4 Calgary spots make Canada's 50 Best Bars 2022 list
Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants just revealed its 2022 picks and now, the 50 Best Bars list has been released, too.
No Calgary bars cracked the top 10 this year, but four bars made the list that you have to check out in 2022.
Proof was the highest-ranked Calgary bar on the list at #12. This is a seven-place drop from the previous awards, where the excellent cocktail bar on 1st Street was ranked at #5.
The judges praised Proof for its menu, “full of clever surprises and complex flavour combinations.”

Toronto’s Civil Liberties has taken the top spot, while Botanist, located inside Vancouver’s Fairmont Pacific Rim, landed the second slot.
