    Lukes is more than just a corner store. They have been around a very long time. They are also a hang out place for some too. I walked in and realized that inside there is a post office, coffee shop, record store, drug store and a convenient grocery stores that have some pretty unique items for sale. Yes the store is definitely interesting. Inside is very well organized. Prices can be a premium for some. They sell unique goods like Vj's instant food (from Vancouver). Lukes also have their own brand of soap, candles and etc. Lukes isn't big to be consider a full on big box store like Walmart or Superstore. They are in between the big box and the convenient store. They are located in Bridgeland. I rarely come to this hood. I do see in the area lacking the big box / grocery stores. This is probably why Luke is still around in the area. I can't see business being the same if it was in Kensington and etc. Interesting store made for people living in the area.

    Key lime pie soft serve
    Dilanee S.

    So I haven't checked out the rest of the store, but my friend and I went to go get some soft serve from here, and wow!!!! I'm not a huge fan of key lime, however, their key lime soft serve was absolutely delicious! The portion size is so worth it as well! Definitely recommend if you're in the area :)

    Softserve Ice Cream
    Lucy S.

    Ice cream is calling! My BF and I were craving something cold, sweet and refreshing. We found just the thing at Luke's Drugmart. The best part? No long queue. RATING: 8.5/10 - Luke's Soft Serve I've said it before, soft serve is not what I gravitate to when it comes to ice cream, but the flavour called to me: "Lucy, try the strawberry rhubarb." Of course, I listened. The flavour combo worked. It was sweet, creamy and slightly tart. The strawberry was the star of the show! For two servings it was only $8, which was great value especially if you're looking for a lighter sweet treet. Luke's changes up their soft serve flavour every month and I can't wait to see what they have up their sleeve for the months to come.

    Ingenious soft serve flavor combinations, and a price worth driving across the city for. Make it a regular part of your weekend adventures, the flavors change and you will definitely be surprised by them!

    Stumptown coffee at Lukes Drug Mart
    Jonathan J.

    Disclaimer: I'm basing this review solely on the Stumptown coffee bar inside of Lukes, which is reason enough for me to keep going back. I've been a Stumptown fan for a couple years now. They're from Portland and are super serious about their coffee. I remember a couple of cafe's I'd frequent in Vancouver that served Stumptown told me that vendors are really only supposed to serve unadulterated espresso drinks; no macchiatos and the sort because Stumptown wants the roasted bean to speak for itself. I'm more than happy with this philosophy, some find it a little pretentious which I can understand, but it's all part of the allure I guess. Unadulterated goodness is exactly what I got when I picked up my coffee and took a sip of it: my lips puckered, goosebumps ran along my spine, and I'm pretty sure my eyes rolled back into my head. I feel like that happens to me with all good coffee though. In any case I'm so happy that Stumptown has made it to yyc!

    Record sale deals they had on at a special event
    JC C.

    I am pretty sure that Luke's exists to help me find all the awesome things in the world I didn't know I needed or desired. On this occasion we went for a late night record sale. Great deals to be had and wide variety. Most of the store was closed off but did get a chance to wander down a side aisle and of course pick up a couple other items. Love the quality of products that Luke's has on offer and the variety too. This is one of my favourite stores and the customer service I have gotten has always been stellar.

    My all time favourite one stop shop in the neighbourhood. Great for your morning cappuccino and fresh baked scone, funky gifts, vinyl records, post office needs, pharmacy needs, groceries and food in the basement, etc etc. This place has it all and the staff are super chill.

    delicious ice cream and huge portions, despite how small the cup may look! i had the limited edition flavour turmeric flavour - surprisingly yummy!

