Best Nightlife -(Live Entertainment)
Barley Mill Eatery and Pub
(Nightlife - Live Entertainment)
201 Barclay Parade SW
Calgary AB T2P 4R3
403-290-1500
Description:
This fun neighborhood bar is located near downtown and just steps away from the Eau Claire Market. Its cozy environment includes an outdoor patio, fireplaces, and a 100-year-old Scottish bar imported from the UK. If you want something to drink, that's easily taken care of; you'll find a couple of dozen draft beers and even more bottled ones. There's also hard liquor if you need an added jolt. Typical pub food is available, including a great afternoon tapas menu. Occasionally, the establishment hosts patio barbecues, where the chefs grill all sorts of meats for hungry patrons. You'll also find live bands performing from time to time.

Cannery Row / McQueens
(Nightlife - Live Entertainment)
317 10th Ave SW
Calgary AB T2R 0A5
403-269-8889
Description:
These two venues both serve seafood with a New Orleans flair and offer live jazz during the week. Cannery Row, on the lower level, is a more casual establishment and has an oyster bar. It offers live jazz Friday and Saturdays. McQueens sits above it and is dedicated to more elegant dining. It has live music from Wednesday until Saturday. If you've got a craving for crab, lobster, shrimp, oysters, fresh fish, and even steak, lamb, duck, or veal, you'll find it at these sibling restaurants. The ambience at both is warm and inviting, and you'll often find friends and colleagues gathered for a drink and a delicious meal. If seafood is on your mind, this is the place to get it. A local favorite.

Cowboys Dance Hall
(Nightlife - Live Entertainment)
826 5th St SW
Calgary AB T2P 1W4
403-265-0699
Description:
Loud and boisterous, this club lets loose with western spirit, inviting authentic cowboys to mix with those whose only tie to the lifestyle is their clothing. The enormous space boasts a large dance floor, where patrons kick and stomp their way around, following the latest steps. Depending on the night, you'll also find live bands, DJs spinning tunes, and dance lessons offered for those who want to hone their skills. The club is well-attended throughout the year by a diverse crowd, although when Stampede rolls around, it gets absolutely packed with visitors to the annual event. Fun and rambunctious.

Yep, it really does look like a garage, except it's hipper and cleaner, thank goodness! The place sports lots of metal accents, along with paraphernalia relating to cars, motorcycles, and mechanics.
