W is for Workshop
You know what they say: it’s all about location, location, location, and that’s exactly what Workshop Kitchen and Culture has going for it. Located in the magnificently old and charming Theatre Junction Grand building, this is a brand new dining and drinking spot for all crowds out there. If you’re not a fan of the status quo then make your way down to 608 1st Street SW and grab a seat. Downtowners will love this place for lunch and anyone hitting a theatre production in the evening will welcome a new place to grab pre-performance cocktails. www.workshopcalgary.com
W XYZ Bar
W seems to be a real theme this week, and here’s one more establishment that should be on your radar. Located in the U of C’s Aloft hotel, W XYZ Bar is the perfect place to mix, drink and mingle. This loft-inspired space has everything including beer, fine wine and a great atmosphere for a game of pool or casual hang out with friends. If you live in the NW or have started taking night classes on campus, make sure to stop by and see what it’s all about. www.aloftcalgaryuniversity.com

This one’s for the curious cats out there and the lovers of any behind-the-scenes tour.

From learning how Fiasco makes such delicious gelato to how C-Trains are fixed when they break, and even how the Alberta Children’s Hospital saves kids’ lives daily, there’s a lot to take in.
