South Block is a North-Carolina inspired BBQ hall and brewery on the edge of Mission, in Calgary. Upstairs you’ll find a large dining room, 20-seat bar, and a year-round indoor/outdoor beer garden. Downstairs hosts our stage, live music hall, and brewerey – where we brew our entire draft lineup from classic staples like our Pilsner, Lager, and IPAs, to our unique seasonal Peach Bourbon Ale and Mango Wheat Ale.

Behind the bar, we run a hand-crafted cocktail program and offer a whiskey list of over 200 varietals, including American, Canadian, Irish, Scottish, and Japanese whiskeys.

However, the biggest draw has to be our slow-smoked barbecue menu. Inspired by the flavours of North Carolina, our team arrives early every morning to smoke our famous brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and more for up to 14 hours.

    Sever was very attentive and friendly. The breakfast was so good. The brisket was very tender & juicy and my eggs were cooked perfectly. The baked beans were a delightful little addition to the meal as well.

    Outstanding food, service and ambience / vibe. Loved that they played good rock 'n' roll at the perfect volume. Good mood lighting, and I dig all the rough dark wood. I'll be back! (in about a week, it's addictive) Cheers!

    Great service, good food but little selection of food & Uber amount of selection for drinks. Ordering shareable more expensive than ordering an entree. Noise level so loud could not converse with our guests- frustrating! Love Bullies were great. The other issue is that they have 2 sets of doors but did not close the inner doors, do every time someone came in the door the freezing cold air went right to our table. The 4 of us were freezing.
