Very friendly staff in a great place. Our new favorite brewery in Calgary. We visited on New Year's Day and noticed all of the outdoor seating that must be just awesome in warmer weather. Beers were delicious and the prices were reasonable. Lots of dogs as well since it's a dog freely place. Next time we're in Calgary, we'll be sure to visit again read more

Great atmosphere & fantastic selections on draft. Our favorite was the vanilla cappuccino porter.

When our friends invited us to Cold Garden telling us it was "dog friendly", I assumed that meant we'd be sitting out on a winter patio. I didn't realize "dog friendly" at Cold Garden actually means pups are valued guests who get to sit inside with their families! We visited on a pretty busy day and there were so many dogs there. Our corgi is a bit shy so she spent most of the time snoozing at my feet. The taproom is much larger than it looks from the outside with a variety of seating options ranging from cozy couches to long cafeteria-style tables. I was driving so only had the opportunity to sample one beer, their seasonal sour, which was delicious. My only complaint is that their non-alcoholic options were pretty limited though it appears by looking at their website that this may have improved since my last visit. read more

Take a trip outside of the usual tourist haunts, as the personal experience of discovering this brewery is well worth the detour. Finally a brewery that doesn't take itself too seriously! There is a sense of humor found in everything, from the decor, to the beers names, to the wifi handle. You can admire the giant disco gnome (where does one purchase this?) as you sample the beers. The beers are fantastic by the way, which made it hard to choose a favorite to recommend. Flights are cheap, so the solution is to try everything available! read more

This definitely is the place. Located away from the downtown area is a cute garage filled with funky, artsy decor. Think flower pots, water guns, neon picture frames and an huge sword fish! Came with my cousins to grab a drink and play board games. When we first came in, the place was packed! Such a great collection of games and you can even bring you're own food! Beers are super cheap and AMAZING. $5 for an 18oz and $6 for 4 5oz flight. The IPA, Lighthouse Pale Ale and the lager were my favorites. I love a good light but juicy IPA. The birthday cake one tasted like sugary cereal! Overall I highly recommend this brewery and will definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

Nice and easygoing place to grab a beer and hang out. We had the Trop Dog, which was pretty unique and smokey. Fun outdoor seating with eclectic furniture and synthetic grass. Dog friendly. Free WiFi was also a plus. read more

You ever just go to a place and you're like "this, THIS is my favourite place" and then you have a shitty experience at some other bar and all your friends get mad because you're like "let's just go to Cold Garden"? Because that's me. Also, do you like Talking Heads references? Giant gnome disco balls, IV polls and otherwise non-Joanna Gaines approves decor? Because this is for you. This brewery has the best deal in town- $5 pints of GOOD beer, donate some money to charity and get a bowl of snacks and also a whole 'order from a delivery app because we're cool with it' shtick. You can byoDOG or baby...or both (but that's a highly ambitious amount of juggling responsibilities). Overall, a solid night out. Or day drinking, you do you. read more

Cold Garden - this is the place - Breweries Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

What a cool divey/hole in the wall brewery pub. It's located in a quiet corner road off of 9 Ave SE and it was hopping on a Thursday night. It's a shop bay with a little make shift patio in the drive. The line up was out the door. What I thought was cool was it had this bright sign in the back "This must be the place" where all the stainless brew pots were and all these Costco patio lights strung along the entire ceiling. There were miss matched old couches that they probably found in a back alley somewhere and some picnic benches. It was like they were some underground pop up pub. Loved it. The beer list was quite decent and had a lot of very unique options with cool Canadian names like Red Smashed in Buffalo Head. The best part is the prices. $3.50 for a 12oz. $5 for 18 and they go up to 64oz growlers. There is no food served and they even allow dogs to come in. But if you want food they have no problem if you bring your own or order delivery. Lots of people had pizzas being delivered. Kinda hilarious. Just a down to earth fun place to go for drinks. And there's plenty of bike parking. Will definitely be coming here again and again. read more

Anywhere I can bring my 4-legged best bud is usually in my good graces! Throw in the fact that you can bring in your own food, hang out with friends and drink some locally crafted brews then you know you're in a super cool place aka Cold Garden! They had about 9 beers on tap, and at $5 a pint you're not having to dig deep into your pockets to try a bunch either! I enjoy sweet or citrusy beers so Cakeface (a vanilla bean based lager) was one I was excited to try. If you've ever wondered what it's like to have dessert in a delish boozy form, this is it! It does get busy and seating is limited. They could improve the set up of their benches and flow of the bar so people aren't climbing over each other to get up or clustered in weird places (hello random group of guys hovering awkwardly by the women's washroom) So grab your dog, some eats and head to Cold Garden already! What are you waiting for? read more

My new favourite local brewery (shhh, don't tell the others)! I've heard that the brewery is having their soft launch this Friday, but they've been open for a few weeks now. If you have trouble finding it you're not alone - look for the teal roof on the building at the end of the street heading away from Inglewood and you can't go wrong. We headed here on a Friday evening and there were NINE beers on tap. You can get a flight of 4 x 5oz beers for $6 and then once you know what you like, get a 12oz 'pantleg' (get it?!) for $3.50 or a 18oz pint for $5. Which is probably the best deal in town. Plus once you've picked your favourite(s) then growlers are only $6 (32oz, refill) or $12 (64oz, refill). More importantly, the staff here are super lovely and excited about their beer. Plans for food are in the works but for now there's just some packets of chips for $1 so eat before you go so you won't have to leave! read more

