Nine years after opening its doors, Shelter Cocktail Bar is celebrating with a party that feels very on brand: nostalgic cocktails, familiar faces and a few surprises behind the bar.
On Sunday, July 27, the Calgary favourite is hosting a one-night anniversary celebration featuring cocktails at 2017 prices, a limited menu of returning classics and 25% off bottled cocktails.
The biggest draw? A guest appearance from The Chickadee Room, the acclaimed Vancouver cocktail bar recently nominated for North America’s 50 Best Bars. Known for its creative cocktails and playful ’80s-inspired menu, the Chinatown bar will be serving drinks alongside Shelter’s team for the evening.
Rather than a formal anniversary event, Shelter describes the night as a chance to reconnect with the community that’s supported the bar over the past nine years, whether you’ve been visiting since day one or you’re planning your first stop in.
