Calgary’s Best Rooftop Patios

The weather is definitely changing here in Calgary and with that most YPs are susceptible to a little case of spring fever. For those days when the air is warm and the sun is shining bright, there is nothing better than few cold ones on a rooftop patio with friends. The following are our favourite rooftop patios in the city: 

Broken City
Known for its eclectic crowd and live alt-rock shows, this is a great pub perfect for hanging out; especially in the summertime with their rooftop patio. Considering their location it is a great option for casual after-work drinks. 613 – 11th Ave. SW.

Vin Room 
For the wine loving YP, Vin Room has a great rooftop. With large umbrellas and comfortable seating it’s hard to not lose track of time. We suggest enjoying a bottle of chilled rose or bubbles and perhaps indulging in some fresh oysters. 2310 – 4th St SW.

West
Located in the heart of Calgary’s downtown, WEST boasts the city’s largest rooftop patio. Filled with many of the city’s YPs there are a variety of cabanas to chill at, several bars to choose from and the music will keep you dancing throughout the night. 225 – 7th Ave SW.

1410 World Beir Haus
Although not complete yet, 1410 will be opening its rooftop patio this summer. Already a hub for many YPs the patio is sure to be a destination spot to enjoy some rays and indulge in one of their specialty beers. 1410 – 17 Ave SW. 

Molly Malones
Located in Kensington this, Molly Malones is a non-pretentious pub serving up pints and pub grub. The rooftop is a great place to chill throughout the afternoon and into the evening. 1153 Kensington Crescent NW.
