We love unexpectedly perfect pairings like pearls and jeans, or violins in a rock band.
Now there’s another made-in-heaven match with Spur Gastropub, matching British pubs and the Wild West of all things.
Like any proper pub, there is plenty to drink, all in a sidle up comfy hangout. In keeping with the gastro part of the name, this is pub grub on another level. We noshed on pork with blue cheese polenta ($18) and a hearty greens salad with quinoa and pumpkin seeds ($15).
In a decidedly Calgarian twist, large black-and-white photos of rustic western scenes line the walls.
Fancy a pint, pardner? We certainly do.
