It’s time to forget that tattered madness of the outside world and seek refuge from the storm. SHELTER exists for the weary urban traveler to step into a new world, a private alcove offering a selection of delicately crafted cocktails, precisely chosen wines, and a variety of shared tasting plates to sate one’s hunger.

Combining roots in pre-prohibition style cocktails with cutting-edge, modern mixing technology, SHELTER features a seasonally rotating cocktail list, as well as an extensive selection of sought-after spirits and wines. We serve a boutique collection of sharing plates combining local ingredients and international flavours. We promise only one thing, an intimate fallout experience.

SHELTER cocktail bar is a one-of-a-kind location, unique to Calgary. Designed for small groups and parties, the room houses several standout design pieces, including an artfully decorated wall of gas masks, and a beautifully crafted light fixture featuring over 5,000 individually hung bulbs.

Our cocktail menu blends unconventional ingredients, modern spins on classic concoctions, and unique mixes, all designed to amuse the senses and intrigue the mind. Our wine selection houses old world classics as well as newer, lesser seen bottles from smaller vineyards, as well as local gems from vineyards and wine culture throughout Canada. We also supply a selection of local beers and ciders.

Our food menu offers a curated selection of small bites and sharing plates. A hybrid of locally sourced goods with international flavours. Blending resources from local merchants, and the food supply stored in our vault, our cuisine offers cured, pickled and fresh variants for an array of dietary preferences and tastes.
