For those who are more on the individualist and quirky side, Calgary Drinkbar will prove to be the hidden gem you were looking for all along. Both a pub and an antique store, Calgary Antik Drinkbar has enjoyed wide success since 1993.

Previously known as Ganz Beer Manufactury, this mainly outdoor pub will prove to be a relaxing hangout spot. Known for its varied selection of craft beers, Ganz is still popular with the regulars but managed to attract even more visitors since rebranding. There is nothing better to do on a hot summer day than sit back, with quality and reasonably priced beer in hand, taking in the peaceful surroundings: sprawling ivy branches all around, protecting you from the heat.
