    Ship & Anchor Pub is a laid-back Calgary staple that knows how to keep things fun with great pub food, solid drinks, and an easygoing crowd. This spot has a lively patio, sports on TV, and occasional live music, but it’s the drag shows that make it a true standout.

    Definitely not a gay bar??

    While the Ship and Anchor is definitely a fun and hopping Calgary establishment, it definitely does not identify as a LGBTQ+ venue. It caters heavily to college-aged kids in the heart of Calgary's downtown bar district. To be fair, Calgary is pretty slim pickings, but even Dickens does more regular gay events than I've ever seen advertised at the Ship.
