about national

FINE FOOD, BEER & SPIRITS

National is a restaurant & entertainment venue inspired by North American tastes, with games and events, extraordinary food, and select craft beers. A place filled with Calgarians who embrace being Calgarian, National is the ideal place to unwind with friends, host a private event, or soak up the sun on a patio.

Our original location, on Calgary's bustling 17th Avenue, has been a popular hangout since its doors first opened. Long, communal tables and ample seating make it the perfect place to meet new people, and to gather with friends for a brunch, lunch, or dinner.

At National on 10th, we've maintained the charm of our 17th Avenue location, while creating the best place to eat, drink, and play in the city's core. Settle old scores on the ping pong and foosball tables, or head downstairs to bowl a few frames at our 8-lane bowling alley.

National on 8th is perfectly located in the heart of downtown. Situated in Scotia Centre, National on 8th boasts western Canada’s largest rooftop patio! Soak up the sun while playing a round of cornhole or ping pong. The +30 interior space features smaller seating arrangements, and a private room, to accommodate business lunches and intimate gatherings.

Nestled in the corner of southwest Calgary, our Westhills location brings a little downtown flavour to where you live. The food menu is big and well-considered, and dishes pair well with our curated selection of craft beers from small North American brewers.
