40 Best Wine Bars in Calgary

“Philly cheesesteak spring rolls are awesome!!“

“We had an amazing time at VIN Room thanks to our waitress Eva! She was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive without being overbearing. Her positive energy and great service made the night memorable. Highly recommend asking for Eva if you’re dining here!“

“Love to relax with a glass at this place. Nice apples as well“

“First of all, the layout and ambiance was very nice! The menu is a lot of fun with choices of shareables, platters, and unique main course dishes. My food was excellent, I had the lamb, and the drinks were just as good. We ordered some wine and enjoyed the pairing between the wine and the food. It was a great evening! The one odd part of the evening was when we asked the server for his wine recommendation. He was doing a good job at convincing the table what the best choice was and a soon as we agreed, a lady standing beside our table abruptly cut off the conversation and told the server he gave us a poor choice. She didn't introduce herself at all and grabbed the wine menu and started flipping through and after a couple of minutes she recommended something else. I wasn't sure who this woman was and why she behaved so rudely. Regardless, we took her recommendation and ended up enjoying the bottle. Oddly enough, I asked the server who the woman was and he said it was their General Manager. The server clearly felt embarrassed from what had just happened. In the end, the food and wine were great but the GM should pay attention to how she interrupts an experience and take some time to explain who she is and why she chose to embarrass a staff member. We thought our server was great and definitely didn't deserve that type of treatment. This is most likely a rare occurrence so I'm still going to recommend the Vin Room in Mission because everything was awesome.“

“Great wine different flights to sample. You can even buy bottles“

“Largest selection of wines by the bottle/glass in Calgary. Food improves everytime we go there. Best live jazz on thursdays in Calgary without cover charge. Kids are welcome. Lots of free parking.“

“Excellent Italian food prepared by Italians. Welcome place and very kind and professional staff. Excellent pasta and delicious pizza. Average prices. Ottimo cibo italiano preparato dagli italiani. Posto benvenuto e personale molto gentile e professionale. Ottima pasta e deliziosa pizza. Prezzi medi.“

“This place is amazing. We first had aperitivo, then pasta and finally dessert. Everything was simply amazing. Aperitivo we had arancini and meatballs with Aperol Spritz, great price on the happy hour menu and wow that tomato sauce was amazing!! The pasta fileja was so delicious, we ordered one boscaiola and one with nduja, both excellent!!! Dessert - tiramisu and bombolone gelato, paired with the suggested cocktails, another success! The whole experience was so good that I can’t wait to be back and try something else. Also the servers were amazing and Biagio very friendly! Perfect date!! Grazie! 🙏“

“A heaven for Burgundy lovers. And for Champagne lovers. And for German Riesling lovers. And Rhône lovers. And Jerez lovers !

I wouldn’t choose any other place in Edmonton for my next meeting with Jasper Morris, Anne Krebiehl and Peter Liem lol

Meursault villages to the most coveted 1ers & Grands Crus in white and red:

Puligny, St. Aubin, Volnay, Pommard, Vosne-Romanee, Gevrey Chambertin, … Lafarge, Hubert Lamy, Leflaive, Mugneret-Gibourg, …

The Champagne section reads like a grower champagne social club: Agrapart, Roses de Jeanne, Delamotte, Roederer (practically a grower).

Quite a lot of rare wines here, including a Suenen Robarts - how did this rarity travel all the way from France without anyone having drunk or stolen it?

Cold cuts, sardines and cheese served, the place is full of young young, smiling people listening to unobtrusive music.
Make sure you find the stairs from the street level to get here.“

“SO. DAMN. GOOD! The best authentic pizza I have had, without being IN Italy. Highly recommend.“

“Overall, we were happy being our first experience there. Let's get this straight, the pizza was AMAZING. Worth the whole experience overall. Areas of improvement would be the following. Our server, while being very friendly and all, never came by to ask if we wanted any additional drinks. Loss of a few more sales. We waited a long time for our food. Now that could be it takes time with their ovens to make this amazing za, and wouldn't have mined if our server would have come to us and just let us know and as mentioned earlier, ask if we wanted any more drinks while we waited. Restaurant itself was nice and my whole family all agreed. When leaving my step son even said, good find! Again, the pizza was amazing. So, not sure if this is a common mention but if owner or manager reads this, perhaps somethings to improve on. Would I go back? Hell yeah! I will be back or definitely ordering some pizza again, that's for sure. Thanks“

“Dairy Lane is an elevated cafe that does not disappoint on flavour and hospitality.

We quickly were led to a table inside, where after a short perusal of the breakfast menu we ordered.

I had the Mushroom Benny, with a side of chicken sausage. As you can see from the photo is was very well presented, and it also tasted great. The only difficulty I had was the knife I was given would not cut the English Muffin the Benny was severed on (I don't know if it was the knife or the Muffin, but the knife made quick work of the sausage so I'm leaning towards the Muffin) so it was way messier to eat than it had to be.

The service was 5*“

“Absolutely incredible food and service, 12/10!“

“A newer Calgary staple!

Their burgers are great, the concept is executed well and it's affordable! I've been coming to Class Clown since they opened but I've never taken any pictures until now because I just devour my food.

I can say the Donald McRonald is great and I tried their fish sandwich the last time I was in. It was delicious and nicely sauced. The fries are also so hot and crispy with enough in one order for two people (we'd had a lot before I took the picture attached). I still need to try their chili fries with cheese, but I've heard good things.

They have a great selection of organic wines and the ice cream is awesome. We tried the malted chocolate and it was eaten quickly. A reso is usually recommended.

