Description

Specialties

Standing strong on Uptown 17th Ave. and 12th street, you’ll find the newest addition to the Jamesons Pubs group. On a Friday and Saturday night, it’s common for this Irish themed pub to be lined up with lads and lasses ready to drink and party the night away. Although a first-​class place to grab a drink, Jamesons Pubs also offer an extensive menu to suit all appetites and wallets.

The ideal hangover cure is a perfectly spiced caesar with a side of breakfast or brunch. Jamesons Pub 17th Ave. offers a full breakfast menu every day from open to 4:00 p.m.

For dinner, select from Jamesons menu or try one of their 4:00 p.m. daily food features. Every Wednesday enjoy their famous wings in over 20 flavours or, on Saturdays, indulge in a Certified Angus Beef special.

Want more? Every Friday and Saturday, from 10:00 p.m. we blur the lines between pub and club as our DJ turns up the tunes for Club in the Pub.

After a long day of exploring Calgary and little bit of bar hopping, we ended up at Jameson’s for dinner, drinks and a basketball game. We sat right at the bar and the bartender was friendly and happy to make drinks suggestions and give us the lay of the land. We enjoyed a few adult beverages, french fries and fish tacos. Typical pub fare, not gourmet but definitely hit the spot. The fish tacos were surprisingly delicious (fair warning the drinks may have contributed to that lol). My friend who lives nearby says that she’s been to the bar many times and always has a good experience so it seems like this is a great local to enjoy the game, a bite, a beverage and good company.

I would only go back here to have a drink. I thought the meat and cheese board was over priced and not great selections. The service was good.

Haven’t been to Jameson’s for a good long time. Looks like they have done a swap of all their staff. Server was very prompt and helpful.
Didn’t have a chance to try the food but menu has definitely been updated and looks quite tasty. They have food and drink specials everyday and brunch menu looks pretty tasty.
3 stars cause was pretty average pub stop in for some drinks. Service was good and will go back for brunch for sure. Feel food will either up or down the stars so stay tuned for an update.

As a long term customer of Jamesons I can only highly recommend both the food and the service.
17th Avenue SW has many pubs and competition abounds.
The Jameson pub recognizes the customer has choices out there and runs a tight ship.
The industry experiences a fairly high turnover in staff and this causes blips in service now and again. Constantly training new people is burden all the pubs carry.
Jamesons is tops in my book.
Thank you

Wednesday Night! Wednesday Night! Wednesday Night! Did I mention Wednesday Night is the night to go here? Wing night mixed with a fantastic beer special. What a better way to celebrate hump day? The waitresses are phenomenal. Not once did I completely finish my drink before she was asking if I wanted another, and our food came out quick, warm, and perfect. She also remembered my beer and wing order from two weeks ago, and asked if I wanted the same thing as last time. They also have TV’s everywhere playing all the different games on, so you won’t miss out on any of the action. If your looking for a great casual time to have some drinks, eat some wings, hang out with friends, and watch the game this is an awesome place to stop by.

***Update***
Went back today August 5 and had a better experience. It was all due to Danielle’s great attitude. She was pleasant and always had a great smile for us. A few things were missed but nothing serious. Heidi you must give Danielle, I think that is her name, our thanks, you need more people like her there.

The first time I went to Jameson’s it was a Saturday night for birthday drinks. I was pumped because I’m Irish and I love a good pub. Imagine my surprise when it was wall to wall dudebros and pounding music. Lesson learned. There is a DJ and club music on Fridays & Saturday nights. Somehow, they still run food, kudos to the servers because its a madhouse in there.
I went back on a reasonable Wednesday evening and the Irish pub I had craved was found. I enjoyed a delicious glass of sangria, which delighted me because I make it at home and it was comparable to mine. The cocktail game is strong for a girly drink lover like myself.
I ordered the pulled pork pizza because I am addicted to pulled pork. Its been really hit or miss in Calgary for me so I was wary but hopeful. Thankfully, it exceeded my expectations. So delicious I could have eaten the entire thing by myself.
As an added bonus, you can post on social media with their hash tags and have it displayed on the TVs while you eat. That was fun to play with on Instagram.
I’ll definitely return to try the rest of the cocktails!

