Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, party animals now have one more place to drink, laugh, eat and play! The Banquet Bar has just opened their second Calgary location and if you live in the SE, it might just be your new favourite spot.

Described as the city’s ‘premium dive bar,’ The Banquet opened in the University District last spring and has since become a favourite among those who can’t sit still.

With a full-sized bowling alley, rooftop patio, billiards, games, and more, this brand-new spot is not only a great place to grab a beer after work but a fine place to celebrate a milestone or the weekend without having to head downtown.

“We are thrilled to be opening our second location in Calgary and to be a part of the Mahogany community,” said Roger Newton, the owner of The Banquet Bar.

“We’re excited to offer our guests an elevated pub experience with unique and creative offerings, in a fun and exciting atmosphere.”

Of course, in addition to the activities and familiar menu, the Banquet Bar will also have a busy events calendar that features everything from contests and promotions to live music – so check it out, head back often and don’t forget to stretch before hitting the alley!

Believe us when we say that there’s nothing more embarrassing than having to explain a bowling injury.

Enjoy!
