We had the best service from John! The whole staff was so accommodating to our last minute reso, they got us in on a busy Friday night. John you’re the best

Came here after a terrible experience at Prohibition bar and these guys saved our night.
Prices are steep, but service and quality is top notch.
20% automatic gratuity on a group of 6 is a bit greedy, though.

Immaculate vibes! Such a unique, fun experience. I went solo & Kelly the Kiwi is an amazing bartender! The (hostess? Manager?) also came in clutch with her photography skills. Overall it was a great way to start off my trip. I felt welcomed as soon as I walked through the door. The antique furniture, moody lighting, yummy drinks and jazz music made the experience unforgettable.

Wow! Underground Calgary gem. Would absolutely recommend to locals & tourists alike, truly a must see in YYC with an awesome upbeat vintage jazz atmosphere! The librarians were kind enough to provide us with free champagne & great conversation making utmost sure to make us feel at home. Our bartenders Izzie & Bo were lovely, extremely kind, & clearly very knowledgeable on cocktails & the ins & outs of Betty Lou’s. Our server John was quick & helpful, making sure to make us feel at home. Truly unbeatable food & drinks paired with great music, vibes & staff! Thank you Betty Lou’s! Will absolutely come back & recommend when I can.

We went last minute for some Halloween drinks. We absolutely loved our experience, from the service and the great attentive staff to the tasty drinks and yummy charcuterie platter. The atmosphere is awesome and we will be back.

Went out with some pals for a classy jazz night and had such a great time. Our server, John, was hilarious and knew the menu like the back of his hand, very impressive! The drinks were also incredibly tasty, super unique as well. We have some folks in our group who don’t drink, and the bartender made us some personalized mocktails that were super yummy and classy (John also memorized all the ingredients in these drinks, which is an incredible talent considering they aren’t an the menu and everybody got something different.)
