Wow - what a fun experience at Proof (pr%f) in Calgary. They have a very generous happy hour with lots of baos to choose from and some select drinks, both beers and cocktails. They are a cocktail bar that serves many unique drinks with delicious twists. All of their drinks are expertly crafted and are delicious. Definitely a good spot to check out with friends (get a reservation), and make sure you have a safe ride home because you’ll definitely want to have more than one!

Andy Chiang (☆ 5/5)

This is one of the best cocktails bars I have ever been to. The array of liquors and menu of craft cocktails is extraordinary. And the staff is so good! We loved Sam, and Reece is simply the best! If you can get Reece as your bartender, you are guaranteed an excellent night!

Cathy Chapman (☆ 5/5)

We had an unforgettable date night here! The bar is absolutely stunning, with floor-to-ceiling shelves creating a breathtaking backdrop. Sophie and the incredible bartender brought our dream drink to life — they made fantastic recommendations, and we can’t recommend their oak-aged bourbon cocktails enough. The Vieux Carré was perfectly balanced, while the Little Nancy — made with fat-washed liquor — was an unforgettable blend of smoky, spicy, and bold flavors. This place is pure magic. The team are true cocktail wizards, and we can’t wait to come back for more!

Helen J (☆ 5/5)

It's been named one of the top bars in North America, and it's easy to see why. All the cocktails were amazing and very well balanced the food was delicious! It's definitely a spot you have to check out if you're in Calgary!

Randy Pearson (☆ 5/5)

Love their Christmas pop up! It was our second time and we will be going every year! We especially loved The Jingle Balls Nog and Santa slide drinks. If you like sweet drinks give those a try.

Agnesse777 (☆ 5/5)

It's a chill vibes little spot. Dark and intimate. Some interesting cocktails and good options for getting smaller measures if you don't want the whole thing. Didn't try any of the food as came for an after hours drinks. Menu was cool. Although I was kind of left expecting more surprise and wow considering all the accolades who knows maybe next time.

Parma Virk (☆ 4/5)

Had an amazing evening sitting at the bar. All staff was very helpful and skilled. Nice selection of cocktails but don’t hesitate to ask them to freestyle, you will be pleasantly surprised. Ps. Appletini for the win!
