Welcome to the Derrick

Nestled in the heart of Calgary, The Derrick embodies a true Albertan experience, paying homage to the province’s rich history of oil, ranching, and western charm. With a cozy, saloon-inspired atmosphere, our space celebrates Alberta’s roots, from the bison head proudly displayed behind the bar to the steer head overseeing the dining room.

Our food menu features locally sourced ingredients, including Alberta beef, and showcases traditional classics and seductively smoked meats—crafted to comfort and delight without being confined to a barbecue label. Complementing the menu is Canada’s largest gin selection and a cocktail program as unique as Alberta itself. Every drink is a multi-sensory experience, crafted with house-made ingredients, house-made bitters, and a deep appreciation for the art of mixology.

The Derrick is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place where Calgary’s oil men, corporate professionals, and everyday adventurers can unwind. Whether it’s a corporate lunch, a lively happy hour with the best drink specials in town, or a hearty dinner paired with blues-rock, rhythm and blues, or the occasional live performance from local talent, The Derrick is your sanctuary from the hustle.

So, whether you’re putting your feet up after a long day or joining the party, we invite you to step back into Alberta’s storied past and experience its enduring spirit. Welcome to The Derrick.
