9 Calgary Patios For Cold Days

Bottlescrew Bill’s Pub

Bottlescrew Bill’s covered and heated downtown patio is a great spot to grab a beverage if the weather starts to turn. If you are a dedicated beer fan, you can travel the world from the comfort of the patio with the “Around the World in 80 Beers” passport. Plus, the patio is dog friendly for your furry friend to enjoy as well.

Craft Beer Market

Craft Beer Market’s downtown location is a great spot for when the weather gets a little colder thanks to the rooftop patio with heaters and retractable walls and roof. Hide away from the rain while you sip on a drink from one of the biggest beer lists in Calgary. The patio here is first-come, first-serve, so show up early.

Comery Block

Dig into a plate of smoky Tennessee barbecue on Comery Block’s enclosed and heated patio, which also offers great people-watching opportunities along 17th Avenue S.W.. Sip on cocktails like the double-smoked old fashioned and Pom Reader with Buffalo Trace bourbon whiskey.

Greta Bar

Affectionately known as “The Alley,” the heated and covered patio at Greta Bar features colourful street art by local artists and spills onto 10th Avenue S.W. There is often live music on the stage here, as well.

Hayden Block Smoke & Whiskey

Hayden Block has two patios: the front strip on Kensington Road that’s prime for sunning and people watching and a backyard “whiskey garden.” The latter is fully enclosed, covered with a skylight and heated, making it more of a sun porch than a patio, so it provides an authentic Texas atmosphere for most of the year.

Last Best Brewing Company

There’s no reason to get chilly while cupping your hands around a pint of one of Last Best’s signature brews. The brewpub’s courtyard patio is fully surrounded, blocking out cool breezes. Patrons can snuggle up to the fire pit or under the heaters on chilly days.

Lulu Bar

This Pacific-inspired restaurant is a popular spot for outdoor dining — the perimeter of the building features a heated patio with retractable windows and awnings for when the weather plays nice. Enjoy a passionfruit mojito with some lobster dumplings or house-made spam skewers while taking in the action on 17th Avenue S.W.

Porch

Porch is a fitting spot to snag a patio seat, as its design was inspired by a porch on a summer day. Porch has a large covered patio that overlooks the trendy 17th Avenue S.W., with a laid-back vibe and food and drinks to match.

730 17 Ave. S.W., 587-391-8500, porchyyc.com

The Rooftop

The Rooftop’s spacious, climate-controlled patio is an ideal spot to enjoy a tasty cocktail in any weather. Rain or shine, pop in to try a Pineapple Express or Mango Tango while enjoying the greenery-filled interior over a whipped feta board or plate of poke nachos.

414 3 St. S.W., 403-262-0080, therooftop.ca
