    Not to be confused with the Derby of England (that is also pronounced "dar-bee"), this pub pays homage to the magestic beast of the West, the horse. Appropriately located in the hometown of the Calgary Stampede, relics and effigies paying homage to equine sport are littered throughout the pub from the coat-of-arms to the bronzed polo jockey to the friendly portrait of the red-coat rider tipping his hat to local patrons all to create an air of country gentrification.

    A beautiful pool table with an array of cues (should you be challenged to a duel) is on hand to prove your mastery of this old boy’s game. Of course, if you leave the table in shame an assortment of beers are on tap to numb the pain your ego has suffered. The menu is enhanced by drink specials throughout the week, and the Sunday All-Day Happy Hour guarantees a good Monday (try not to convince yourself otherwise.

    Pleasantly surprised with the venue when visited The Darby Arms for the first time. Open with nice layout, large games room and large banquet room that lends itself for any occasion. My first choice for flames game watching in Calgary's SE. We had a hockey team fundraiser for 150 people that we were extremely happy with.
    24 beers on tap any martini you can possibly want and an extensive food menu that resembles fine dining and not the usual pub fare complete the offerings of the Darby Arms. I leave in Evergreen but I don't mind the drive. One of the best Pubs if not the best Pub in the city. A must visit.
