Hayden Block Smoke & Whiskey is a bbq joint in the heart of Kensington, Calgary, Alberta. Smoking our meat from 10-14 hours, people love our brisket but we have a selection of meats, trays and sides to choose from. Join us inside or out if the weather permits, or on our backyard whiskey garden open year round. Drinkwise we’ve got the largest whiskey list in town, and an ever-evolving cocktail list anchored by our smokey old-fashioned. We’ve also got a bunch of beer on tap, with some local favourites and international selects.

Wonderful BBQ (got a tray of all four meats) and sides, although we found the Side description of a Tray (eg Bacon Mac & Cheese) to be a bit misleading. Maybe 8 oz bowl and 10 oz bowl (or whatever size they were) might be more accurate? Cocktails were creative and delicious and the Scotches were reasonably priced. Service was prompt and friendly, and the ambience was just “all out good time”!

It was fine. On previous visits, I enjoyed a much finer experience, however, this time it was okay.
