Calgary Happy Hour

Five Calgary places for cocktails, wine, snacks, or an easy after-work round.

1. Proof

Proof is the cocktail-first pick, useful when happy hour means a properly made drink and a room that is built around the bar.

2. Shelter

Shelter is a darker cocktail-lounge option, better for a slower drink than a loud group rush.

3. Bridgette Bar

Bridgette Bar bridges drinks and dinner well, with enough food energy that one round can become a full table.

4. Pigeonhole

Pigeonhole is the wine-and-small-plates pick, useful for a compact drink stop that still feels considered.

5. National

National is the easy group option, with the scale and casualness to handle a larger after-work plan.
