A jewel like little bastion of calm and cocktails in Calgary. 10 (?) seats adds to the coziness. Laid back and unpretentious. Excellent craft cocktails and a short but proper wine list. Small plates to accompany. Groove beats on rotation on the record player. Great location to while away an hour or two.

This is a great spot in the heart of Calgary to grab a glass of wine or whisky (especially Japanese whisky) and a snack.The space itself is quite small so it can fill up quickly, more so now with pandemic-related table spacing in place.Since it's owned by Annabelle's Kitchen next door (formerly Blink), the wine selection is top notch.Order the fried olives. You will NOT be disappointed.

I love cocktails and finding new places to experience the great hospitality that is YYC. Tonight was my first experience with Annabelle. I was quickly taken in with the cozy feel and wonderful atmosphere. Soon after I was disappointed with my cocktails served in water glasses and generic glassware all round for any cocktail you ordered. I feel for 13.50 my Manhattan should come in more than a water glass with ice cubes. The popcorn is a nice touch and is delicious but doesn’t make up for the lack of attention to the cocktails and one size fits all etched glassware for wines. I hope to give them another chance and that the quality will grow over time and they can match the wonderful space they call home.

Very cool little joint. And by little, I’m talking 8’ wide. Perfect place for a glass of wine and some cheese. Beautiful design. Perfect service.

What a great little place. We had the place to ourselves. We had fun listening to 70's Vinyl. Our bartender, François was GREAT! So much fun! We'll be back!

I liked the decor and feel of this place a lot but I was very disappointed in my experience. The wine selection is okay, not huge but what they had was good quality. They don’t make any cocktails besides gin and tonic even though there are a few whiskies on the menu. The biggest problem was the food. The plates are served cold, which is not made clear, so imagine my surprise when the grilled asparagus came out of the fridge. Everything was under seasoned, the “prawns” were basically frozen shrimp you get in a bag at Safeway tossed on a pile of arugula with a bit of dressing. That was $12. Ridiculous. I hope things get better because it is a cool little spot, but if there isn’t a vast improvement in the food this place will be closed in a year. Won’t go back.

Love this little gem! Very cool romantic little bar tucked in right beside Blink. Full menu! Great wine. DJ spins and takes requests sometimes. Same owner as Blink and she is a delight. Support your local restaurants, we are losing them too fast too often!

Lovely staff. Delicious food. Amazing wine list. I had my bridal shower here in September with a small group of ladies and it was the perfect venue. The staff were friendly and communicative during the planning process, and the day of. Jordan is an absolute gem behind the bar! This is a great place for an intimate venue, or date night.

What a great place! We visited on a busy Saturday night and enjoyed drinks, the bar tender recommended me a Japanese whisky for a take on a Manhattan and it was excellent. Ambiance of a New York place with friendliness of a Calgary host 10/10
