2. Vin Room Mission

Vin room is another licensed restaurant for wine lovers. They understand that every wine is unique and that’s why they offer a wide sitting for guests to come and explore about eight different kinds of wines by taste. Don’t worry as you won’t have to pay for the samples. You can choose to either sample wine by the glass or by the ounce and can do so until you get sure about which one you want to order.

To educate you about all these types of wines, they have a highly knowledgeable and friendly staff who are no less than well-traveled guides. They are always happily available to listen and answer your queries. However, if you want to go there only for some tasty food and quality time with your family, that’s also possible.

3. One Night Stan’s Bar Room & Divery

Not every one of us feels comfortable in a super sophisticated area where you have to behave elegantly as everyone will stare you to death on sneezing loudly. If you’re one of those easy-going folks, this One Night Stan’s Bar Room & Divery is what you should try next. The bar has a relaxed, low-key atmosphere where you won’t get judged for whatever you are wearing or doing.

You can go there in your yoga pants, a three-piece suit, pajama bottoms, or anything in between. However, the fun is guaranteed as they are famous for playing the music a bit loudly and staying open till late at night (probably past your bedtime). Both the food and drinks are ready to serve and taste good enough to soothe your taste buds.

The best part is that the restaurant has a dog-friendly patio so you won’t have to leave your pooch at home! Don’t worry about him being bored since the server will feed your pet and give him chew toys to have a nice time when you’d be enjoying your drink.

4. Simmons Rooftop Bar

Located along the Bow river at the world-famous Simmons building, this rooftop bar is known as Calgary’s best rooftop patio bar. From the venue, you’d be able to enjoy an uninterrupted and panoramic view of downtown’s well-lit city space and glorious bow river. To make your stay unforgettable there, buckets of cocktails and beer are passed around and the famous pizza of Connie and John is delivered to your table directly.

Also, there are efficient glass-encased fire spaces, heaters, and live music so you could feel immersed in the blissful vibes. The location is perfect for a romantic dinner, a business conference, or a casual get-together. However, the reservation and services depend upon the weather conditions as servers might have to close the rooftop and patio due to chilly temperatures, wind, or rain. Also, it’s an adult-only restaurant and you must present proof of age before making a reservation there.
