Betty Lou’s Library

I was really impressed with this speakeasy. I try to find one in every city I visit. Some are good and some are not so good. This one was classy and elegant inside and reminded me a lot of the one in Rome. Our waitress was really kind, I forgot her name but she definitely treated us well. The drinks were on point and strong. But most importantly I appreciated how the manager treated each table. Especially when a certain incident arose she handled it very well and resolved everything so professionally. Canada treated us well. So thanks ey 😀 Sorry no pics

I made reservations for 1 at Betty Lou’s as it is one of the higher rated bars in Calgary. Lucky me, I made reservations on their Jazz night (Thursday night). I did research prior to coming to Betty Lou’s and found out I needed a password to get into this speakeasy (pretty cool). I called around opening, told them my name, and was given a personal password to use at the front door. Some quick tips: Make reservations on yelp! Try to shoot for Thursday, Jazz nights. Call in when open to get a password Located in the basement/lower floor of address on Yelp Dress semi formal. I saw someone get turned away for wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I had a flannel button up and jeans ( other people wear in blazers, dress shirts, etc.). Ambiance: flapper era vibe, with purple lights, nice chandeliers. Jazz night was great with awesome music. Drinks: ON POINT!! So good that I ordered two!! The double smoke manhattan was super unique. It was Smokey and tasty. The Jane Erye was very refreshing, and good too!! Service: super friendly staff! Great recommendations and felt very welcomed! Overall: one of the best speakeasies I’ve been to. The drinks, vibe, service, etc. I’ll definitely be back when I visit Calgary again!

Checked out this underground bar for burlesque night and jazz night. It’s nice, sophisticated place for a night out. The drinks are great but grab some dinner before heading here as they only offer light snacks such as fruits and crackers. Also, make sure to book a reservation for the special nights as they are usually booked a couple weeks in advance.

How fun! This tiny speakeasy is tucked away downstairs and behind a bookshelf door. We popped by without a reservation and were able to be seated right away on a Wednesday night at 11. Delicious drinks and swanky decor make for a very fun experience.

Celebrated my friends bachelorette party here and she loved it ! Such a gorgeous atmosphere and the cocktails are great.
