Bridgette Bar: New food and drink spot opening on 10th Avenue
Get ready to have another option when you’re hungry for a cocktail and some eats in an eye-catching space. Bridgette Bar opens up this month and aims to bring its “chef-driven” bar concept to Calgary’s Design District.
Located at 739 10th Avenue in a former furniture shop, Bridgette Bar will boast a rustic-chic mid-century vibe, complete with exposed beam ceilings, sparkling chandeliers, and open-flame cooking. (Just peek at their retro-fueled graphics for a sense of what aesthetic they’re going for.)
Open Tuesdays through Sundays from 11 am to 1 am, Bridgette Bar has a trim brunch menu featuring elevated comfort fare, like a Smoked Turkey Benedict with Sage Hollandaise, or French Toast with housemade jam, bacon, and maple syrup.
A more expansive dinner menu runs the gamut from bar snacks (Eggplant Fies, Roasted Olives, Red Curry Cashews) to small plates (BBQ Pork Pate, Braised Rabbit on Toast, Grilled Octopus), to a full section dedicated to veggies (Roasted Cauliflower, Charred Brussel Sprouts, Grilled Sweet Potato), pizzas and pastas, and larger plates (Grilled Farm Chicken, Roasted Half Duck, Double Cut Pork Chop).
