The clinking of cocktail glasses tinkles through Jeffrey's Cafe & Wine Bar as whiffs of baking pastries and grilling sandwiches drift out from the kitchen. Specialty sandwiches and wraps clasp gourmet fixings of wild smoked salmon, fresh vegetables, and melted cheeses; cinnamon-raisin buns, pies, and cakes await pairings with specialty coffee drinks. Red and white wines, beer, and more than 30 specialty martinis make evenings more relaxing than nap on an alpaca.
Beneath vibrant, framed paintings and hanging lights, upholstered chairs and plush leather couches scatter across the café's hardwood floors, and outside, red and green umbrellas shade an expansive patio. In lieu of animatronic banjo players, the cafe regularly hosts live bands and vocalists on weekends.
Speers’ Beers fills every nook and cranny of its 4,000-square-foot building with wines whose grapes ripened around the globe. Vintages from the European vineyards of Spain and Italy mingle with fermentations from Australia and New Zealand, while wines from the United States share shelf space with Canadian bottles. In addition to its array of vintages, the liquor store keeps imported and craft beers cold in a 800-square-foot cooler, which recently replaced the snowman that hugged them all day.
Glassy Liquor’s expansive selection of more than 800 wines delights discerning sippers who enjoy exploratory whiffs of wine as much as pairing their libations with fine cuisine. Oenophiles looking for specific bottles can request any case be shipped to the store, and discounts for seniors and bulk purchases ensure all visitors receive their deserved ambrosia. Wine-tasting events allow samplers to test drive sips before committing to a bottle, case, or vineyard of their own.
Amber's Brewing Company's creative brews combine classic standbys with inventive and unusual flavours. The two-time Calgary International Beerfest bronze-medal winner Sap Vampire Maple Lager infuses specialty Canadian malts with maple tones, and the Pepper Berry Lager is flavoured with sundried Australian blueberries and black pepper. Four types of malt and four types of hops converge in the brewing of the Lunch Pail Ale, and coffee and chocolate flavours prevail in the smoky Chocolate Stout.
