An Albertan gin mill in downtown Calgary serving Alberta beef, smoked meats, strong cocktails, comfort food, and Canada’s largest gin selection — all in a polished-but-unpretentious room built around genuine hospitality.

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.
