We believe that a true craft brewery brings individuals together to enjoy some well-crafted beer, eat delicious food, celebrate life’s milestones and most importantly cherish one another’s company. 17th Avenue is iconic for just this reason; bringing people together in good times and bad.

In the early stages of our city, the area we all know as the Beltline was called the No.5 Trolley Line. It proudly carried all the hard working Calgarians that shaped our city into what it is today.

Our goal at Trolley 5 is to continue to bring the community together through great food, beer and friendship.

With beers like our Turntable Lager winning Best Lager/Pilsner at the Canadian Brewing Awards, there is lots to try in our Community Brewpub. We are dedicated to our craft and we can’t wait to share it.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Trolley 5 Brewpub offers a lively atmosphere, especially during sporting events like "Oilers games it's the place to be!" Enjoy "juicy burgers" and "crispy fries" with "reasonable cost." While some menu items need improvement, the "consistently reliable service" and unique offerings like Japanese green tea beer make it worth a visit.

    Consistently reliable service and food quality. Amazing spot to catch a hockey or football game— any major sporting event for that matter. Oyster Tuesdays are my favourite nights— fantastic value! The brisket and smoked turkey are also amazing. Fun spot to people watch on the patio in the summer.

    We had a party of 8 which I was able to book last minute to get in. I heard good things but it was even better than I expected. The burgers were juicy, the fries were crispy, and everything was very flavorful. The best part was the cost was very reasonable for 8 meals and drinks. We will definitely be going again.

    I always like to balance good and bad in a review, so let's start with the good. Jada our server was fantastic. She was bright and friendly and very attentive and if anything saved me from writing the worst review ever. The ambiance of the place is pretty good, open to the street gives a good vibe and the people were all nice, including the manager who checked in on our complaints. It all started with the blue cheese for the wings. They brought ranch, twice. Seems they have some kind of Ranch based Blue Cheese dressing (really, why?) so they get confused. We had 2 orders of chicken wings, which was presented as 8 skinny, overcooked wings on a plate. You're supposed to get a pound, which is usually 10-12 healthy wings. Textbook example of shrinkflation at high prices. I had the brisket sandwich, which was absolutely horrible. The brisket was more like beef jerky (overcooked) and I would say dried out except that it was the greasiest brisket I've ever had; seemed like yesterday's leftovers. The Buddha Tofu Bowl was rice with some veggies on top. They give you some kind of peanut butter sauce, which is very thick so can't be spread on the dish to add some flavour. Others: the dumplings were typical grocery store variety cooked for you, they weren't bad, the hamburger was a little overcooked but pretty good but for the missing jalapenos requested, he chicken sandwich was overcooked so the crust was more than just crunchy and the chicken was dry, and of course asked for no pickles but got pickles. I hate doing bad reviews, I know people (usually) work hard to provide a good product. I'm sorry but the food here is most likely the worst meal I have had in a couple of years. If it was just mine, I'd just comment on that one item but everything for everyone at my table (5) were sadly disappointed. Note: The manager did comp a wing and a beer over the blue cheese incident; thanks but I'd happily pay for good product instead.

    this place is a joke . reduced our 14 person reservation to 4 people two hours before the stanley cup final claiming “ open table shouldn’t be taking reservations”. i made this reservation June 8. Tons of 10+ people tables . they had ample time to let us know about this but chose to do so last minute.

    The soccer game was on so it was too loud to even have a conversation. Luckily I was able to switch to a table outside. It got really cold later in the evening so heat lamps would be nice. Food was meh, beer was good, staff were fake friendly but at least not rude. It was ok. Not a place I would be rushing to go back to as there are so many other breweries with maybe a better environment.
