• Nightlife in the City - If you’re looking to party, Calgary has several options for fun after the sun sets. Calgary’s staple LGBT nightclub is Twisted Element in the Beltline, where you can hear dance music, see drag performances, and meet locals. Other queer bars include The Backlot, which is more a neighbourhood pub, and the Texas Lounge, which is a more intimate space and offers cheap drinks. For More Info Click Here

• Dining and Date Nights in Calgary - Though you won’t run into an issue at most restaurants in Calgary, it’s difficult to guarantee you’ll feel comfortable 100% of the time. For the most part, restaurant establishments in Calgary treat LGBT couples and families without any discrimination. The worst you should expect to face is that a restaurant may mistake you for two friends, or else put you in a corner in the back of the establishment. Though very rare, you are perfectly within your right to ask for a different table. For More Info Click Here
