Last Best Brewing & Distilling - Calgary, Alberta

My husband and I stopped here for dinner and drinks one night. We loved the vibe! It's cozy and comfortable, good music playing but not so loud you can't have a conversation. Service was excellent despite it being a busy night with limited staff.

The beer offerings are robust, and every drink we tried was very good. The food menu has lots of options, including vegetarian, and there are many familiar dishes with a twist. We tried the halloumi fries, the Maui Waui pizza, and the Stinky Cheese & Honey pizza - all were top notch.

We would definitely come back again.

Great Brewery, distillery and restaurant. Came in a group of 7 with 3 kids. Service was quick and very professional. Had a flight of 6 beers to try out most of the core brews. Loved all of them, the Tokyo drift was probably my favorite buy Also enjoyed the pilsner and black lager. Food is terrific and the pizzas are some of the best I've had. Definitely recommend for people who like beer or gin.

We visited for a quick dinner after work and had the smash burger, it was tasty and the food came quickly! We were greeted and seated though I’m not sure if we would have been offered the patio without asking (I asked as we began walking to our seats).

The server said hello and then said she’d be back with water. Okay why not just bring the water?

She then brought water and some free samples of a coffee ale of some sort, aaaand disappeared again.

Okay so we ordered, our food came quickly and was as expected, the fries were piping hot which was nice.

I don’t recall if our server checked in but we did notice some bees flying to/from their nest in a hole in the wall adjacent our table. Hey maybe we’re all for the nature but if I had an allergy or phobia I probably wouldn’t want to eat next to a wasp(?) nest.

I ordered an annex root beer (delicious) but it came with a ton of ice which kind of ruins the flavour. I don’t know if Annex (here in Calgary) serves it on ice.

We paid and the prices were reasonable but wish the service was a little more personable or attentive — it wasn’t even terribly busy, just an average Wednesday at 5pm.

I think I would go back, but I see room for
improvement. 🙂 Thanks for the tasty food and sunny patio!

Variety variety of beers and drinks, no complaints there, but food was HORRIBLE, probably one of the worst sandwiches I ever had. Other friends ordered some other food and it was looking awful.

Service was nice and the waitress was nice and polite.

Overall, I won't come back here for sure, and I recommend visiting only if you like beer and drinks!

We had a taste of the New Zealand Pilsner and then got the Lime Ranger Lime Lager and a Negroni which is brewed in house. All of them great! We got best fried pickles we’ve EVER had and we also had the Dirty Bird Chicken pizza that was phenomenal as well. To top it all off we got the Spiced Carrot Fritters they were the best ending to such a good meal! Great service and so kind it’s really a place where the people who work there love the food.

fairly large and attractive place with a very pleasant staff. The beer was really good. Probably the best we have had in Canada over the last month traveling about here. really loved the Tokyo IPA. food was pretty good too. Highly recommended. except maybe the July 3 hail storm “)

Happy hour food and drinks is relatively decent. Service started great with a free sampler, but fell off the cliff when we said we were waiting for happy hour that was 10 minutes away- clearly she didn’t want to serve us after that comment. Frozen Burnt Martini was good but appears to be a bartender malfunction that served me with a half glass full- I pointed it out to the server and he said it was normal, even though the previous order was at least 3/4 full. Bizarre but sure: enjoy your tip. Pizza was good, and I recommend the wings plain (salt and pepper) as it’s pretty crunchy. Korean spicy bbq sauce was decent.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Last Best thanks to the amazing bar team! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The bartenders (Jordan and JP) were knowledgeable about their craft beers and cocktails, making great recommendations based on preferences. Not only did they provide top-notch drinks, but they also created a fun and welcoming atmosphere that always makes me feel right at home. I will definitely be returning to enjoy more of the delicious brews/cocktails and friendly service. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great time out in town!

Only negative I would say is that the bar stools are in major need of replacement or repair. Most wobble, are uneven/slanting. Doesn’t make the sitting too comfortable.
