National

This modern yet industrial bar is where the trendy people of Calgary come to dine, drink and meet with friends. The original location is on 17th Ave where long tables and a huge patio make it easy to spend a few hours. There are constantly new brews on taps, events happening and a-bring-your-own-vinyl-record night on Wednesdays. Head over to the location on 10th where the entertainment options are endless and include an 8-lane bowling alley, ping pong tables and foosball. Along with the awesome menu that this place is known for, they also have one heck of an oyster bar. In the summertime though it will be National on 8th that is happening, due to housing the largest outdoor patio in Western Canada. It is here where you will find people from all over the city soaking up the sun, playing a round of cornhole and sipping on some brews. It’s not just good beer and good food you will find at all their locations but also an extensive cocktail list, late hours and just the right amount of people to ensure that it’s going to be a good time.
