Bars and Lounges

Sometimes, you just need some meatloaf in your life. When this happens, head down to Local as quickly as possible. Luckily, there are three Local locations in Calgary, so you can get your fix of delicious pub fare favourites even faster

Want to grab a pint and have something better to snack on than the usual deep-fried pub fare? Calgary's Belgo Brasserie has an extensive list of beers to get you through the night, as well as an irresistible menu

Known in Calgary for its inventive cocktails, Raw Bar is a stylish yet low-key place to grab a drink. And don't let the name food you, most things on the menu are fully cooked

Calling Divino a “wine and cheese bar” is a bit of an undersell. True, they have a great wine list and numerous delicious cheeses. However, the lunch and dinner menu there is mouth-watering – so much so that you’d be doing yourself a favour by going on a very empty stomach

The District’s slogan is “where foodies love to drink” and it’s easy to see why. The beer selection is comprised of house micro brews and premium bottle beers with a few old favourites thrown in for good measure

The reasons for loving Laurier Lounge are almost too numerous to list. For starters, they claim that their Warren Buffet Burger is the best burger in Calgary, and that their Cajun Chicken Burger is the second best

The Winebar Kensington is one of those dimly light, cozy places you can hang in for hours. Whether you’re on a date or catching up with friends, you won’t want to hurry through anything at this trendy little joint.

If there were such a thing as a “one stop shop” for a night out, it'd be Electric Owl Social Club. It’s a live music venue with 8,000 sq. ft. of space, multiple floors, Izakaya-style food, two bars, as well as a cold beer and wine store

Walking into Milk Tiger Lounge feels like you’re being transported straight to San Francisco. It’s hard not to love the laid-back lounge vibe here. This is a place where you can get a cocktail made the way that it was originally intended
