What’s good Calgary? Guess what, we’re back with another small list of must hit events to spice up your week and give you something to look forward to. Whether it’s low key or full on celebration it’s in the list.
This week we’ve got
- Mocktail Fest
- Drag Bingo
- Shrek Trivia
- Birthday Boil
- Flames vs Ducks
Zero Proofs Given Mocktail Festival
First up on our list is the Zero Proofs Given Mocktail Fest taking over several bars in Calgary, and we’re so here for it. Mocktails aren’t just for designated drivers or the Dry January crowd anymore; they’re a legit vibe. A delicious, refreshing, and responsible way to cap off a long workday, especially when they’re crafted by some of Calgary’s top bartenders. And trust us, some of these drinks look *chef’s kiss* good. Participating spots include Aloha Modern Kitchen, Second Son Kitchen, Melrose Calgary, Sumaq on 17th, Deane House, Tops Pizza South, The Attic YYC, Vegan Street, Untitled, The Derrick, and Home & Away. With so many venues and a full month to explore them all, you’ve got plenty of time to sip your way into spring, no hangover required.
Drag Bingo
Next up, we’re heading to the iconic Dickens for something a little more fabulous and a lot more intense, Drag Bingo! Honestly, who doesn’t love a game of bingo with a side of sass and sparkle? Hosted by a dazzling drag performer, this isn’t your grandma’s bingo night (unless your grandma is extremely cool). For just $10, bingo card included, you get a full evening of laughs, drama, and the thrill of yelling “BINGO!” in a room that will absolutely erupt with joy.
Shrek Trivia
If you’re craving something even more delightfully unhinged, we’ve got Shrek Trivia Night at Two House Brewing. Yes, you heard right. It’s time to don your best ogre ears, gather your noble steed, your trivia crew, and dive deep into the swamp of Shrek lore. There will be prizes, bragging rights, and even a feature green beer to get you into the full Far Far Away spirit. Bonus points if you can quote the entire “Duloc welcome song” by heart.
Birthday Lobster Boil
Hungry after all that? We’ve got you covered. Head over to Blowers and Grafton where they’re throwing down for their birthday in true East Coast style, with a lobster boil. This is no light snack. Your ticket gets you a full Atlantic lobster, mussels, prawns, Chris Brothers pepperoni, juicy corn, spuds, and a warm baked cheddar biscuit to soak it all up. It’s a maritime feast without having to hop on a plane.
Flames vs Ducks
And finally, to close things out, it’s time to cheer on the Calgary Flames as they take on the Anaheim Ducks at home. The Flames are in full-on fight mode for a playoff spot, and this game is huge. Anaheim’s been struggling, so this is a golden opportunity to snag two critical points and get back on track. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to catch a game, this is it. High stakes, home crowd, and playoff energy in the air? Let’s go, Flames!
There you have it Calgary, another nice list of eventful exciting things to get you pumped up for the end of the work day. Stuff to get you engaged and going out, excited for the evening! Whether it’s mocktails or lobster feasts we hope you enjoy!
