Small Bar Bridgeland

Had a cocktail, a burger, and a dessert. Good food and service, nice patio, clean bathrooms. Only con is that it can be a bit loud inside when busy, so not great for intimate conversation but a great place to catch up with friends over food and drinks.

Great cocktail bar with creative drinks (as well as the classics) as well as delicious food. Atmospheric inside and a great patio with heaters and a fireplace. Service has always been excellent and prices good for what you get. Special shoutout to them for being so fantastic for an event we held. Food was amazing, drinks were incredible and the staff were awesome the whole time.

Loved it! Food was fantastic, service was superb. Highly recommend the Thali’s!

It's a pub! They have made some more space inside and they have a large patio outside. We came during happy hour on Saturday and I had a 6 dollar beer with my double cheeseburger. Everything came hot and tasted good. I didn't get to try the wings so I'll definitely head back soon and have an order of those and another beer.

its amazing place, service is really nice. Food is not that great, we had artichoke chicken and chicken burrito. Chicken was too salty, it felt really rich in sodium. They took it off our check since we didn’t like, that boasts of good service. If they improve their food it will be a perfect place to drink and hangout. Amazing ambience, give you a old school bar feel.

I was there for lunch. First people in the place which can always be a hit or miss on what comes out of the kitchen but this was a hit. Smash burgers, fries and peri peri wings. All perfectly cooked and served with love. The wings were well sauced and not fried so it made for a comfortable feeling. The fries, crinkle cut, and amazingly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Some of the best fries around. The burger was cooked perfectly. For my taste could have used a little more seasoning but that didn’t stop it from getting smashed into my face at an incredible pace. American cheese (as you must) pickles and onions. I would say a little heavy on both of those but again. Nothing to complain about. Atmosphere is comfortable and chill. I’ll have to check it out when it’s busier one day. Thanks for the great meal!

Very tasty drinks. I have had similar drinks around town, but the pricing is in line with other cocktail places. The nachos are delicious and big enough for two people to share. Guacamole was $6, but avocados are expensive, and it was a sizable portion. I would say that you should check out this place once.

Good food, decent cocktails and solid service. We girlfriend and I shared the smoked wings and caramelized onion dip to start. The wings were cooked perfectly and tasted great...especially dipped in the white sauce. The onion dip was also quite delicious but I think making homemade chips would go a long way instead of the Hardbite chips it is served with. The beef rice bowl was an excellent balance of the rich short ribs and the herbaceous punch of the chimichurri. My girlfriend said she enjoyed the frito pie although it could have used something to breakup the overall heaviness. The cocktails were good but nothing to impress. Our server noticed that it was "date night" and brought over a couple of mini cocktails on the house. Overall I was pretty impressed with Cannibale and would come back to try some other menu items.

Lovely patio, tasty coffee, and very good food! Had to modify something to make it vegetarian, but it was doable and they subbed in a tomato for the sausage :) would definitely come back!

Kinda small inside. Nice patio. Good service. Very loud though because the interior is so small. When people get drunk they get loud and the staff allows it so thats too bad.

Came on a weekday night so it wasn't too busy. Bottom line was the drink was good, the service was fabulous, and the chips were totally forgettable. Got the Jungle Bird (like many others on Yelp it seems) and thought it was pretty tasty. Can't go wrong with pineapple. The bar chips we ordered tasted like they came straight out of a bag, so nothing to write home about there. The bartender was exceptionally friendly and told us about his travels throughout Canada and the world. Always cool when you get a chance to speak with people with different experiences than your own. The setting itself is awesome--who wouldn't want to drink in the back of a barber shop? I'd have no issue coming back next time I'm in Calgary.

I loved the drink jungle bird! And at 7.00 for 2 oz on happy hour is fantastic!! My hubby had a shot laphroiag scotch 5.00 on happy hour and he really liked it!! Nice bartender and we had the grilled cheese with steak and red peppers was very good, coleslaw is extra but fantastic not heavy but light!! Reason for 4 star rating is too yuppie for me... younger crowd sitting at bar, and service died down a little when all the young crowd showed up! Nice small cozy atmosphere, but not my style!! Going to next happy hour cocktail place... And no wifi!! We came back a week later to try something new! Let you know how it was!!

A barber shop moonlighting as a bar? Sure, why not! Throw some delectable cocktails with unique names like Jungle Bird, Pimmy Gibbler or English Milk Punch and a bartender that is a doppleganger of Jude Law and you've got me hooked. The dimly lit space has a laid back and welcoming feel. They also have a huge patio space that I'm sure will be occupied throughout the summer. Definitely a place I'd recommend if you're looking for somewhere cool to catch up with some friends or after dinner drinks.

I loved this restaurant. It had great music, ambiance, crowd, drink list, food, everything you could ask for. If you want a cool downtown type vibe, this place is one for the books. We had the Carpaccio and the beef tartar and they were both delicious. They sprinkle TRUFFLE powder on their tartar making it a MUST have in my opinion... oh it was heaven. I had this really delicious drink that had a floral taste with chamomile in it. They had such a unique drink list of many different flavours and styles. If you like trying new cocktails then check this place out for sure.

