Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Downtown

Concorde has set the bench mark for exceptional premium casual dining in Calgary, so expectations are high when dining at one of their properties. Barbarella, as expected, hit it out of the park once again! Brad B provided exceptional, knowledge and personable service., drinks were fantastic - from the Crimson Lion cocktail to the well curated beer and wine list and every dish was delicious! The ravioli is one of my favourites dishes in the city and we tried a couple of their Valentine’s features, which were also fabulous! We also really enjoyed the table we were sat at, tucked away in a corner of the main floor.

Wonderful service, not only from the server but from the whole front of house team. Very balanced and creative menu. Cocktails were also very well put together and all in all very reasonably priced for the quality of food. We had 3 starters and 2 mains and had a tough time picking a favourite! We will definitely return to sample more of the menu as we had a hard time choosing. Highly recommend.

I was here for Valentine’s Day 2025 and despite how busy The Guild was the staff were still very accommodating, and went above and beyond. I definitely will be coming back again, the atmosphere, the vibe of it all was awesome.

Lovely and relaxed late lunch at Pigeonhole downtown. Even though it was Valentine’s Day and a bit busy we had a relaxed and nicely timed late lunch and helpful and just-right attentive service. Food is excellent and loved the selection of by the glass wines. Thank you!

One of the very few places in Calgary to have met a mark for amazing service and ambience. Food was amazing, they had deals and we definitely didn’t break our bank going there.
