Best Late-Night Bar Snacks in Calgary

When it’s past midnight and you’ve had a few drinks, a German-style pretzel or Guinness onion rings can really hit the spot.

Bottlescrew Bill’s Pub

The five-item, blowout pub platter beckons at Bill’s, but the Cajun-seasoned salmon tacos are the wise choice here.

Serving until: 1:30 a.m., Monday to Saturday

140 10 Ave. S.W., 403-263-7900, bottlescrewbill.com, @bottlescrewbill

James Joyce

Go Irish with Ballycastle bacon bites and Guinness onion rings at The Joyce. A great excuse to order another pint.

Serving until: 2 a.m., Tuesday to Saturday

114 8 Ave. S.W., 403-262-0708, jamesjoycepub.com, @jamesjoyceyyc

National Beer Hall

How can you resist the Scotch eggs at the National Beer Halls? (There are now four of them.) Scotch eggs are the perfect after-midnight snack. (Has anyone ever eaten one before midnight?)

Serving until: midnight every day

550 17 Ave. S.W., 403-229-0226, plus three other locations, ntnl.ca

Rose & Crown

At the Rose & Crown the nachos are always a treat, layered with cheesy goodness and piled high on the plate. The wings are no slouch, either.

Serving until: 1 a.m.

1503 4 St. S.W., 403-244-7757, roseandcrowncalgary.ca,@roseandcrownyyc

Ship & Anchor

The Ship’s hand-cut fries topped with cheese curds and gravy, homage to poutine, are a hearty, and slightly greasy, way to absorb internal alcohol.

Serving until: 2 a.m.

534 17 Ave. S.W., 403-245-3333, shipandanchor.com, @ship_and_anchor

St. James Corner

The hand-rolled lamb meatballs with Parmesan and Manchego fill the void, but try the shepherd’s pie at St. James Corner if you’re more than peckish.

Serving until: 1 a.m., Tuesday to Saturday

1219 1 St. S.W., 403-262-1157, stjamescorner.ca, @stjamescorner

Wurst

A big, German-style pretzel with mustards and butter is the ultimate pairing with too much beer. (But watch for mustard smears on your cheeks.)

Serving until: 2 a.m.

2437 4 St. S.W., 403-245-2345, wurst.ca, @wurstcalgary