Probably the coolest bar I have ever been to. That isn't fair ....this is an old-school lounge. Amazing place gre at food incredible atmosphere.thisbplace is not to be missed. It is small but the seating is comfortable and the staff is super friendly. New favorite place

Love this place! So glad I happened upon it while in Calgary! Great food, fantastic cocktails, great vibe, fabulous service! Both food and cocktails are not your ordinary mix of goods! I knew when I saw all the apothecary bottles at the bar I was in good hands.

The food was aweful. The service was even worse. The attitude that came from the girl serving us was ridiculous. I had tried two white wines that were different. Both tasted the same and were sour. They clearly used an old bottle. The girl kept rolling her eyes when she served us. When we wanted to order more drinks and water my gf went up to the bar and the bar tender handed her a jug of water and said they were really busy. Wow. Never again!!

Food was good and bartender was super nice. Would have given a better score if food didn't take so long and there was more selection on the list

Great atmosphere, super relaxed, personable, and attentive bartender, DELICIOUS cocktails, and good music. I had the beef tartare and was in LOVE. I will definitely be going in for regular visits!

A group of four of us came here for some drinks and a snack. We tried several of the cocktails and they were all very good. We tried two of the sandwiches and the charcuterie board and was impressed by how good the food was. Why I gave this place four stars is because we asked for the bill when they cleared our food away and we waited for more than 20 minutes and ended up going to the bar to find the server to pay. However, we assume that was a one off night for service, we would still come back.

This hidden gem has the most amazing Asian sub. It is filled with pulled beef and a super delicious sauce I can't seem to figure out. I literally crave this sub often and when I crave it I have to go. Great dark atmosphere with cool hip staff and even a barber. Great neighbourhood gem. Steve

Really cute patio. Server was genuine and nice. She seemed new. Her knowledge of the menu and suggestions for drink and food options could use a bit of improvement. Tried a cocktail and glass of pinot noir. Both were tasty. Would return to try more cocktails. Music was on point! We shared the charcuterie board and thought that all the sections tasted good but could have used a different type of cracker or bread (there was only 1) and a sweet spread or accompaniment. Board was served with a soprasetto, prosciutto and a salami with sourkraut grainy mustard and a couple varieties of house pickles (beans and traditional sweet cuces) Other food looked tasty coming out.

Barbershop by day, speakeasy by night, this watering hole in the circa 1912 Cannibale Block centers around a Prohibition theme. We sat outside on the East-facing patio, which is semi-closed in and due to orientation does not get direct sun. That being said, the nice wood finishes, overhead heaters, and Edison style lights are very inviting for late al fresco drinking/dining. The drink menu consists largely of cocktails, and while you can get classics like Manhattans, they focus on their own interpretation of prohibition & tiki drinks. They also have unusual, made up stuff like a corn drink. All of the liquors used are top shelf, making their $10-14 price easier to swallow (no pun intended). The consensus at the table was that the drinks were well prepared, but the recipes didn't wow us. A punch that takes two (or three?) days to make, using milk as a clarifying agent, tasted strongly of pineapple and not too much else. It was impressively clear, but also clearly missing some spice or bitters. My other two drinks were similar...nothing to complain to the waiter about, just a bit underwhelming given the menu descriptions. If you want to order a classic drink, or prefer high end liquor with simpler flavor profiles in your cocktails, you'll love Cannibale. If you like complex-tasting cocktails, come here for a nightcap on the sweet nocturnal patio. [Note: food looks good, but will have to come back and update the review]

Met a friend here for drinks on a Saturday night- I skipped dinner at home, to leave space to eat the duck Reuben I had been eyeing, in anticipation of checking this place out. Loved the casual vibe, wasn't too loud and my friend and I were able to converse without too much yelling (I feel so old writing that part). There is a barbershop at the entrance of the place - how interesting to walk by. Cocktails were pricy at around $15 but again, I am old and remember the days cocktails were less than $10. Back to the duck Reuben - it was delicious - flavoured nicely against the sauerkraut and held together with a hearty loaf of bread. I'd come back here if the opportunity presents again.

First time at this posh, barber shop style bar. I was greeted immediately by the friendly bar tender when I walked in and was able to get a patio table (alfresco style) cleared for me right away when I asked if I could have my party of 6 there. We lucked out with the 20 degree weather this past Thanksgiving weekend but their heat lamps kept us warm and comfortable when there were periods of light evening breeze. I ordered the English Milk Punch which contained 11 ingredients including rum, brandy, sherry, pineapple, lemon, star anise, cloves, earl grey, demerara and milk. I was concerned that there was way too much going on in this drink but the server assured me that it would be delight and boy was she right. Sally was a happy girl that night.

We went to this place expecting great things and were extremely let down. After asking to wait a bit before we ordered drinks the server completely lost all interest in providing any level of service. We ordered the Duck Monte Cristo sandwiches and while they were presented nicely had the bad taste of reheated poultry. We were never asked if we were interested in drinks and it was clear that the wait staff were indifferent if we were there or not. Maybe the poor service and indifference was a factor of a busy night but the food wasn't worth a trip back to find out.

