It's that time again... the time to ESCAPE THE STAMPEDE!

oh Dickens, how I miss thee!!! <3 Best spot, best bands, nice and dark! Boom!
Went to go see a band call cancer bats and there was so many people that I thought I would never get a drink or anything at the bar. But holy wow they are amazing no disappoint here.
The food is excellent. The sound is always top notch for bands playing there and the staff is amazing.
The bessssst. Always feel safe and comfortable. The staff give a shit. My mom used to dance in the same space in the 80’s so it’s like a family tradition now. Easily my favourite bar in cgay. �
Super nice staff , yummy menu, great space to place games.
One of my very favourite places filled with some of my very favourite people.
My favourite place to go out. Hang The DJ is awesome, great music! Dickens is a safe space for Calgary's queer community. You are free to be yourself here, the staff and patrons are all lovely. That's what keeps me coming back time and time again. 💖
I've been to Dickens Pub for shows and its retro-ish dance nights, Hang the DJ and London Calling.
The sound has been very good for most of the shows I've seen, and because it's a fairly large place it never feels overly packed.
Hang the DJ and London Calling are great if you like '80s New Wave, 90s Britpop/Indie and some modern indie. The crowd is usually fun and laidback on those nights - particularly at London Calling - and douchebags who do show up tend to stick out and are dealt with promptly or don't stick around too long.
Some of the staff can be a little surly, but not more than other bars. If you have a bad time with the staff, chances are you're being an ass.
Had an excellent time, good food, great people, awesome music.
Great concerts, good beer! Always a good time at this place.
Foods amazing, staff is great, service is quick and it’s a great place to hang out with your friends �
Easily one of the best venues in Calgary, solid staff and amazing sound system, both as a performer and as a participant! Plus the food is unreal. A++
Dicken’s is the only place I feel comfortable at. Food is simple and epic. I come here for the best music and board game/nerd Sunday’s. Right off Bow Trail, can’t beat the accessibility. Simpson’s Trivia night? Sold. Follow them on Instagram for foodgram fap action.
Delicious water. Superb wifi. Great staff. Spacious venue. Appeals to ppl who want to party and appeals to ppl who just wanna rock n roll and listen to some music. Well kept. Classy and cool venue. Much love to Dickens. From a Winnipegger who attends a lot of shows in The Peg. Cheers.
Best place to play in Calgary. The staff are so sweet to touring bands!
Best ever. Awesome music, most fun staff. Highly recommend!
Best bar. Best shows. Best events. Best food. Best people. Best bathrooms (and that says a lot).
Awesome venue with great staff! Everything fun happens here!
Amazing venue for retro music! Awesome sound system and dance floor combined with the “Hang the DJ” event featuring New Order made for an Epic night full of fun and laughter. Drinks were reasonably priced as well!! Could be a great venue for small live shows??
