Beatniq Jazz and Social Club, Calgary

Put your cool on and head down (literally) to this hip spot perched in the basement underneath the Piq Niq Cafe. It may be tricky to find but that just enhances the modish demeanor, and once you do find it and get a martini in hand you can easily get lost in the seductive atmosphere and funky vibes brewing in the joint. The club is a gateway for rising local artists and established players on the local and national circuit. The bar serves drinks throughout the evening and there is a small snack menu available. The club is open from Thursday to Sunday, 8pm onwards.
