"Proof is the crown jewel of Calgary’s cocktail scene. Though the space is relatively cozy, the bar shelves stretch to the high ceilings with layer upon layer of spirits from around the world, giving ample ammunition to the barkeeps to make just about any drink. If you’re looking to save a bit of coin, pop in during happy hour (4 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily) for some fantastic drink specials. [$$-$$$]" - Dan Clapson
