Commonwealth Bar and Stage - Calgary, Alberta

★☆☆☆☆ I recently visited and had an incredibly disappointing experience. The club enforces a ridiculous policy of only allowing entry to men if they are accompanied by women. This outdated and discriminatory rule is not only unfair but also incredibly sexist. It sends a message that single men are not welcome ... unless they have a female companion, which is absurd. Moreover, this policy creates an uncomfortable environment for everyone involved. It treats women as mere entry tickets rather than patrons who are there to enjoy the night. It also discourages groups of male friends from enjoying a night out together. The staff was unhelpful and rude when we questioned the policy, showing a complete lack of respect and understanding. It’s 2024—it’s time for common wealth to update its policies and treat all guests equally, regardless of their gender or the gender of their companions. Until then, I will be taking my business elsewhere and encouraging my friends to do the same. There are plenty of other clubs in the area that do not have such discriminatory practices. Read more

Keltie is the best bouncer/security guard she was so nice and helped us out giving us water bottles. If you ever see her working please give her a big thanks because she is the best worker I have ever seen here! We love her!

The music is nice downstairs. Don't go upstairs very crowded smells bad and youngsters are looking for troubles. Overall below average the only time when a DJ from the states came downstairs that was fun. Downstairs is much safer and decent. Arrange your lift becarful when ... you leave outside lots of careless rowdy youngsters other than that it's fine. Read more

Nice small concerts. Sound quality isn’t the best but it was a fun time. Drinks are average price and taste normal.

It is my first time partying in Calgary and it was a blast. I really enjoyed that night, I went with my new found friends. The atmosphere is so good. People were so cool and the DJs really hype up the crowd. Thats a good first impression. I wish to ... come back again soon. Read more
