Broken City
If you fancy a bit of rock and roll and are looking for a club with a 4/4 heartbeat, then Broken City is your scene. Indie rock, alt country and punk all do the rounds and get the crowds going. Gigs are usually on Thursday and Friday nights.
-
Cowboys
After recently relocating to a fresh location, this legendary Calgary hotspot has lost none of its hedonistic reputation. Everyone from Prince Harry, Prince Albert of Monaco and Prince ('Purple Rain' Prince, that is) have all had a boogie at Cowboys, the cavernous nightspot to see and be seen. Stetsons and tight Wranglers are the norm here, but even if that isn't your scene, the eye candy alone is worth a visit.
-
Flames Central
The place to be to catch a hockey game on the big screen. The huge interior of what used to be a cinema has been transformed into the sports bar to end all sports bars. With more TVs than an electronics shop, you'll definitely get a good view of the game - just make sure you're not cheering for the Oilers. There is an on-site restaurant and it has concerts from time to time.
-
Kaos
Jazz lovers unite at Kaos for nightly live music. The hip older crowd is a nice relief from the pubescent atmosphere found at some nightspots around town.
-
Marquee Room
Upstairs from the Uptown Cinema, the Marquee Room is quickly becoming one of Calgary's hippest hotspots. It's a stylish joint, great for live bands and DJs.
-
Ming
With plentiful booths and a cocktail list long enough to stop any lush in their tracks, Ming is a fun place to be. The deceptively large interior, blood-red walls and groovy pop art complete the scene in one of the city's cooler lounges.
-
Paramount Chinook
Located in Chinook Centre shopping mall, the Paramount has 17 screens, so there must be something on worth seeing. There is an IMAX theater on site, too.
-
Plaza Theatre
Right in the heart of Kensington, the Plaza Theatre shows both art house flicks and cult classics - it's definitely a great place to do the 'Time Warp.'
-
Rose & Crown
This British-style pub feels like it could hold most of Britain. Multileveled and popular, it's a good place to meet and greet some new-found friends.
-
Ship & Anchor
The Ship is an über -classic Calgary institution, an all-time favorite of uni students, 17th Ave hipsters and indie music fans. With plentiful beers on tap, the shadowy interior is a cozy winter hideaway, while the picnic table-filled patio is prime real estate come summertime.

The Barley Mill
This freestanding structure adjacent to Eau Claire Market is a favorite after-work stop for the downtown working stiffs. The big patio is great in the summer and the festive atmosphere keeps it popular year in, year out.
-
The HiFi Club
The HiFi is a great place to get your groove on. The dance floor swells nightly to the sounds of live DJs who specialize in making you sweat. Check out Sunday Skool, the weekly groove session that is always a crowd pleaser.
-
The Hop and Brew
Imagine if you took an old house, turned it into a dive bar, and then had a great party every weekend. Tucked down a quiet street just off the main drag, The Hop and Brew has got some style. The converted house has a bar upstairs and down, a pool table up top and winding steps right through the middle. Good tunes, grungy atmosphere and plenty on tap.
