Hayden Block Smoke & Whiskey is a bbq joint in the heart of Kensington, Calgary, Alberta. Smoking our meat from 10-14 hours, people love our brisket but we have a selection of meats, trays and sides to choose from. Join us inside or out if the weather permits, or on our backyard whiskey garden open year round. Drinkwise we’ve got the largest whiskey list in town, and an ever-evolving cocktail list anchored by our smokey old-fashioned. We’ve also got a bunch of beer on tap, with some local favourites and international selects.

    The food (meat, salads)was very good however, the dessert was not great. Pecan pie was old and stale.

    My friends and I went here for a dinner before a show and the service was excellent. The food was amazing and the price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend anybody that likes good food and good service to go to this place. I’ll be back for sure.

    Great time ! We had a few appetizers and the brisket was excellent. Great whiskey as well as Moscow Mule . Really liked the cosy atmosphere. A little bit too noisy but quite normal as we were sitting right in front of the stage . Good times !
