Was here when they first opened and every time I come back I love how consistent they are in terms of quality, service and creativity. Such a cool vibe as well. Carrie made us delicious drinks!Didn't try any food this time as we went for after dinner drinks.

I recently visited Proof, a cocktail bar in Calgary, and had a fantastic experience. I'd like to compliment Amber for her exceptional skill in mixology. I gave her an idea of what I wanted, and she exceeded my expectations, crafting an amazing drink that perfectly suited my taste. Her creativity and attention to detail truly impressed me. The ambiance at Proof was also delightful, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing evening. I highly recommend Proof and commend Amber for her outstanding service and talent.

A nice intimate place for good selection of drinks in downtown Calgary. Staff is fast and friendly and we never felt interrupted with questions by the servers. My only con is the lack of food selection. They have good small plates, but if you're hungry it might not be the best.

Maybe the best cocktail bar I've been to - and I've been to plenty, worldwide. This place is an asset to Calgary.Left my drink choices up the bar and wow did they deliver. The whole bar team is amazingly skilled and passionate about what they do. Callum, Amber and Rhiannon specifically were amazing, but the entire ambience and selection was unbeatable. If you have *any* interest in cocktails, come here. This is the best bar in Calgary and it isn't even close.

Best cocktails and bar in Calgary. The drinks, food, ambience and service is top notch. Callum was my bartender for the night and he was a top notch gentleman and server. The type of guy that makes you think the owner should give him more time off for his service.

Tons of great cocktails on the menu, and unlimited more the superb bartenders are willing to make at a simple request. Go early or you'll be waiting.

Great location, affordable enough prices and has a very up class feel. Great for something short and quick, business talks only thing is depending what time you’re going I might recommend getting a reservation in place because they only have limited tables and bar seating is not much as

Best cocktail place in the city. Had fun every time I've been here. Drinks are a bit pricey but come with more alcohol than usual so it works out in terms of value for money.

I have been here before with some friends during happy hour and fell in love with their food and cocktails. I decided to bring my mom here as a birthday pre-drink spot, however I am disappointed with the service quality. We were sitting at the bar, with no one really attending us for 20 minutes. We ordered a shot of a mescal, and out of curiosity we asked the bartender if they knew where it was from. Immediately they reacted with hostility, stating that it was their job to know. But never answered the question. When I asked again they brought the bottle out and kind of stuttered to figure out where it was from. The way they reacted was out of ego, because they clearly didn't know where it came from, which is okay if you don't know but I didn't understand the sass in the response. On the plus side - the cocktails were yummy.

Enjoyed a few rounds of cocktails at Proof. I didn’t enjoy my first drink but the waitress graciously swapped it for something else which I greatly appreciated. Awesome vibe inside and extensive drink selection. Loved the small sips section ??

We went here for some drinks and appies. They have an excellent selection of drinks. When we were here they had great holiday drinks. The appies were also very tasty. It was busy so service was a little slow.
