Ladies, leave your man at home. There is no better city in Canada for an epic girls night out than Calgary, Alberta.

Rest assured, it’s more than cowboy boots and country tunes.

Calgary has plenty of class and sophistication to make your night out special. Whether it’s your best friend’s birthday or a much-needed night away from the kids, prepare for an evening of fun.

You can rent a party bus or limo in Calgary to get around to these locations! Girls night is just as special of an event as a stag or stagette! Start with happy hour and sightseeing, end with premium drinks and dancing. Of all the awesome things to do in Calgary, here are the best for a girls night out.

1. The Best Happy Hours

The night is young, and it starts early! Happy hours are the best way to kick off your night. Plus, the deals during happy hour are unbeatable.

Start with Cactus Club Café on Stephen Ave. Their happy hour menu is bursting with colourful and fresh cocktails. The Passion Fruit Bellini is a must, as is the Whiskey Ginger Smash.

For more kick in your happy hour, head over to Tropical. This Mexican street food bar has some of the city’s best mojitos and margaritas. If you’ve never tried the Blackberry Margarita, you don’t know what you’re missing.

Happy hours usually occur between 4-6PM, and again from 9PM-close. Go for the pre-dinner service to mark the start of an amazing night.

2. Check Out the Views

Did your girls’ night really happen if no pictures were taken? Make sure to hit all the best photo ops in the city to capture your memories on film (or on your iPhone).

The first place you must check out is the Calgary Tower. This 190-meter free-standing observation deck with a glass floor gives you the most spectacular views of the city. If you get there after dusk, make sure you take time to watch the LED lights show. They also have a revolving restaurant called Sky 360.

Another spot for taking pictures is Crescent Heights

3. Exceptional Eats

After all that sight-seeing and posing, it’s time for some eats! Calgary has one of the best foodie scenes in Canada, but there are two specific spots you must check out.

First is Julio’s Barrio. This fun restaurant serves Mexican cuisine and ensures every reservation is a fiesta. The Baja Fish Tacos and Barrio Burrito are their biggest crowd-pleasers.

Second is the Japanese Village. You and your girlfriends can enjoy some mouth-watering steak or lobster with your Cherry Blossom Cocktails. Plus, your meal gets prepared on the grill right in front of you!

4. Take a Cooking Class

Add an extra element of fun to your meal by cooking it yourself. At Cooking Co., you can attend group cooking classes and enjoy the finished product with your friends.

The Cooking Co. calendar lists all of their upcoming lessons. Choose from classes on mixed meat grills, Florentine specialties, and many more.

Each class comes with two complimentary glasses of wine to enjoy while you cook. There’s also a gift shop where you can buy gourmet ingredients and gift baskets.

5. Catch a Show

Entertainment is key for a great girls’ night out. Take a break from the stirring and whisking and head over to the Pumphouse Theatre.

Catch a classic like Moby Dick or see some up-and-comers at the Common Ground Festival. The theatre has a long, fascinating history in the Calgary community.

You could also check out Theatre Calgary. This playhouse hosts world-renowned plays and musicals. From Billy Elliot to Grease to A Christmas Carol. They also host symphonies and orchestras.

The Theatre Calgary is located in a cultural and artistic part of town. Take a walk around the nearby streets and you’ll find museums, galleries, and live music. You may also find yourselves wandering into hole-in-the-wall restaurants and bars.

6. Drinks at Craft Beer Market

To end the night, grab a pint at Craft Beer Market. This is one of the best venues in Calgary for craft beer. It’s known for having dozens of beers on tap and a vibrant food menu.

Some of their most loved dishes are the Avocado Bacon Sandwich and their BBQ Beer Can Chicken Sliders. There are plenty of shareable options for your whole group.

For an extra special night, book your reservation on one of the monthly Brewmaster’s Dinners. Each course is served with a beer pairing from that month’s brewery spotlight.

Craft Beer Market also has a popular happy hour from 9PM until closing. Enjoy the $5 Moscow Mules and house wines.
