From happy hour with Tom Phillips at Wine-Ohs to kick off the weekend to your last chance to see Around the World in 80 Days on Sunday, we’ve covered all of the notable happenings young professionals should have on their social calendar…
Friday
Tom Phillips
Come to Wine-Ohs for Happy Hour with Tom Phillips this Friday. Phillips is known for playing with the band the Men of Constant Sorrow. His music has been described as a mix of honky-tonk and classic country ballads.
Philips will be hitting the stage at 5pm. Stick around Wine-Ohs for a bite after the show. The Beef Tartar and the Grilled Steelhead Trout are delicious. You can view the menu on the Wine-Ohs website.
The MOCA H20 Show
The Museum of Contemporary Art Calgary currently has the H20 exhibit on display. The H20 exhibit combines the work of Julius Popp, Max Streicher and a group of other artists who are have made a collection of art-inspired by water. The gallery is open from 11am to 5pm. Once you’ve checked out the exhibit, Local Bar (310 8th Avenue SW) is only a few blocks away. This is a great spot to start your weekend. Happy Friday!
Saturday
Meet Restaurant
Meet is a cool little spot on 17th that is sometimes overlooked. This lounge is attached to the excellent restaurant “The Coup” and has a low-key atmosphere with great cocktails, friendly service and good music. You can also order off the Coup menu, which is great if you’re in the mood for vegetarian. Stop in for a drink or a snack with friends this Saturday and listen to some downtempo beats from DJ Cory.
