    10 THINGS TO DO IN CALGARY DURING THE FEBRUARY LONG WEEKEND

    10 Things to Do in Calgary During the February Long Weekend

    Try to snag a spot at a new cocktail bar with only eight seats, check out some live music, attend a skijoring event and more.

    Local restaurant Eight is notoriously difficult to get into with only eight seats a night. But now, After Eight, the newly opened cocktail bar partner to Eight, gives you an extra chance to try one of chef Darren MacLean’s exclusive concepts. After Eight is an opulent speakeasy (also only offering eight seats) serving world class cocktails using rare spirits and local ingredients celebrating Canada’s culinary landscape. Access to After Eight is offered to diners of Eight, but any remaining spots are available to the public for walk-ins — add yourself to the waitlist through the special phone in the Alt Hotel Calgary East Village lobby, or through Open Table on Eight’s website.
