Many visitors to Calgary don’t realize the excitement that occurs during the evening hours in the various nighttime establishments, as well as the good eats and drinks that they serve.  Sure, during the day and early evening hours, there are plenty of parks, hockey games and other recreational activities to enjoy, but there are just as many after hour hot spots as well.  Check out these local restaurants and bars when you’re looking for a great night out in Calgary.

For instance, if you are into easy lounging and great jazz, then the Beat Niq Jazz & Social Club is a bistro and jazz nightclub that offers treats for your ears as well as your stomach.  The Beat Niq Jazz & Social Club also includes the Piq Niq Bistro that is accessible from the nightclub through a side door that leads to an alleyway and the bistro itself.  The bistro is located on the side of the Grain Exchange building.  The atmosphere of the establishment itself is one of dim and intimate relaxation.

Located next to the to several little theatres, you’ll find the Auburn Saloon.  The Auburn Saloon has been referred to as Calgary’s “theatre bar”.  This “saloon” is well known for its martini list and several entrees and appetizers such as the Crab, Artichoke and Sun-dried Tomato Dip and the Smokin’ Ranch Chicken Pizza.

If you’re hankerin’ for a taste of the Old Country (Irish country that is), then The James Joyce might just hit the spot.   In addition to live music on Saturday night, you’ll also find an atmosphere that will take you back to the days of the ol’ pub.  The establishment itself is dominated by a long, antique bar that serves the finest Guinness stout in Calgary.  Plus, they feature the most authentic Irish carvery meals in town.

If tasty tapas and fondue treats are what you seek, then the Laurier Lounge will peak your interest.  Enjoy any number of fresh tapas and fondue with Swiss cheese, chocolate or beef as well as a great martini or glass of wine from their wide menu of options.
Now, if you’re not really looking to eat, but would rather enjoy the perfect Classic Martini, then you’ll want to hit The Oak Room. Located in the Fairmont Palliser Hotel, you’ll find this swanky little bar – complete with ornate ceilings and leather lounge chairs.  The Oak Room has a reputation for concocting the perfect Classic Martini.

I’m having a chocolate fondue party and am trying to come up with some delicious things to dip into the chocolate. I’ve got marshmallows, poundcake, pretzels – what else?

Thank you!

Most people spend a great deal of time planning their guest list or deciding on food and decorations but do not devote a great deal of time to planning activities for their New Years Eve party. They may plan on having a live band or a DJ to perform but otherwise they may simply expect the guests to entertain themselves by dancing to the music or socializing with other guests but do little else in terms of planning activities to keep their guests entertained at the party. However, there are a lot of fun activities which can keep the guests entertained throughout the evening.

Planning on having karaoke is one excellent activity for a New Years Eve party. This activity encourages guest participation and allows the guests to entertain themselves throughout the evening. In fact karaoke can even provide a very cost effective form of entertainment for all the guests even those who opt not to participate. Karaoke will provide the guests with music and singing at a much lower price than it would cost to hire a live band or a DJ for the event. The music may not be as high quality as it would be if you hired a professional but of course that is also part of the fun of karaoke.

Hosting a murder mystery event is another fun activity idea which is becoming very popular for New Years Eve parties. These events are typically a dinner theater where guests are encouraged to participate in the drama and work together or alone to try to solve the mystery of the evening. You can either hire a troop of actors to perform the murder mystery and allow the guests to interact with the actors to try to solve the mystery or you can assign guests to portray different characters including the victim, the murderer and the other guests. The guests should keep their identities a secret to keep everyone else guessing.

The food can also be a source of entertainment for the guests at a New Years Eve party. You can serve items such as fondue which require the guests to participate in the preparation of the food. Another idea for an activity is to design a party where the preparation of the food is a part of the party. For example you could hire a sushi chef to come to the party and teach the guests how to make sushi. The guests can all make their own sushi rolls and the sushi prepared by the guests can be served as appetizers during the party.

Activities as simple as viewing movies can even be fun activities for a New Years Eve party. If your party has a particular theme, you can select a series of movies which reflect the theme of the party to keep your guests entertained throughout the movie. You might even serve foods which are typically found at a movie theater to tie the theme of the event to the food.

If the New Years Eve party will include children it is important to spend some time planning activities for the kids. You might want to include some kid friendly activities as well as activities which are suitable for children and adults. If there will be adults in attendance there should also be activities just for the adults as well to ensure everyone has a good time.