Most of the…read moreinventory is new vinyl. 90% of the used LP's are flea market or things you could have acquired at a Recordland Dollar Sale. However, I had a couple LPs pulled that I was somewhat interested in, but changed my mind after having a conversation with the guy behind the counter. When I entered the store, I asked if he was the owner, he replied, "well sort of". Not sure what that means? So anyway, this is where things went downhill. I had a record that was clearly stuck inside the paper sleeve due to some sort of stickiness. When I successfully removed the record from the sleeve, I asked the guy for a new sleeve and told him to dispose of the old one because the LP was stuck to something inside along the edge. His condescending reply, "oh nonsense, it's probably because the paper was folded". I thought to myself, "well that was an odd reply, what's this guy's problem? Why would he immediately dismiss the fact that it was legitimately stuck?" I've been collecting records for 50 years. I've had thousands of LPs pass through my home, buying and selling via Goldmine Magazine, and later on the internet through various platforms. I can assure you, it's not my first time removing an LP from a paper inner sleeve, Lol. But hey this is a record store, and that was your typical condescending record store "sort of owner" guy reply. Straight out of the Empire Records play-by-play handbook. Anyway, I eventually began looking for CDs near the till, and overheard part of a conversation between the "sort of owner" and his friend who'd just entered. The "sort of owner" said that he was being pushed out or evicted from an apartment or house that he was renting, and in need of another rental property. His friend mentioned Ramsay, then their discussion switched to the cost of homes and rentals today. Having lived in Ramsay for nearly 30 years, and being 6 ft away, I chimed in with my two cents, mentioning that I was very familiar with the area, and flipped a couple of houses for a decent profit several years ago. I was about to say that part of the reason the housing market skyrocketed the way it has is because of people practicing the house flip for profit. I was also going to add, that at the time I didn't have a crystal ball, it was just a job, and a means to support my family and keep a roof over our heads. Unfortunately I never had a chance to say any of this because the "sort of owner" cut me off saying "don't pretend you don't know! You're the one to blame! It's because of people like you that we can't afford to buy a house today, and why rent is so high!", bla bla bla. The next thing I know "sort of owner" begins waving his arms, ranting on and on about this. Then I asked again, "are you the owner?" To which he replied, "why, do you want to buy the store?" With that, I replied "your business must not be doing well if you can't afford to buy a home, or pay your rent. Not to mention offering to sell your store at the drop of a hat, so no thanks." Touché I thought, one insult deserves another. Besides at this point it was 2 on 1. Then he and his buddy began to whine because I hurt "sort of owners" feelings. Keep in mind, I wasn't the first one to throw any insults or escalate the discussion. To the "Sort Of Owner"... How long do you think a 120-year-old wooden structure will last? Do you think they are timeless, and don't require upkeep? At a certain point these homes need to be renovated, updated; exterior facia replacement, new insulation, vapor barriers, new roof, interior subflooring, flooring materials such as hardwood, carpet, tile, linoleum, etc. Not to mention removal of plaster walls due to mold, being replaced by drywall where framing is involved. Then we have cabinetry in the kitchen, bathrooms, as well as fixtures in the aforementioned. And let's not forget about electrical panels, wiring, and plumbing upgrading! Unfortunately these upgrades are not free, despite what you might think. Without these actions, a 120-year-old home would become dilapidated and unsuitable for habitation. The end result would be demolition, with some sort of ugly eyesore infill taking its place. Obviously the infill thing is happening on a smaller scale, but if many of those older homes weren't renovated and saved, they'd have been demolished, and replaced by more infills, thus Ramsay and Inglewood would lose their classic charm. Also keep in mind, if that were to have happened, those infills would cost as much as an older renovated home if not more. So you'd still be whining and priced out of the market in those neighbourhoods either way. Bottom line "sort of owner"...if you can't afford to buy a home in Calgary, or pay the current rent, stop blaming someone else's successes on your life's failures, as that's a losers game. Time to grow up. Typical of so many millennials, lacking perspective and never seeing anything objectively.

    Well I'm glad I waited a few years to do a review on Hot Wax Records. Had I done this 5 or 10 years…read moreago, they may have received a 2 out of 5. I first began buying records at Hot Wax in 1978 back when the original owner Chuck Newman first opened his doors. During this time, there were only a couple places one could find second-hand records in Calgary. Sandra Armitage & Ken Hague's 'The Record Store' didn't open until 1981, and 'Recordland' didn't open until 1985. So besides Hot Wax, flea markets and news paper ads, there were only a couple hole-in -the-wall stores along Macleod Trail between 12th and 14th ave (long gone now). In it's early days (1978-88) Hot Wax was a treasure trove. Besides the main floor, there was also the basement (at the time closed to the general public). Chuck used to let a few of us privileged customers dig through the "Dungeon" where there was no less than 50,000 LP's. Mostly obscure prog, jazz fusion, Krautrock, etc. Some of that stuff wasn't priced, so when you walked upstairs to the till with an armful, he'd usually say "make me an offer" or he'd simply price them, always fairly. Jump forward to 2020, and we have new owners. From what I'm told, the same folks who own Melodiya Records. The new Hot Wax is a major improvement over what many became familiar with the last 20 years or so. The previous owner (tall skinny guy grey hair) was definitely living in his own little bubble. He had zero people skills that no doubt hindered his sales and reputation. Hot Wax's new managers name is Dan. During each of my visits the last year or so he's proven to be very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful to not only myself, but to each customer I've seen venture into the store during my 1-2 hour visits. I can say the same about other staff I've encountered as well. Hot Wax is now constantly bringing in new inventory (used records), and the prices are very reasonable. Also, I find the condition of the vinyl to be much more in line with what I typically look for when purchasing used records (NM). It's nice to see this iconic Calgary record store back in good form! I truly feel those who had negative experiences and reviewed this store prior to the most recent owners taking over should pay another visit. Then maybe re-evaluate and adjust their review accordingly (if they feel inclined to do so).

    This place has been around for 30 years. Which accounts for their extensive record collection. The…read moreguy told me they have something like 800,000 of them. Which they need a whole basement to house. They also have a pretty decent used cd assortment averaging around $10 a pop. I found some good stuff here and if I still had a record player, I'd be in heaven. Some of their records go for $1. People sell and trade at Hot Wax all the time, so even the cd selection changes. It's the best used cd place I've found in town.....

After professing a love for Tubby Dog, they are now a pan-Albertan company: they opened their Calgary location in 2015, and the Beltline scene has benefitted from having another record store to haunt. Blackbyrd has built up its collection through its network of international distributors and a healthy used section, and their special orders system is efficient. The building itself is a clean split-level south-facing space it shares with Gravity Pope, generously sunlit and welcoming - an ideal browsing experience. They have done synergistic discounts between the stores, a surefire way to boost business, and their giveaways for concert tickets and the occasional turntable is welcome. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, but mostly stay out of the way until you need them - I've had a couple of fantastic phone interactions with them. The main difference between this location and the Edmonton one is size, and therefore stock. While they do have a great array of the rarer albums, their CD section is lamentable in comparison (what can I say, I hold the flame for discs - I will be there for the CD revival coming in the 2020's). The prices are largely comparable to - and often better than - Sloth. A great addition to 17th Avenue's shopping district.
