  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
For almost thirty years, Buchanan’s Chop House and Whisky Bar has served contemporary food in a classic Calgary room. Michael and Carol Buchanan opened this neighbourhood icon in 1988, and the result is a family run, West Coast style restaurant that is true to the Chop house tradition. Buchanan’s proudly serves Alberta beef, pastas, soups and sauces – all made from scratch. In the grand tradition of the chop house, they are proud to offer fresh fish, chowder, a world-class wine list, and one of Canada’s most extensive whisky lists to round out your experience.

    A classic local Calgary chop house. One of the best bars and burgers in town for a scotch and burger afternoon.

    I love Buchanan’s, if you play your cards right you can have a great meal for a reasonable price, especially considering the fact that they are a better than average restaurant!

    The best place in Calgary! Perfect blend of classic chill atmosphere and unreal food. And the patio is perfect - not crowded and noisy but also not boring. Always a time at Buchanan's!
