About this restaurant

  • Great for craft beers
  • Good for groups
  • Great for happy hour
Last Best Brewing & Distilling opened its doors in May 2015. The name Last Best draws from Calgary’s eclectic history. At the end of the 1800s, the Canadian government launched a campaign called ‘The Last Best West’; it’s purpose was to populate the western prairies and grow agriculture in Canada.

The administration believed that this area was the Last Best chance in the modern world for homesteaders to lay roots and shape their futures. The accomplishments resulting from the Last Best initiative have paved the way for the budding craft beer and distilling industries here in Alberta.

Last Best Brewing & Distilling honours this historical spirit through its name and unwavering commitment to making delicious well-crafted beer, spirits and Alberta-inspired cuisine.

    Last Best Brewery came as a recommendation during our first visit to the Calgary area and did not disappoint! Our wait staff was very quick to greet us and offer excellent information and advice on food and beverages. Last Best boasts an excellent variety of beers on tap and mixed drinks to satisfy our party’s tastes. I personally thought the amber lager was amazing! Food came out quickly from the kitchen, with hot and tasty appetizers, and the mains were cooked just as we asked. We definitely came in hungry and left full! What amazed me the most was how reasonable the prices were! Last Best has a great atmosphere and a variety of seating styles to suit many needs and party sizes. Finally, our biggest shout out goes to the wait staff who effectively worked as a team to serve our table, made us laugh with witty banter and make us feel very welcome to the city! Great job Last Best!! Can’t wait to visit the area again and enjoy another meal!

    This was about the 4th time I've been here. Hosted 4 clients with one of my managers and it was great. Food was excellent, beer and service also top notch. Great casual environment, and somewhere you can look really good as a host.

    One of our favourite places in the city, great food and drinks, amazing service. but it gets exceedingly loud in the evenings. Each booth has a speaker directly over it and it seems the louder the music, the louder everyone has to talk, so the music gets raised to compensate. This continues until everyone is just shouting at each other.