Have you ever wondered what having your insides hugged? Or have you ever thought, "gee, wouldn't it be great if I could drink a birthday cake that could get me drunk?" well this place has got you covered. Also, they let pups in the establishment, which is great because one time I got drunk and went to pet what I thought was a dog... long story short, I was bitten by a raccoon. At Cold Garden, raccoons are not allowed, only dogs which is safe for animal lovin' drunks like myself. Also, you can order food via your mobile app so yes, you can get yourself 50 pieces of chicken nuggets delivered to you and sit there like you are some sort of chicken nugget king! #nuglife read more

Wow! We're from Colorado so forgive my beer snobishness, but these guys were great! Exceptional service, funny down to earth staff and great beer. 18 beers on tap and we tried about 8 of them, all delightful. Good vibes, great taproom, hilarious bathroom wall literature. 5 out of 5, would come back, would recommend. read more

This place is so cool!! It is a brewery with the service side decked out in old furniture and picnic tables - so very casual. The other part - they ENCOURAGE you to bring in your dogs! It was my first time going, but it was a regular spot for my new colleagues. They love dogs. We walked in and there were dogs galore! Just hanging out as their owners had beers. The Cold Garden even sold some doggie snacks! Very cool, place. Then I had the beer...aaaaammmmmmmazing! The one that really stood out was the Cakeface! A delicious lager with vanilla notes. Amazing. Go try it now! read more

This is one of my favorite breweries n Alberta, just wish it wasn't so far away! We were lucky enough to visit while I was on a business trip, along wth a couple of other breweries down there but I fell in love with this place immediately. It's got a very fun and eclectic vibe with lots of eccentric memorabilia and decor and a cool open concept with multi-coloured pool noodles on all of the industrial hosing. Unique and exciting, for sure. We were there on a weekday afternoon but the place was buzzing and everybody seemed to really be enjoying themselves. We found a cozy couch and drank our way around the menu. By far, my favorite was the birthday cake ale. I don't believe there's any hot food available, but they have snacks by donation which I thought was pretty cool. Next time I'm in YYC, I hope to be back. read more

I don't think I am sympatico with the kookiness of this brewery. I came with a larger group for a friends birthday and the service was extremely rude. I also asked for the WiFi password and was given the run around by 3 different employees. It's not a big deal if you want to keep the WiFi secret... just be straight with me. I'll keep negative comments about the beer to myself as well. read more

Nice place but very lively, so be prepared for noise. I think there may have been a special event going on because it was very crowded and they had a silent auction on the side. Anyway, the beer was great. I don't know what the food tastes like, but it looked like a few people were enjoying pizzas. I like that this place has board & card games to play as you sip on beer & socialize. It has a cool industrial interior with funky decor as well. It's worth your time to stop by. read more

The beer was good, furniture comfortable, the artwork is very original and very interesting. The ambiance is very unique with the dogs and dog lovers intermingling. Unfortunately the bearded bar tender was impolite, boarding on rude. Aside from his attitude issue it was an enjoyable late afternoon / early evening venue. read more

Funky brewery in Inglewood, I'm a fan because they are dog friendly (always gets bonus points in my book), have great priced beer, games, and lots of seating. Tucked just off 9th Ave it's a convenient location to stop in at with a bunch of friends to enjoy a local brew. Lots of seating means you'll probably be able to find a seat and the staff are always friendly and upbeat when I have been in. read more

Fantastic craft beer at 5 dollar pints always. Love the idea of kids and pets allowed with fire pits! love the friendliness and fact you can order food and have it delivered. Great unique concept and look inside. read more

Such an interesting place! It feels like hanging out in someones garage/basement in a good way. Dogs are allowed so that also makes for a fun environment since dogs are the best kind of people haha! They dont serve food, but they allow outside food or snacks and beers are only $5!!! Whats not to love! Munchie dispensers there too for treats by donation. We got there later in the night and a lot of beers were sold out- but the selection looked really good and sample flights were also available. Seating is either picnic table type benches etc and couch nooks, but of course those primo spots are taken early on I imagine. Overall a great casual place in the city if you dont want that foo foo high heel type bar experience. Try it out! read more

Packed on a Sunday with families and dogs!!! Serve in 18oz glasses. Great atmosphere!!! read more

Hands down one of my favourite bars/breweries. I love the quirky atmosphere that includes pool noodles, actual skis for the beer flights, free pub snacks, a massive disco gnome, couches galore, and so much more! Also, it is a dog friendly facility so there always many cute dogs roaming about. read more