Great addition to the neighbourhood. Cocktails are solid. Davy Jones locker and Banish the Ghosts are yummy. The food is a welcoming surprise here. The duck Reuben sandwich is delicious and the cheese board had good accompaniments. Wonderful patio in the summer and great cozy booths make this one of my favorite lounges. Unpretentious and fun, highly recommended.

Love it here! Great patio space, creative cocktails, and have always had good service. I've been in a few times so not sure why I haven't reviewed it ages ago! Food menu is limited, but good. That's ok though, because you come here for cocktails, which they do superbly! They will even entertain you if you ask for "bartender's choice" and bring you a mystery drink!

Epic proper "your-grandad-would-approve" cocktails. If you're a gin person, I recommend the Artillery cocktail. Great atmosphere and reasonably priced. We will return!

My wife and I ended up at Cannibale Bar after dinner on our 5th anniversary, and it was an excellent way to complete the night. The cocktails were great, and the patio made for a fun spot to hang out. I would recommend checking out this place, especially when the weather is good, and you can sit on the patio.

Amazing drinks and a large variety of food/beverage options. Loved the vibe inside and it's pretty neat they have a barber shop attached. Service was good but we felt pretty rushed by our server. Definitely a good stop if you're feeling a little more upscale. They have a nice little patio as well. Parking is a little difficult as you have to be able to find a spot on the street. Would definitely come again.

This is a place to go for a cocktail and a quick bite but not if you want to have a dinner. The atmosphere is hard to put up with if you want to carry a conversation. The restaurant is always quite full and loud. The staff are very friendly

This is a great little bar for some good cocktails and small plates. I asked the waitress for their best bourbon drink and she came back with an awesome smokey cocktail. Also had the Cubano sandwich and it was delicious.

English Milk Punch (or any milk punch) and Pretzel Bread Pudding are the two reasons I go here. The bar and location are great. The staff/bartenders are knowledgeable and charming. I'll be back!

Cannibale is the 3rd in the successful series of family-owned diner/restaurants here in Calgary. The others are the well-known and relentlessly popular Dairy Lane diner and the Blue Star diner. Cannibale is a different concept: a "speak easy" fronted by a barbershop. In side it's cozy and inviting. Not unlike Dairy Lane and Blue Star, it's casually elegant, and tasteful. You could easily miss the attention to detail. Again like its sister venues, they specialize in excellence in value and service delivered in a friendly, casual, welcoming style. Don't mistake the casual style with a casual approach to business -- they never miss a beat when it comes to their service which is impeccable. Staff are knowledgeable about their offerings, ready to help with recommendations. Nifty as is the concept for this joint, there's no pretension. As with the other restaurants, the owner is often around, and always has a welcoming smile. Personally, I admire a boss like this who leads by example, and is never above joining it with serving, bussing or slinging a mop. After going there the first time, 2 weeks ago, I've been back two more times. I've enjoyed a few among a good selection of beers, and have yet to try their other beverages, but look forward to exploring some of those. For food, I've enjoyed the charcuterie plate, the Rueben made with duck, and the Cuban sandwich, as well as a couple of deserts. The quality of the offerings is exceptional! Gourmet level, I thought. Am I going too far? You tell me. Not just a unique concept for Calgary, this is a comfortable, warm and inviting place to hang out for a drink and a snack, get a hair cut while there if you like, have dinner with friend or business colleague. I think this is going to be a regular hang out for me. See you down there!

Got a haircut for myself while my husband got a beard trim and head buzz. Yan is great, and I highly recommend him! Ordered the Apple Orchard, Short Wave pale ale and a sourdough pretzel - all delicious. The better half had some whiskey for which the bartender, Mark, offered some insight as to what to order. Staff here overall is excellent - highly recommend for food, drinks and a cut!

The food here is better than most drinking bars... We had the carpaccio and the cheese plates to share and both were very good.. The wine was ok.. Nothing really impressive, but not terrible... I just not recommend ordering the house wine..., other wines are ok.. The ambience is very good, and the service was great.. In average the place was good..

Great drinks, great atmosphere. Cozy and very cool. It's a drink place - not a food place (per se) - they have very limited appies and nothing really for meals... Definitely a cocktail bar!

Such a cool place. Great cocktails. Great atomsphere friendly staff. Haven't tried any food yet but i will soon. I also want to go for a shave but seems a little pricey. Only negative is the amount of clutter on the bar. Check this spot out.

Its amazing inside this little gem. Small food menu but what they do they do extremely well. They have a large well thought out patio and attentive servers. All of this is a distraction from the main attraction which is the cocktail menu. One of more and more bars putting emphasis on the art of drink making. If you're looking for an intimate, well appointed little hole in the wall to waste the night away in this is as good as it gets.

This cosy little pub offers an amazing cocktail menu (honestly there are too many to choose from!) as well as good quality wines and some good value beer on tap. We also ordered the beef carpaccio, and it was awesome. This is a fantastic spot for a cocktail and some nibbles!

A bit on the dark side for eating (lighting) but fast friendly service. Check it out :) great sandwiches, excellent hay day heffenwieser brew. Would recommend this place.
