Where best place to park?

I love this venue. Great food and friendly staff. They get super busy alot of times but they go The extra to get you what you need as quick as possible. I especially love the weekly Saturday jam, the monthly Burlesque Brunch and Sunday variety show. Not many other places in this city have this kind of variety and space to cultivate the arts. The best. 😄❤️

I highly recommend this venue for Burlesque Brunch or the Live Music it showcase's. The service, food and staff are always so lovely! My hubby and I come monthly now when we can for Burlesque Brunch as a patron or as a performer. Mikey's has given us a platform to perform on and we're grateful for that x can't wait for brunch this Sunday! Come and enjoy a good time you won't regret!!! Xo

Another "when in Calgary" location for the that enjoy live music, particularly blues. Although they do have a mix of other genres as well. The afternoon we were there had a crowd of 40+ age range. Stay for the music, enjoy the wide selection of both food and beverages. Unbelievable service, takes me back in time when service was foremost and found mostly everywhere.

I love Mikey's on 12th, the establishment always provides excellent service as well as food and drink. My personal favourite events are the Burlesque Brunch shows. Burlesque Brunch is always so much fun and I'm always impressed by how well the staff manages the event. Looking forward to attending another brunch this coming weekend!

Oh what a night! Thank you Mikey's for an exceptional date night. We enjoyed the eclectic atmosphere, the live music by Peter and the Wolves, and eats that exceeded our expectations for flavours and presentation. Obviously this is a welcoming "home" for all Calgarians. We loved the diversity of the crowd - the whole experience felt like a party with good friends and family!

We have been going to the original Mikey's for years. Just tried our the new location. Well it hasn't disappointed. Great stage set up, with live music, patio, decent beer selection....please bring in more local breweries. Not a fan of tv screens but I get it that most people will want that.

If I could, I'd rank Mikey's 500 stars. It's the real deal here, you gotta come out and support live bands and artisits in a bar with a good vibe. Tim Williams on Tuesday nights is always amazing. Pool table in back. Sweet sweet performing stage. #rawkon

Friendly staff, good food and live music performer from 5 to 8 was very good. We stayed for the Broken Toyz set. It was a fun visit to the past and very entertaining! I had seen them at Morgans before and their lead singer had a strong voice and commanding stage presence. The present band misses these components dearly.

Mikey's On 12th is the little neighborhood live music joint you've been missing. EXCELLENT service - friendly, quick, attentive. Comfortable, laid-back atmosphere. The BEST tacos I've had outside of PV, and really good prices. Can't say enough good things about this place - check it out for yourself!

Looking for the best in local and international music in a cozy intimate setting? Mikey's on 12th delivers! A good selection of local brews, including Mikey's Lager (produced by Big Rock) and a Mexi style menu. Highly recommended!!

It was my first time there and I knew going in that they had live music every night and GD if it wasn't the most amazing rock trio with a great name "3 Way" doing classic rock! I am definitely going back for Thursday nights! The nachos (half order for $15) were outstanding and not shy with the jalapèno or chorizo sausage and were the best nachos I have had in a long time! Friendly crowd🤠.

I highly suggest no one ever eat here. First the steak sandwich was about 1/4 inch thick and leather. Then the they replaced it with their special, tacos, and frankly the picture speaks for it self. The server I had was amazing and super helpful and apologetic. Food, didnt even eat, being forced to go somewhere else. Fail

Honestly- we went for a Burlesque brunch here and while the entertainment was good. The food, drinks and service were poor. The food was barely acceptable and hardly appetizing, the first coffee was good.... But the coffee machine Broke multiple times so a second cup was a no go. So...we ordered Caesars that were quite possibly the worst I've ever had.... And the service? Was poor at moments and almost non-existent, the rest of the time.This might be a great music venue- but come for the music/entertainment.... And nothing else.I hope this was a one-off.... But I won't be going back to find out.

Mikey's host some amazing local shows from live music to the incredible Burlesque brunch, which I attend almost every month. This event has created as much a sense of community as the establishment does. All the staff are happy to help you and do so with a smile.

A great place. We went to see a band, and the music wasn't quiet, but not also too loud. The cover band was great, bartenders/waiters were friendly. Overall, I will definitely head back.

This was my first visit to Mikey's, which was on New Year's Eve. Drinks were a good price, and the food was exceptional and really well priced. Sandwiches were big and tasty, fries were hand-cut, the bowl of soup (roasted red pepper) was a generous serving and came with a nice little jalapeño cornmeal muffin. Dessert was an insanely delicious cheesecake hiding in a sphere of dark Callebaut chocolate. My friends had to help me eat it! Service was friendly and quick. Music was great (and loud!). I would definitely come back on another visit to Calgary.
