Rose & Crown in Calgary has permanently closed its doors
There were so many sad restaurant closures in YYC in 2022, and unfortunately, there is another permanently closed restaurant just a few days into the new year: the Rose & Crown.
This is an iconic Calgary pub and a fixture of the community for more than 35 years. it’s located at 1503 4th Street SW.
It was originally a funeral home built in the 1920s and was turned into a bar in 1986. The traditional pub and restaurant was also said to be haunted.
The well-loved pub is reportedly home to three spirits, (not including the dozens behind the bar), which are of a little boy who often hides behind the furnace, a middle-aged lady dressed in white, and a man who is believed to be her lover.
The team announced the closure in a sudden Instagram post.
“With saddened Hearts the Rose and Crown will be closed permanently,” stated the post. “Thank you for all the love and support over the years.”
