We asked our readers where to get the best Shaft in Calgary

There have been many years of debate about where the Shaft actually originates (don’t even think about telling us it’s Victoria), but regardless of the controversy, one thing is true: there are plenty of spots in Calgary that make a mean Shaft.
From restaurants to bars to breweries, it’s likely there’s a Shaft on the menu. With so many spots offering the iconic cocktail, we turned to the Dished readers to find out their go-to spots. Spoiler alert: there were a lot of contenders.
Whether you’re a sipper or prefer to slurp as fast as possible, here are the Calgary spots that Dished readers said make the best Shaft.