I'll definitely be back!“

“The worst dining and service I have ever had. Had a birthday party asked them to split the bill between the guests, lied and said they would but rather put the entire bill on one with a 20% gratuity. The ravioli is disgusting and the manager, Brye needs better management skill. Better places to wine and dine.“

“Amazing atmosphere, fantastic staff. Great music. Our server, Justin was fantastic. You really made my birthday something special. Definitely recommend this place.“

“A perfect French paradise in Calgary! Fantastic wine selection with knowledgeable and friendly staff. They will help you choose a wine based on your preferences and price point and suggest food pairings. The food selections are excellent with imported cheeses and house made spreads.“

“Met at the front door by owner. Hector. You are made to feel like you are at his home dining! Relaxing atmosphere with excellent service. The food is served hot and delicious. Alfredo sauce has a smooth texture & complimented the added chicken. Hubby has enjoyed both visits. Toscana Italian Grill on Macleod has become one of our favourite restaurants for value, good portions and amazing service. Families are welcome and very accommodating for children!“

“Our server Thea was amazing! She helped us celebrate our anniversary and valentines day. She was very attentive and took the extra time to ensure our food and drinks were to our preference. We did their February Wagyu Four Course Menu and it was splendid! Will come back again.“

“The Business district Calgary Vintage Chophouse is truly an astonishing place to dine. I had the enjoyment of attending a company celebration, and we received their exclusive private room for a full night. With more than 20 seats my business cohort and myself had a great time. The service is impeccable, the scenery is grand, and the food is spectacular!“

“This experience rocked! We went for the Wednesday Date Night special and we had a blast.
The service was prompt, attentive, friendly and fun! We had fun!
Steak and side were awesome. Misses had Bolognese and I had mash potatoes both great. Desserts were top notch (brulee for her and pecan pie for me). The atmosphere was upscale but approachable. We felt comfortable and at ease. And everyone was so nice.
100% will be back!“

“Haven’t had a bad meal ever all the food is delicious fresh staff is friendly highly recommend“

“Just wanted to give a shout out to the General Manager there named Amanda & the server that was assisting us named Savanah (i believe?). This Una accommodated my group of around 30 people. The location might've been a bit smaller, but this team made it happen for us! Also helped a lot that we were able to pre-order for a bunch of our food to arrive 15 mins after we showed us. Service was great & food was delicious as always! Thank you all again for the help & accommodating us! Looking forward to coming back there again in the near future!“

“Thanks for accommodating our last minute large group. Great experience and very great hosts!“

“Very nice selection of drinks focused on Japanese whiskey, but with a nice variety of other drinks. The Negroni was very tasy. Service is excellent, atmosphere is great, record player on the bar providing a nice back drop.
Didn't have any food so I can't comment on that.“

“Today I headed down to Gravity Calgary to get some prep done for my upcoming show. I had my favorite dish of theirs called the Jamaican Pie! (Their award winning Vegetable Quiche is my second favourite dish). I paired the pie with their delicious Sweet Potato soup and had Gravity’s Coffee flavour “Insomnia”. It was pay what you want for the coffee day. I cannot rave more about this place. The staff are always cheerful and welcoming. The owner, Andy is so supportive of myself and other local Musicians. There is an amazing Jazz Jam here on Sundays from approximately 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm. (Don’t quote me on the time though.) This place is awesome!“

“AMAZING COCKTAILS FOOD IS AWESOME HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“My favourite restaurant in Calgary, went again tonight, best service, best food, my go to restaurant for the best food and service“

“This coffee shop delivers a solid experience with good coffee, a welcoming atmosphere, and a well-designed interior. My mocha was rich and enjoyable, while my partner’s latte and cinnamon roll were equally satisfying. The space has a relaxed vibe, attracting many people working on laptops, making it a great spot for productivity. Prices are slightly above average, but the quality justifies it. One thing to note is that the café allows dogs inside—a nice touch for pet owners but unexpected for those with allergies, like my partner. While there’s nothing particularly standout, it’s a reliable and comfortable spot for a quality coffee break. A solid 4-star experience.“

“Coco Bongo Tacos for the win!“

“Update::
I returned.....couldnt get this charming plac3 out of my mind. Again...everything was great. Emiko was my server.... She was just was perfect of this gloomy Subday evening for a pre-show solo dinner. See you guys on my next Calgary visit!!!

Drove hrs to try this place after reading so many good things on a Calgary Food Group. Was greeted and served by Greg!!! Oysters were tender and perfect...just what I needed. I will definitely be back!!!
Thanks Gref“

“Loves that they have gluten-free options and specials throughout the week. Half price wine night is awesome.“

“It was Valentines Day Dinner. So it was very busy. We had a nice privste table towards the back of the reasturant. Server was great. Food was amazing! Only draw back was - we were so close to the kitchen it gets really hot - can smell of gas from the pizza ovens.“

“Second time at the River Cafe we brought family from Toronto and they were delighted with the food, service the setting. Our server was outstanding as was the food...thank you to chef Cass for making menu accommodations to fit my dietary requirements🌻🌻. We will certainly will be back soon🍷🌻“

“This place was awesome, with it's bare concrete walls and wood paneling. The pizza was on another level, and every other pizza place has been ruined for me. I truely enjoyed my time here, and the service, although slow, was fabulous. The place lived up to its reputation 100%.“

“It was my first time going here, and it is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever seen. The food (I got the Braised Short Rib and my husband got the 14oz Ribeye) was absolutely phenomenal, definitely exceeded all my expectations going in. I can honestly say it is some of the best food I have ever tasted. And the waitress, I truly wish I remembered her name because she made the entire experience even more enjoyable. She was so kind and personal, I really enjoyed her service especially considering it was Valentine's Day, she was so composed and it was a joy being served by her.“

“Completely non-engaging staff that served us. It was the worst experience at Starbelly I've ever had and I've been going there for a very long time, but the food's always amazing and the drinks were great, yet we felt like we were putting her out.“
