert for NFL and asked if they were showing the game the following day and they confirmed they were. We told them we’d be back in to watch it, thanked them and tipped generously before leaving (photo below to prove we were there). We returned the following day (Thursday) at the same time (5.30pm) and found a table. We were initially acknowledged by a member of staff and we sat down before been handed menus and advised they’d take our drinks order at the table. Having sat down and taken our coats off and got comfortable, the same member of staff returned, collected the menus off the table and told us to leave as they did not allow children in the bar. I politely advised them that we’d been exactly the same time the night before and was told that the owner was in and had said that we could not have children in the bar due to his licence. The worst and most unfriendly, inconsistent treatment that we have experienced in our trip to Canada from the UK. We were literally turfed out having just sat down in front of the rest of the bar. I absolutely have no problem with bars which don’t allow children, but the treatment above was shocking and done with absolutely no compassion, apology or understanding. In a service led industry, this place should be struck off the map.

Coolest vibes! Really reasonably priced. Best staff. Cant wait to come back.

What a bar! New York style in the heart of Calgary. Hardly any beers on tap but plenty in bottles and cans, and staple cocktails too. Simple food menu of hot dogs etc. The Tubby hot dog is to die for, a perfect flavour profile for just $7! The owner is super friendly. A great bar vibe, dim lights, just perfect in so many ways. Severn our server was excellent.

What an awesome place! It's the former Tubby Dog, but in retro lounge form. It's just perfect 😊 the dogs are still amazing. The vibe. It's just what I needed for a long overdue catch up with a friend. I'll definitely be back, with more friends, but it also seems like the kind of place you could just go by yourself, with zero judgement 💕

I've tried to eat here at least 10 times and I've literally never been able to because they're never open. I'm sorry but come up with an actual hours of operations and adhere to it. If you're having private events or closed for whatever reason (maintenance, staff events, etc...) post it on your socials? I'm so sick of going out of my way to try this place and showing up to it being closed yet again (within hours of their posted opening time, mind you) that I've given up. It might be good, who knows. If you're not going on Friday, Saturday or during one of the events advertised on their IG, there's a good chance they're just not going to be open.

Amazing hot dogs!! Absolutely delicious and unique flavours! The atmosphere is amazing and the staff are great! Quick and timely service and very helpful with questions! Definitely will be coming back for my hot dog cravings! Highly recommended, one of the best hot dogs in town :)

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Tubby’s! One of my regular spots and have always had such great experiences. Staff and patrons are so delightful to be around, and don’t even get me started on the doooogs!! Love this place.

Sunday school long weekend edition with DJ Rice! Leave it to Rice to bring together friends I have not seen in ages. So many familiar faces from the night gallery days and finally getting a chance to know them. Bartender Charlie is a good man. I have not been to Tubby since their days on 17th Ave. Love the spot! Cozy...need to come out more!
