Best & Cool Bars in Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium

"The wonderful thing about the CRAFTs around Canada is that they stock their bars with local drinks. At Calgary’s two CRAFT Beer Markets, you’ll find a selection of local beers in growlers or 6-packs, as well as cocktails to go, cocktail kits, and wine. Both locations have gorgeous patios for the summer months where you can taste test a variety of craft beers."

"Since opening in 2004, Broken City says it’s Calgary’s “foremost home for music and art.” Weekly events away from the dancefloor include comedy and pub trivia nights. However, there is also live music on Thursdays, and hip hop-focused DJ sets on Saturday nights. Broken City’s rooftop patio is known as their hidden secret, where a lot of fun nighttime events happen."

"You may see Cowboys on this list and laugh or cringe, whatever your feelings, you must admit Cowboys is the quintessential Calgary dancehall. It's loud, fun, epic and provides cheap booze, but... it's also filled with 18 years, barfed-in bathrooms, and extremely sticky floors."

"What it is: This upscale wine bar in the city's Design District boasts a sleek, modern atmosphere that is ideal for both a business meeting and a get-together with friends. Why go: As one of the few upscale bars that also serves late-night snacks, it’s hard not to constantly return here. Eat the eggplant fries or the chicken sausage pizza and wash it all down with a local lager."

"Locally owned, the four different locations all have their own flavour, catering specifically to their specific neighbourhood. What the all have in common is a relaxed atmosphere, communal tables, good food and a great selection of beer. Calgary has really become a beer town in recent years and in addition to some international favourites, National does a good job of representing many of Calgary’s best breweries."