St Paddy’s Day JOKE!
This 17th avenue location is ridiculous.
8 of us PRE bought $ 5.00 tickets in order to wait in line for LESS amount of time then people who had not purchased tickets.
2 of us were already in the pub. We arrived at 1830, still relatively early for a weekday event and saw two clearly different lines.
Line 1: at least 30 people deep
Line 2: 3 people deep (when we joined)
The ticket clearly reads «ticket holders receive priority entry — subject to AGLC/​FIRE REGULATIONS»
Now, we aren’t new to how rules work and 3 out of our group are former industry staff so we get the whole capacity thing. Two of us promptly got in, leaving four of us left. Over an hour later we get in.
Only after witnessing numerous non ticket holders jumping the queue, friends of friends of door guys, managers etc. All the while being told their at capacity and then letting the non ticket holders line in FIRST, «to be fair» because they were waiting for SO LONG.
Now, the whole point of purchasing a ticket is to have PRIORITY over mon ticket holders.
There was no band or dancers, fiddlers or bagpipers and we were left with awful top 40s and over priced green beer.
Never again.
Not the way to run an establishment.

I came solo one evening for their oyster night, they are serving $ 1.00 oysters on Thursdays, so I started with one dozen ending my evening with 80 total, I was told I hold their record, I don’t do that often, but was in the mood, the service there was great, the drinks were perfect, and most of all, the atmosphere is great for a Irish Pub. I have been there a few times in total and the service and food is always terrific!

The food was decent but the service was terrible. Very slow. After we got seated and ordered a drink, the waitress dropped the drink and took off — oh, but I noticed a few blonde waitresses either chatting among themselves or flirting with the male patrons. The location is good but given the vast number of other pubs and restaurants in the area I wouldn’t go here again.

An Irish pub which does not serve Irish beer. Nasty food. We ordered simple food which was inedible. The nachos had some sort of strong tasting cheese which the waitress did not know about. I took one bite of my veggie burger and the whole thing fell apart. I had to proceed with eating my burger with utensils. It doesn’t take a course to figure out how to put together a veggie patty which doesn’t fall apart. The coleslaw had one taste: mayo. The gravy was obviously powdered with liquid added on. I could not finish any of my food, which is rare as I hate wasting food. Service was decent though, but I would never step foot there again. Franchise at its best.

Thursdays is half price wine bottles. So good prices. Also $ 1 oysters. Service is a little slow. Server takes awhile to check up on you. Our party started ordering 2 drinks at a time because we’re not sure when the next time she’ll come around. However when she does come around, she’s very nice. My experience here is eh, not bad but not great.

I saw the video of a patron who got seriously beat up by Jameson’s bouncers on the sidewalk of 17 Ave. in the news, and I cannot bring myself to go to this place anymore.

This Jameson is even better than the one at Brentwook! I went for the 3 $ alitas madness and it was terrific.
Downside is that I went with a group of friends and they did want to split the bill. Moreover, they forced us to pay 18% tip.

They blare dance music but no one is dancing. Of course they’re not dancing. It’s a pub… But with dance music. Maybe go here if you like listening to obnoxiously loud crappy b-​list top 40 recreationally?

Had a very good Saturday lunch there. Good was above expectations. Only thing was the atmosphere was littered with overly loud «frat boys»

Jameson’s blew my mind a few weeks ago. My spouse and I decided to eat traditional dishes only. I tried the Boxty and it was amazing. Apparently not many people order this dish and I don’t know why. I didn’t eat it when I was in Ireland so don’t know if it was authentic or not, but I still think it’s a must try. Maybe it’s the sauce with leek that scares people off. Don’t be afraid! My spouse really enjoyed the Chicken Pot Pie and while he thought the serving wouldn’t be enough for him at first, he said he was satisfied.
Being that I was already thinking outside the box, I ordered the Grapefruit Stiegl-​Radler. Another fabulous choice, I must say. My spouse doesn’t like beer but he even tolerated a sip. It’s really light and refreshing. A bit pricey but great for summer.
We were here on a Sunday for brunch, so it wasn’t overly busy or loud. A great time to go if you just want to enjoy people watching from the patio, truly relax and have a visit with someone.

Jameson’s was a quick stopover for our girls night out. We went to visit some friends who were there celebrating birthdays. It was quite busy and from what I could see, everyone seemed to be having a good time.
We were advised that the service wasn’t that great and that going to the bar to get drinks was our best bet. After having some shots at the bar, we grabbed our cocktails and headed back to the table. I had a sip of my girlfriend’s sangria and it was actually really refreshing and delicious! Normally whenever I have a sangria, it’s either really potent with a bottom of the barrel dry wine or tastes like the bartender squeezed whatever was left from the random juice boxes into the glass.
As cold as it was outside, it was unbearably hot inside that we finished our drinks so we could go out for some fresh air and relief.
Although I didn’t get a true experience (sit, relax and snacking on some food), I wouldn’t mind coming back and enjoying a sangria.
