Sun’s out, patios are open, and you’re in one of the best spots in the city to take full advantage. Living at HAT 14 means being steps from some of Calgary’s best food, drinks, and sunshine—all without having to hop in a car.
Here are 5 must-visit patios to check out this summer, all within walking distance from your front door:
🍸 The Rooftop YYC
📍 414 3 St SW
A rooftop patio with a skyline view? Yes, please. The Rooftop YYC is just a quick walk from HAT 14 and offers everything you want in a summer hangout: great cocktails, casual vibes, and sweeping views of downtown. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay for “just one more.
🍻 Cactus Club Cafe – Stephen Avenue
📍 317 7 Ave SW
You can’t go wrong with this downtown staple. Whether you’re popping in for happy hour or settling in for a long lunch, the patio here is always buzzing. Plus, it’s only a few blocks from home—easy walk there, easier walk back.
🍷 Barbarella Bar
📍 240 8 Ave SW
Barbarella’s street-level patio is the definition of chic. Known for its European-style dishes and bold cocktails, it’s the perfect spot for date night or a bougie brunch with friends. Bonus: it’s got some of the best people-watching downtown.
🍹 Last Best Brewing & Distilling
📍 607 11 Ave SW
Craft beer, creative bites, and a lively backyard-style patio? Count us in. Last Best is a local favourite for a reason—great atmosphere, friendly staff, and it’s dog-friendly too. Bring your crew (or your pup) and enjoy one of the best beer patios in the Beltline.
🥂 Ten Foot Henry
📍 1209 1 St SW
Okay, so this one’s more about the food than the patio size—but trust us, it deserves a spot on this list. Ten Foot Henry serves up veggie-forward dishes that even non-vegetarians crave. Their cozy outdoor space is ideal for low-key lunches or quiet evening meals under the summer sky.
