Best Nightlife 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."

" Above old Electric Avenue (paddywagon central in the ’90s), this venue makes 95 per cent of its menu from scratch and serves cauliflower wings so wicked they even outsell the chicken ones."

"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."

"This Calgary institution informs us they their patios are open all year long and the heaters will be on over the winter. Whether Calgarians are willing to brave the cold sitting on the patio is entirely up to them. Definitely worth a visit for the Ship & Anchor Eggnog supporting charity."

"The Ship’s Punk Rock Bingo is not your grandma’s bingo night. The pints are flowing and the prizes are an odd assortment of items that can include retro board games and nerdy memorabilia. The lively atmosphere makes for a memorable night out."

"The frankly ugly Ship is a classic Calgary institution – an all-time favorite of university students and indie music fans. With an abundance of beers on tap, the shadowy interior is a cozy winter hideaway, while..."

"Madison 1212 in Inglewood, not only has primo pre-lunch, post-breakfast food, and an adorable patio, they also have the cheapest mimosa’s in the city.

"Mikey’s closed its Sunalta location and is now based out of its Beltline location. The venue has blues and roots music every day and serves lunch, dinner and a weekend brunch."

"Model Milk put itself on the map after placing second on enRoute magazine’s 2012 list of best new restaurants, one of Canada’s most esteemed restaurant rankings. Since then, chef and owner Justin Leboe has become a household name for Calgarians who love food. Model Milk is all about local ingredients with flair."

"Starting my circuit of trying the "top" or "highly recommended" restaurants in Calgary according to google and Yelp. Model Milk has some really good vibes -…”more"

"Any restaurant that offers a Kids Eat Free day is a winner in my books, and The Park Kitchen and Bar has theirs on Tuesdays. Just looking at photos of their food is enough to make your mouth water, so you can pretty much imagine how delicious it actually tastes. Vegetarian, Vegan, and Gluten Free options are available, so even family members with dietary restrictions will leave The Park more than satisfied."

"Knoxville Tavern is a notorious big-room, traditional take on what you might imagine if you think of the “nightclub”. Situated along 9th avenue, which separates downtown from uptown, you’ll find dozens of cabs outside, and revellers darting across the street to jump in the weekend line that always signifies tons of people are there and ready to party. Grab a hotdog from the vendors outside while you wait, and make sure you’re ready for a big night, full of college students, multiple bars, country and Top 40 music."

"Knoxville’s Tavern is one of the best places in Calgary if you want to enjoy late-night drinking. Enjoy some of the special drinks at Knoxville’s Tavern, while listening to some country music. There are only a few places in Calgary to enjoy late-night drinking with your friends and this is one of them."

"Clubzone says Knoxville’s Tavern is where Calgary goes to party. It’s easy to see why, with weekly ladies nights, as well as student nights that feature draft beer for a ridiculous 75 cents. The resident DJs at Knoxville’s Tavern are well-known in Calgary for spinning the best top 40 mashup music."

"This playground is designed exclusively for children 5 and under. With safe fall carpet flooring and ramps there is no better playground for early walkers and even crawlers. More proficient walkers will love the independence they can have on the wide variety of equipment that is just their size."

"Unlike many of the playgrounds on his list, this is located on a very modest park area but it is still a Calgary favorite. With a pirate ship play structure on one side and a castle play structure on the other this playground provides an amazing opportunity for imaginative play. Nothing could be cooler than playing in a castle except maybe a pirate ship."

Though this is our go-to, they have something for everyone else – whether you crave chocolate, berries, coffee or hazelnut flavoured goodies, Beebop has got you."
