Betty Lou’s Library - Calgary, Alberta

Such an unforgettable experience! You feel like you’re transported as soon as you pick up the phone. The customer service is incredible and the drinks are exquisite. We indulged in the Blueberry Layer Cake and it was full of flavor and texture. The live jazz was icing on the cake. ... The band was extremely talented and was the perfect touch to such a transporting place. Read more

A very spy chic experience! Don't tell anyone your password!! Love the elegant antique furniture and the music adds to the truly fascinating speakeasy atmosphere. The bar tenders are friendly yet professional. The drinks 🍸 are high end and are certainly worth it. Go for the titillating burlesque show. You ... won't regret it! Read more

I rate the cocktails as 5/5 because this place is clearly made to lounge about and indulge in excellent drinks in a dreamy, nostalgic setting. The experience is what brings you to this place. You have to follow the red light down the stairs to an old telephone that you pick ... up to speak your personal password into for your reservation. Someone comes to get you from the library wall and you are escorted into a room with antique furniture and black and white movies projected onto the wall. The cocktails are named after people from the early 1900s and they were all wonderful. We had the "Alice Joyce," "Anaïs Nin," and the cocktail special "The Great Gatsby," and the Old Fashioned special "To Have and Have Not." They were all amazing, but my favourite was the "Anaïs Nin" with its autumnal pumpkin flavours that made me feel all snuggly inside. The food menu is bare-bones, so I will say that you should really plan to come here to enjoy the atmosphere and drinks rather than eat. I would really love to come back for a Burlesque or Jazz show in the future to see how the room feels with that kind of setup. Very neat speakeasy and a one of a kind experience. Read more

Hhidden gem of a cocktail bar is a nostalgic journey worth taking. Reservations are a must, but the unique experience begins there – they provide a secret code to unlock the door, adding an extra layer of exclusivity. Once inside, you're transported to a bygone era with its old-school charm. The ... telephone ritual to announce your arrival adds an element of mystery, making you feel like a VIP. The ambiance is a perfect blend of vintage aesthetics and trendy vibes. The bar's attention to detail is remarkable, from the classic black and white videos playing on the walls to the carefully curated playlist capturing the essence of that era. Sipping on expertly crafted cocktails while immersed in the atmosphere is an absolute delight. For a night of exceptional cocktails, a touch of secrecy, and a journey back in time, this bar is an absolute winner. I can't wait to return and unlock more flavors from their time-traveling menu.
