Our story
At Business & Pleasure, we create a low-lit cocktail-bar hideaway in Calgary’s Inglewood neighbourhood, tucked behind Super Variety and entered through the alley. Our space pairs a cocktail-forward program with thoughtful food, genuine hospitality, and a warm, intimate atmosphere. Sometimes you can have both.

This Place!From the money we arrived we were welcomed and felt very much at home!The decor is classy and we'll put together, the music playlist felt curated and matched everything to a T!We had the Italian pop up food menu, plus 4 cocktails and we adored everything we had! Luke looked after us the entire night and he was a pure gem of a person!I will always recommend Business & Pleasure to anyone even remotely in the area, it's worth the visit!!!!
Drinks, Food, Music, Service, Overall Vibes were all immaculate.Don't Leave Me This Way was playing, I had my delicious cocktail (the Primavera) and canned mackerel + chips / aioli / pickled onions... what more could you want?I can't wait to go back.
Equal parts intimate and lively; a cocktail bar with a focused, multifaceted menu that brings refinement and nuance to every corner. The unique atmosphere is anchored by a man whose hospitality goes beyond welcoming, into warmth.A tight food menu with indulgent snacks is supplemented by the sumptuous joys of Super Variety--an excellent compliment, without overshadowing the cocktails. Our sandwiches were excellent (as always, with Super Variety) and the fries were a great pairing for our last cocktails.Such craftsmanship for cocktails is a rare treat and the staff behind the menu has a passion that overflows into everything here.
10/10 — hands down some of the best drinks I’ve ever had the pleasure of trying. Every cocktail was crafted to perfection, and the food delivered an incredible balance of classic flavors with a modern twist. An unforgettable experience from the first sip to the last bite.
We visited last night for the first time, and generally it was a great experience. Our server was fun, upbeat, and obviously enjoys what he does, which showed in his personable nature.Both of the food items we chose were excellent, the Buffalo Cheese is a spin on a caprese salad that blew both of us away, and the Chicken bites were also extremely tasty.For drinks, we tried 4: Monkey Works was excellent and well balanced, as was Mr Overtime, Stocks and Bonds lacked a general punchiness and flavour, and Work Wife was not quite balanced right for our tastes.Overall still a solid spot and we would happily go again to try the other drinks!

Somewhat of a speakeasy but definitely a great spot to have a fancy drink, some small bites and to talk (for business and/or pleasure). Not meant for entirely large groups aka greater than 4 (just a bit harder to accommodate it seems) but perfect otherwise. Small space, some patio spots for bigger groups in the summer /warmer weather and an overall dark but chill vibe.
There’s not many spots you can honestly say everything slaps. The layers of complexity in the cocktails and the depth of flavour in the food was just a step above. From the lavender forward Chic-A-Cherry Cola cocktail to the partially sun-dried tomatoes in the wedge salad everything has that extra time commitment that truly creates a culinary experience.
Stumbled across this gem late one night. Had the option to sit on the beautifully decorated deck outside or the in the front. We got there when the kitchen had closed so we were only able to order drinks, but I’m sure if we had any of the food- it would’ve been delicious! Incredible and unique beverage choices that have little descriptors of how they taste beside them- which I thought was pretty cool! Luke helped us out and totally made our night!
My partner and I go to B&P's regularly for their martinis & oysters. We are in love with a small, quaint space with character and good energy - and the staff + atmosphere here really make it worth coming back every time. Both food and service is always on par and memorable.
This bar is the perfect spot for an intimate hangout with friends. The vibe is cozy and inviting, the service is amazing, and the drinks are creative and delicious. Every cocktail felt thoughtfully crafted and full of unique flavors. Can’t wait to come back!
In part because it’s so small and tucked away, by the time we had finished our experience at business and pleasure, my friends and I felt like we were insiders to knowing about this secret little gem of a place. Our waitress made us feel welcome and delivered excellent service. We each got one of the sandwiches on the menu that she recommended, and they were all delicious, as were the cocktails that we ordered.
