Patio season is a sacred time in Calgary, it’s short but sweet and Calgarians aren’t willing to waste a moment of it. There’s no shortage of lively patios across the city, offering delicious food, refreshing drinks and the best vibes.

Whether you’re in the mood for day drinking on a sunny rooftop patio, grabbing a scenic streetside table or cozying up on a heated patio in the evening, you’ll find your perfect spot in our Calgary patio guide below.

Patio space is first come, first serve! If you book a reservation for a venue, please note your desire to sit on the patio in the booking notes on OpenTable and we'll do our best to accommodate requests where possible.
