The food at 88 changes all the time, but it’s always amazing. The popular pizza spot Noble Pie used to operate out of the space, but now, guests can dig into Con Mi Tacos and Mixtape sandwiches.

Cabin Brewing Company

We love Cabin’s beer can designs and decor, but their beer and food menu is our favourite. There are charcuterie plates here, great for sharing at the long tables, New Zealand steak pies, cabin dogs, and chips and salsa.
Address: 505 36th Avenue SE, Calgary
Annex Ale Project

There’s some pretty cool brewery food in this taproom, like the salty string cheese, but the real hero here is Lil’ Empire. They’re some of the best burgers in YYC, and these two are lucky to have each other.

Citizen Brewery

Head Chef Brian Diamond has created a pretty rad pub-style menu at this brewery, with burgers, fries, salads, and more. We definitely recommend checking out the weekend breakfast. The stuffed French Toast is made with ricotta-stuffed brioche, preserved Saskatoon berries, maple syrup, and a side of hash browns.
