Just an unexpected place. Venue is amazingly beautiful. Doesn’t feel like you are in Calgary. Service was fabulous, food and drinks are top notch. Even though it’s in the industrial area it’s a destination place to go. Reminds of going to restaurants in New York!!

We loved our dining experience with our 8 and 11 year old daughters. The food was incredible … possibly the best in all of Calgary! The smoked oysters, bone marrow toast, and beef tartar were our favourites; the kids loved the cheese burger, fries and orange sorbet which was packed with flavour (not too sweet or too bitter). The restored power substation that is now the restaurant and distillery was also equally amazing with a a truly memorable dining experience. Until you step into the space you can’t even imagine the scale and opulence. We thought our server Peter was exceptional, as were the smoked old fashion and whisky sour, in addition to the other cocktails we tried. 5 stars … we are definitely coming back soon!

Arguably the best old fashioned in the city - but the entire cocktail menu is impressive.

From the time you pull up to the amazing building to the time you step into this restored location you will get an experience you soon won’t forget. The staff is inviting, welcoming and very attentive to every detail, including our severe nut allergy. The drinks are based mainly from gin and whiskey, and are unique and fun, including some old school mixed with new. The food was incredible with special details and flavour profiles. You can tell the staff enjoy working in such an incredible establishment. As it is a shareable concept it makes for great conversation with each dish, and makes you want to o my pick up your phone for pictures.
