The Ship & Anchor has been a fixture on 17th Avenue for decades, known for its lively patio, live music and loyal following.
As redevelopment now threatens the future of the landmark pub, it is also a reminder that the kitchen turns out standout comfort food alongside the pints.
The Ship & Anchor Pub
The storied Ship & Anchor pub has been in the news lately as a residential development threatens its future. Not only is this Calgary classic consistently winning best patio awards for its lively outdoor space, it’s a home for live music, footie games, punk rock bingo and has been the go-to hang for cool kids since the ’90s. What many may not know is that the food is also really, really good. The Ship Burger is nothing short of an institution and there’s always a ton of options that go above and beyond typical pub fare from stir-fries to curries.
We recently stopped in for a late-night grilled cheese and our arms were literally not long enough for the cheese-pull on that baby. It comes on cheese sourdough, with confit garlic butter, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, swiss, cheddar and cheese curds and you can add rasher (bacon), gorgonzola or cotija (AKA Mexican Parmesan). Show this local legend some love and get down for a bite and a pint soon.
