So fun!!! One of the best date night/night out spots in Calgary. We had an amazing time spending the evening at Alvin’s. The food was pretty good, the short rib croquettes were a bit dry, but the cured salmon tartar was amazing. The cocktails were good too, but the atmosphere was the best. Barry Shaw was performing and did an incredible job. The staff were all very friendly, and we had an amazing experience. Cannot wait to visit again!

Went here for date night. It was a little out of the way for us, however, I’m so happy we came here! This spot is so unique and the live music makes it totally worth it. The food was fantastic, the wine was excellent, and the atmosphere was amazing. A all around, and we definitely will be back!

We had a wonderful time on our Wed date night! The 100 per couple price for a 3-course meal was a great deal. The food was tasty, live jazz was enjoyable (10 cover pp), and the service was top-notch. The elegant and clean facilities added to the ambiance, and free parking was a bonus. We'd definitely recommend this spot and look forward to returning.

Listen, im a die-hard lala land, so when I heard that Calgary had a jazz club, I knew I had to go, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere and music are seriously top-notch. The food is great, but it's obviously quite expensive. I can never justify 20 for a salad, but i can not deny that the beef tar tar was quite good. Overall if you want that Lala Land experience. This is the place to go

Just checked out this awesome place for the first time! It’s got a cozy, romantic feel and really good food. The band was solid, though pretty loud :). We chilled for a couple of hours on Saturday night, enjoying some blues tunes. Can’t wait to come back!

Alvin’s Jazz Club is an amazing place to eat and relax. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt special—classy and cozy, with live jazz music that made the night even better. The food was incredible. We started with some appetizers, including a caviar dish that was as beautiful as it was delicious. Everything was fresh and perfectly put together. For the main course, I had a seafood pasta that was absolutely delicious. The lobster, shrimp, and edamame were cooked perfectly, and the flavors worked so well together. The little cherry tomatoes added a nice touch. For dessert, the mango sorbet was light and refreshing. It was the perfect way to end the meal. You can tell they put a lot of thought into every dish. The service was excellent too. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Plus, the live jazz music in the background made the whole experience feel extra special. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy great food and a wonderful vibe, Alvin’s Jazz Club is the spot. Highly recommend it for a night out!