I'm so stoked on calgary's emerging microbrew scene! Cold Garden is an awesome place, and their beers do not disappoint! They have a LOT of taps for a micro brew, I've seen as many as 9! That's a bunch if you must try them all :D Staff have always been friendly, and it tends to get busy so probably you'll be sharing a table with some other beer lovers too. The cakeface is a favourite (birthday cake flavour ale, but it's not what you think at all! not sickly sweet, it's hard to describe but it's great!) We've enjoyed hanging out here a few times. They don't have food as yet, but so far they seem cool (and even encourage!) for you to bring your own food. I've watched Inglewood pizza deliver a pretty steady stream of pizzas here. Just remember to bring your own food (or bring your phone to have something delivered!) It's kind of hard to find, but it's real close to crown surplus in Inglewood. read more

I got roofied here. I tried to contact the brewery multiple times through phone and email and never heard a response. I wanted to make sure that the people who drugged me were not allowed into the brewery. Obviously this brewery does not value safety of their customers. I know it's not the breweries fault it happened, but it would be nice to know they cared about wellbeing of their customers. Sad because I was becoming a regular here. read more

The bartender was a bit rude when I was thinking I was ordering a banana split and it turned out to be a trail mix flavour so that is why I'm giving it a 4 star. That experience made me not want to order anything to drink. However the ambiance was really cool and very different so it made the experience really worth while and I would go back for that. read more

If you like indoor outdoor casual ambiance with old couches and dogs walking around then this is the pub for you. If you are a metro man with your fitted shirts then look elsewhere. All kinds of craft beers at cheap prices. They don't serve food though, which would be their only downfall. They should at least have bags of chips or pretzels. Hint hint. I will return. Artwork is cool too. Wish they had better promo material. Kind of girly. read more

Amazing beer and really good prices, one of the cheapest places I've come across. Their beer is hand crafted and the staff is incredible. Dogs are allowed and it make the atmosphere so much fun. If you are in the market for beer on another level cold garden is the place to go read more

Dogs, $5 Beer and Amazing Art... One of the owners, Dan, is absolute gem of a human and has a great team there!

Cool place. Went on a weds night and it was quite busy. Dog friendly and lots of dogs, $5 beers. Had the stout.

Absolutely love this place. Cool place to run into your neighbours, or meet new friends. Cozy and fun atmosphere, affordable and tasty brewskis. Faves include This Must Be the IPA and Saskatoon Summer something.. haha. They are community minded and hold events and work with their neighbour to create a cool little area all year round. They've adapted to restrictions with fire pits, heaters, and a massive astro-turfed outdoor patio. They really embody the DIY unpretentious spirit of the Ramsay-Inglewood community. Oh and the beer is great too. read more

This is a fun place and they make great beer! We were directed here by the bearded bartender at nearby Dean's Restaurant and were happy to take shelter from the rain in the comfortable and quirky setting of the Cold Garden! read more

This is by far one of the coolest places I've ever been! The aesthetics are awesome, the beer was extremely tasty and flavorful (I got a flight and loved them all). If you're in Calgary, I'd highly recommend stopping by. You can bring your own food in- our neighbors at our table brought Inglewood Pizza (right around the corner) and I'd highly recommend the pairing! Also, this place is cheap!! $7 CAD for a flight?! You're definitely going to get a cool picture out of your visit, too read more

So i am sitting in dt hotel lounge and try the vanilla cappuccino porter. It is so good i chug it and walk 3 km to find the source of this amazing beverage of the Gods. When i arrive...wow. place is hopping. Great vibe. Friendly good service. And oh yah the beer is good and the beer is cheap. 5 bucks a pint. 6 for a flight. Everyone here is cool and laid back. If you havent been here...go there. read more

Visited Cold Garden in Inglewood for the first on Saturday July 10 for a staff appreciation night What an awesome place!! Very rustic/warehouse style not a very big place so you will sharing tables with others. The staff were super friendly, the beers are fantastic I wish I could of tried the cakeface beer but they were out of it. Also bring your own food as food is not served there as of yet. Run don't walk to this awesome little gem of a craft beer establishment!!! read more

Dogs, $5 pints, great atmosphere, eclectic decor and positive graffiti all over the bathroom... what else could you ask for?! It's easy to make new friends at Cold Garden! read more

Couple of friends and I checked out Cold Garden on a cold, snowy, February night. Great addition to the Ramsay/Inglewood area in my opinion. The staff are exceptional; their service and knowledge were expertly refreshing. The selection of beers is enough for the hippiest hipster to the average Joe that wants his cold lager without a backstory. If Yelp offered Half stars this would have been 4.5 stars. The only thing keeping it from a full 5 star rating is the use of High Power Industrial (Might be High Pressure Sodium?) lighting employed on site. I understand the need to light up areas to play board games and such, but it felt like coming from the warehouse I work in and stepping into another warehouse. We left after about an hour, in part due to the lighting. Lighting aside (and hopefully looked at down the road?) we'll definitely be back. read more

We must have visited on an off day yesterday. Bartender was arrogant and rude. If you can't answer a question about flavours in the beer without a sassy rude response then ? lt wasn't just me as the customer also waiting to order cpuld.also not believe the rude responses. I know others who have spoken highly of this spot so may give it another shot. Took guests from out of town so it was a bad day for a crappy experience. read more
