Container Bar - Calgary

Such a cute little place in a great neighborhood. Drinks were good. Service was excellent.

A gf and I have had this spot on our radar for quite some time. We both had a very different expectation of what we found. I don’t know why, but I expected it to actually be a container which was a very cool concept. The furniture was just regular patio furniture and ambiance wasn’t super welcoming. There was music until 11;15 and then they turned it off. I assume they had closed but no one told us about this. I ordered a paper plane (which didn’t list lemon juice in the ingredients on the menu so I asked to include that). It came a completely different colour than I have ever had and it did not taste right. The server was lovely and said the bartender would remake. It was a bette colour the second time, but heavy on bourbon flavour. A paper plane had equal parts bourbon, amaro, aperol and lemon juice. You shouldn’t taste any of them strongly. My gf ordered a classic margarita and the first was super salty. Not the rim, the actual drink. It was remade, but then all we could taste was cointreau. They do make a good Moscow mule though. The cheese bread tasted good, but was very greasy. The fries were yummy.

Fun atmosphere, great drinks and service!We stopped by for a quick drink and snacks. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. Drinks were tasty and the food was excellent. It’s a nice little spot to hang out and chat. Although we didn’t stay for very long, I’ll definitely come back to try more items on the menu.

What a lovely time with lovely people! Container bar was such a fun and wonderful place to go with great drinks and food. The staff was incredible and very loving to our pup, ensuring she had water and was well loved. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Super cool place! Drinks and snacks are delicious and the staff are wonderful!
