We’re Last Best Brewing & Distilling, Calgary’s most unique brewpub, and the fourth location in the Bearhill Brewing Family of Breweries.It’s our privilege to be the community liaison for beer, and beer culture, and we don’t take this role lightly. The beers we make are a direct reflection of the values and personalities of you – our customers and our community. We believe that pubs should be hubs that bring people together; a place where we can grow community, and the culture of beer, in a fun and interactive environment.

Our beers are fresh and delicious because we make them in-house using the best ingredients for everything we produce. Which isn’t hard here in Alberta – we are literally surrounded by a sea of barley, making (in our opinion) Calgary the Last Best opportunity for the craft brewing industry and brewers like us.

    Very loud, you need to scream across the table for people to hear each other. The food is decent but for the price it is far to expensive. I paid 22 dollars for a fried chicken sandwich and mediocre fries. Service was good but not amazing.

    I love coming to Last Best before hockey games. Seriously the best nachos in the city. This time we added the brisket to them and they did not disappoint. I’m not a huge beer drinker but tried their Tom Collins and absolutely loved it. The stinky pizza is also prob my fav item on the menu. Just a great place.

    We absolutely love this establishment, and have been going for years. Unfortunately, this business hasn’t been unscathed by inflation. The Eggs Benedict “Biscuit Benny” was probably the best Benny we have ever had, but unfortunately, it’s a shadow of what it used to be. It’s a great price point $16, but I would love to pay more for what it used to be. Also, the poached eggs on both orders were all hard, which was disappointing. We’ll keep frequenting this establishment, as the service is always amazing. The Beers, Burger and Pizza’s are Amazing!

    Love it here - great beer - great food / busy fun vibe - great place to watch any sports game. Bartender was angry all night - tried to pull it together but swearing and not hiding it too well. Made it a bit uncomfortable but he rallied so we stayed. Otherwise staff is always great there. Hopefully a weird one off experience.

    A very cool brew pub. Great beers - some brewed just downstairs - and great food (if a little pricey). A busy night so the service was a little on the slow side but nothing too serious. Good atmosphere, good location - recommended.

    After spending over $300 we were asked to leave because of the next reservation. I won't go back. Terrible structure that puts the establishment ahead of the customer. I felt bad for the server as the manager wouldn't even come and speak to us.

    Had a $14 cocktail that only tasted like lemon concentrate and the pepperoni pizza was underwhelming. This place used to be great but it’s a gouge now. $10 for an 18oz beer pour? No thanks.

    When making a reservation, the only times available on a Saturday night were 5:30 and 5:45 for two. We took the 5:45 and arrived to a practically empty room! It didn't even start getting busier until about 7. Wait staff were very attentive and bartender very helpful in selecting a wine. Korean dried ribs and wings were excellent! Music a little too loud.

    It's all about the beer really - sure, food is important but let's face it - it only has to be adequate if the establishment makes sensational brews like this locale. The IPA has always been unique, full of complex flavour like a rich ale but with enough hoppiness to classify as a true IPA. Then, there are the hazy beers, especially the lighter hazy Pale Ale .....Mmmmmm! It's a noisy place; too noisy for me really - and with more TV screens than I care for - but worth coming for excellent beer, decent grub (the roasted sprouts are particularly good) and very friendly service.
