Two Rivers Distillery — Local services in Calgary

I’m so disappointed! We were so looking forward to trying this place but we didn’t even make it to drinks and left. We came in specifically for happy hour and Friday night pizza specials (as is pinned at the top of their Instagram account posts). We had made reservations but there was no table reserved. The lady that intercepted us as we were wandering around was incredibly rude that we weren’t there for their “trivia night” (had no idea that was happening…?). We sat ourselves at the bar. Waited for service without any luck. When we asked someone about the specials that night, we were given a blank stare. The bar tender had no idea what we were talking about. Every time we asked about specials or what was included or anything else he had to go and ask someone else (a group of staff standing 5 meters away) and still came back without any information. It was not busy (only 1 other table), but it felt like everyone that worked there (4-5 staff) was standing around, not willing to help. We tried to give him a chance, mentioning it was our first time but he just looked at us blankly. We ended up leaving without ordering anything. We will...

All in all, this place is definitely worth a stop.

I've never been much of a gin drinker, but the gin they have here is very smooth. I purchased a flight and tried their original gin, hibiscus gin, unaged whiskey and cinnamon whiskey. All of them were good. I was very surprised with the unaged whiskey, it was smooth but very peety. I was not expecting that from a Canadian whiskey. The cinnamon whiskey was very good, not too sweet or spicy, it was well balanced. Of the two gins, I preferred the hibiscus gin. I was very bummed that they didn't have it in a small bottle for purchase. Service was just ok, slow. The bartender was nice but she had very limited knowledge of the products, which made the tasting experience subpar. She seemed caught off guard and lost. I've been to a lot of distilleries and the bartenders always know the product inside and out. They give detailed descriptions of the liquors, notes and flavors to be expected. She was only just able to give me a partial description of the...

My wife and I came to Two Rivers with family from out of town on Sunday January 26th, and we all had an amazing time! We were fortunate to have Pat serving us that day, and he was kind enough to take the time to introduce us to Eleanor & explain the distilling process to us while fielding our numerous questions! The amount of knowledge Pat has about distilling, beer brewing, and many many other things in the industry wasn't only impressive, but it also shows that these guys really know what they're doing!

The bar area was very comfortable with an incredible view of the Calgary skyline, and all of the drinks that Pat made us (and we had quite a few) tasted amazing!! My wife & I both love caesars, and their Dill Ceasar tasted incredible.. Easily one of the best ceasars I've had! The Ducati Martini was also very popular with our group, it'll definitely get you where you're going.. FAST!

Highly recommend checking this place out, and can't wait to come back next time we venture down there...
