Calgary Cheap Eats: Daily specials to get you through the week on a budget

Jul 27 2016, 12:17 am

With Alberta’s economy in a bit of slump, it’s hard to go out and eat and drink while spending less than $20. So we are working with our pals at YYC Specials to bring you weekly articles on the best places to eat, but more importantly the cheapest places to eat in Calgary.

Monday: Coach & Horses Ale Room

Just off Macloed Trail and Millrise Blvd, Coach & Horses is a modern pub with daily specials that will make your stomach full but your wallet light. Their signature special is on Monday, where the Steak Sandwiches with side are only $4.95. You won’t go home disappointed.

Tuesday: Añejo Restaurant

If you love happy hour, and appreciate Mexican cuisine, Añejo Restaurant is the place for you. Their daily happy hour from 3 to 5 p.m. features half price on all Tequilas and tacos plus $5 margarita and beers. Be sure to be there early as this hot spot fills up fast!

Wednesday: Bootleggers Sports Bar/Grill

Wednesday is typically known as wing day in Calgary. Most places have wing specials including Bootleggers where wings are only 45 cents a wing, but what makes this place stand out is that they have over 50 flavours including fan favourites Whiskey BBQ and Chipotle Mango. One would definitely have to come back if they want to try all the flavours.
