Sociable and shareable appetizers here really bring home the sense of East Coast community, but so do the dishes themselves. Fish tacos, mussels buckets, and the signature and traditional fried pepperoni are just a few of the ways Blowers & Grafton brings a taste of Halifax to Calgary.

This sit-down wine bar is a little quieter and fancier than many others on the list, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less of a good time. This is the spot to have an intimate glass of wine with someone and get deep into conversation over a cheese plate.

Address: 2310 4th Street SW, Calgary

Joyce on 4th

It really does seem like Calgary’s 4th Street has every type of restaurant and bar, and adding an Irish pub seems to complete the list. Grab some pub food, or just stop in for a perfectly poured Guinness.

Address: 506 24th Avenue SW, Calgary

South Block

The last spot on this list, right at the very end of the strip, is the stunning South Block. The BBQ food menu is outstanding, and the open room and patio, and the massive basement that often has live shows are the perfect place to start or end the journey on the 4th.
