About Bridgette Bar

Bridgette Bar operates as a chef-driven bar at 739 10 Ave SW in Calgary's Design District, part of the Beltline neighborhood surrounded by furniture showrooms and art galleries. Since opening around 2017, it has served lunch, dinner, and late-night menus daily, with hours from 11:30am to 11pm Monday-Tuesday, extending later on weekends. The menu features seasonally inspired food using fresh, locally sourced ingredients from Alberta. Options include snacks, pastas, pizzas, wood-fired meats, and vegetable-focused plates such as beet salad, endives, cauliflower, carrots, trout, and cod. Garlic bread stands out as a noted favorite. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices are available. The drink program offers creative cocktails—both crushable and high-octane originals—alongside craft beers and a wine list. Daily matinee happy hour runs 2-5pm with a snacks-only menu, and late-night service is available Sunday-Wednesday from 10-11pm and Thursday-Saturday from 11pm-midnight. Minors are permitted in the main dining room until 9:30pm. Reservations are recommended via OpenTable; for wait times or general inquiries, text 403-700-0191 (reservations not accepted by text). Street parking is available nearby.
