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.

    I had a business lunch for 7 and they put a mandatory 20% gratuity on the bill. Then, handed me the machine and asked for more. This is overtly presumptuous and greedy. Likely wont eat here again. Food was good. Service was good, but not enough to bring me back.

    We booked a table of 4 on a Monday nigh. We were excited about trying different beers. That part was nice, the service was really good. However, the food was very disappointing. Also they were out of different items on the menu and the menu is already limited. None of us enjoyed our meals. I would maybe go back to taste different beers and gin but not to eat.

    Atmosphere was fun and the food was really good. The chairs at the high top tables quickly become uncomfortable.

    Food was amazing, service was terrible. Our server was not attentive at all, even after I explain that we had a concert to go to. Sat there for a long time before anyone took our drink order or even acknowledge us. Then It took forever to get the server back to take our order and then for our food to come out. We ended up being late for a concert.
