PROOF
Proof is the best bar in town for the mixology enthusiast in your life. Carefully crafted cocktails, small plates, and a constantly changing food and drink menu make for a unique experience every time you visit.
MODEL CITIZEN
This intimate, 50 seat speakeasy is a hidden gem on 17th Avenue. The saucy sister bar of Model Milk, Model Citizen features delectable snacks, a monthly rotating cocktail menu, and a beautifully designed bar that will liven up your next date night.
RICARDO’S HIDEAWAY
Ricardo’s Hideaway is the perfect little tropical bar to add some warmth to those cold Calgary nights. With over 100 different rums, an island inspired small bites menu, and a host of fun cocktails, this Copacabana isn’t your typical cocktail bar.
SHELTER
The only thing more impressive than Shelter’s craft cocktails is its modern art and design. A gallery wall of gas masks, a custom light fixture with over 5000 individually hung bulbs, and small tables of plush velvet seating make this bar a beautiful last stop for a night cap — or several.
WEDNESDAY ROOM
If Don Draper lived in Calgary, you would probably find him deep into a scotch at a table in a dimly lit corner of the Wednesday Room’s basement bar. The menu is a varied selection of cuisines in a share style and features several finger foods to accompany your cocktails. With a swinging 60’s feel and wood paneling as far as the eye can see, you definitely need to check out this downtown gem for your next date night.
BAR ANNABELLE
Bar Annabelle is a quirky smorgasbord of flavours with a simple, common thread holding it together: incredible taste. With a varied selection of wine, Japanese whiskey, gin, and cocktails, a tapas menu from sister restaurant Blink, and a vintage record collection providing the soundtrack, this hip little bar is the most delectable identity crisis in town.
