Our story
We welcome guests to The Hose & Hound Neighbourhood Pub in Calgary's Inglewood neighbourhood, where our bar and grill operates inside the city's original Firehall #3. Built in 1906, the building served as a firehall until 1952 before becoming a community centre, furniture store, and later a restaurant. In 1992, it was converted into a pub called the Hose & Hydrant, and in 1997 the name changed to The Hose & Hound after a copyright dispute.Our historic setting remains central to the experience, with the character of the former firehall providing the backdrop for comfort eats, beverages, big-screen sports, and time with friends. The building also carries a long tradition of ghost stories, including tales connected to Calgary's first fire chief, Cappy Smart, and the firehall's former animal mascots.

Great pub in Inglewood. The building used to be a a Fire house. The ambiance is great fun, location is easy access, service was good, not great. Food: I had a cheesy soup, that was OK. However, they have a cup size for $9 and a bowl for $12. In the menu it says that it comes with garlic bread and it actually came with a cracker. I asked and the waitress informed me that it was only with the bowl. That's not what was in the menu. She offered me to bring some and I said yes, then they charged $2 for half a slice! Seriously. It's not the $2, but the principle of it. My partner ordered crispy chicken burger with Fries and couldn't eat most of it, as it was incredibly dry. So, it's a great place to have a drink and a laugh, but I would recommend eating somewhere else!
Update: no longer the best Halibut-n-fries in town. Seems the standard has dropped - the halibut is no longer lightly battered but comes with a thick (cake like) batter which was just so disappointing - not worth the price now! And they even charge extra for fries substitutions - did not see extra fees coming for that.
Came on Canada day, and we got a really nice seat in the corner of the patio, waitress was overwhelmed and busy but still super friendly and we understood it was a full house, the food was amazing and it was really nice sitting on the patio and chatting.
Have passed this Inglewood establishments many times and finally stopped in for lunch today. The building is a former city fire hall and the decor reflects its former use. The food was good, the service was excellent and the lunch hour atmosphere was quite nice. The sound levels were not loud, at all. I ordered the steak sandwich and my wife had the taco salad. Both dishes were well prepared, with good portion sizes. My one complaint: I asked for my steak to be rare, but it was more medium. It was still delicious and good to eat. They emphasize sports as part of the atmosphere and there were several televisions broadcasting hockey and the Scotties women’s curling. A nice pub-grub atmosphere with a good menu and friendly service. We recommend!
This would be a great pub if they didn't start ushering you out of there at 936pm. I even called ahead to ask what time they close and they said 11pm. Maybe I'm being a bit of a Karen but this is not the first time this has happened and they really made me feel like I was infringing on their time. A shame because I would otherwise go there regularly. The service was otherwise prompt and courteous. Maybe because they wanted us out of there.

I recently visited The Hose and Hound Neighbourhood Pub in Calgary’s Inglewood district and tried their New York steak sandwich. The pub is housed in a historic 1906 firehouse, which adds a unique charm to its atmosphere. The New York steak sandwich was satisfying, featuring a tender and flavorful cut of meat cooked to my preference. The portion size was generous, and the accompanying sides complemented the dish well.
Popped in to try a new place in the area and was not disappointed!! The restaurant was very unique and the space was very bright and clean. Our server was very kind and provided great service! The portions of food were generous and everything tasted great! The food came out fresh & hot, the French fries we're some of the best I've had; crispy and seasoned to perfection!
You know how there’s a difference between a server whose being nice to you and then just a nice person? She definitely fell into the latter. Such a credit to your company. Her recommendations were on point, she was so pleasant to talk to and definitely a reason to come back.
We came here for dinner while visiting Calgary. Great place! The building is unique and fun. The service was great! The food was fantastic and just an overall good pub.
Went for lunch mid-week. Service was great. Food was excellent. Portions were just right. Prices were very reasonable. Parking was plentiful. Not too noisy. Lots of tables.
