Unique, Weird & Quirky Restaurants in Calgary

The Casbah goes all out on décor with glowing lanterns and gorgeous rugs, offering a colourful, intimate dining experience with all the delicious Moroccan cuisine and hospitality!

A very niche theme for sure, the décor in this brewery is '88 Olympics inspired (which were held in Calgary, for my younger readers 😉). Expect bright colours and Olympic memorabilia.

The full 1950s diner experience with retro diner booths, stacked buttery pancakes, bottomless coffee, oooh and milkshakes!

The famous Canadian sports entertainer, Brett "Hitman" Hart, has his very own bar inside Cowboys Casino. It hosts all kinds of sporting events and displays cool wrestling memorabilia!

Class Clown may be less about the theme and more about the burgers, and I feel like that's okay when the burgers are this good. The theme here is sort of 1970s-1980s and sort of old-school McDonalds.

A galaxy-themed bar that is out of this world! It's got planets and stars projected all over the ceiling to make you feel like you're dining in outer-space. Plus, they have super cool astrology-themed cocktails!

Inside one of Calgary's oldest buildings is a brewery that recreates all kinds of historical beers. Taste century-old beer recipes inside a Victorian-style taproom that transport you straight back into the 1800's.

All aboard, Calgary's first and only bullet train sushi bar! Its a concept from Japan that has super-fast little trains bringing food straight to your table. It's a convenient and fun way to enjoy your sushi!

Strippers? More like chicken strips! This cheeky chicken shop is decorated like an 80s neon disco club. Plus, the chicken tenders are so good, you might even wanna dance on the tables. 

Take a trip to the wild side at Safari Grill! The fully decked out zebra and savanna-inspired dining room is a fun environment to enjoy its East African menu.

A Japanese convenience store and eatery that looks like it jumped straight out of an anime. Stop by for tasty imported snacks, fresh onigiri, ramen or even a sushi platter. 

Why not grab a coffee and repair your bike all in one trip? Bike & Brew has all your cycling needs, with a coffee shop on the side. And it's a great community hub for bike enthusiasts.

There are only a handful of swings at this light and airy themed restaurant, so make sure you grab them while you can!

A Latin restaurant that brings greenery and vibes of an upscale tropical getaway.

The Rooftop YYC is perfect for when you want a bit of summer patio feel in those winter months. It's bright and colourful and always sunny.

The name says it all! They offer that tiki bar experience right in the city with vacation-inspired drinks and cocktails. 

A lush plant-filled brunch spot with emerald walls that feels like a relaxing green oasis. 

This brewery is themed after dogs! Everything from the beers to the décor is pup-inspired! And yes, dogs are welcome!

Grab coffee, tea, or goodies at this cat café.  It's $10 to visit with the cats for 30 minutes with all proceeds going to the Meow Foundation.

A super quirky and iconic brewery with vibrant, wacky decor that also welcomes furry friends!  

Clay Pot Rice has robot servers that drive around the restaurant and deliver your food to the table. Fun!

You’ve got to meet OMOBOT at OMO Teppan! Owner Eric Sit’s creation zooms from the kitchen to all 11 teppanyaki tables, delivering food like a pro before heading back for more. 

I have yet to visit this one, but apparently, they also have robots that deliver food to your table!
