Coming in just ahead of Milk Tiger Lounge at No. 44 was Bar Annabelle . It offers up spirits including Japanese whisky in a posh setting , with vintage records providing the background music. It’s described as “evoking the old-time glamour of a luxury rail club.” The bar is popular with the city’s theatre crowd, according to the website.

The best bar in Calgary, according to the list, is Proof , which ranked No. 8 across the nation. With only 60 seats, Proof offers up an “overwhelming” list of cocktails on its menu. They are crafted from a selection of 300 bottles of premium spirits . The list authors say “cocktail wonks” will appreciate “a slate of lower-alcohol drinks that make the most of sherry, aperitivo and other obscurities.”
