I've been to Wine-Ohs twice this week! It's that good! The first time I ordered the Mushroom Tart - oh my! It was delicious! The mushrooms are cooked so delicately and piled high on the 3 pieces of puff pastry. The tarts sat on some arugula. Nice light lunch for a hot day. The second time, I had the Sea Bass - double oh my! The sea bass was so tender as it's pan-seared. It sat on a pea purée... more
What a great little place - good food, great wine and really friendly staff! My boyfriend and I were delighted to find this little spot on my first night in Calgary. We had the roasted nuts and shared the noodle bowl. Both were very good. The broth in the noodle bowl was wonderful and I could really taste the lemongrass, which I love. The bottle of wine we ordered (recommended based on our... more
I'm in love! Wow, I really love the mushroom tart. I could eat it every moment of the day and night!!!
Not only the mushroom tart makes me to wanna go back, the flavor and spices all together remember me of the food in Europe, full of taste! Finally a restaurant that makes me think of home! Besides the food also the entourage looks like a restaurant there is in holland and the wine is good,...

After we shared a mushroom tart and decided it was delicious I watched a guy on another table recieve one. He took his first bite and really took the time to taste his dish. After he swallowed he took a moment to review his bite and then mentioned to his company how amazing that was.
Such a joy, visiting one of these rare places that just get it right. Great foot bursting with flavour,...

I had stopped going to this place when it was still called Beatniq. We went back last week and I really enjoyed how the renovation in the basement has made it much more pleasant.
You will enjoy the music, the atmosphere, the service, the drinks and the food of course!
For weekends, make sure you check their website and events calendar. If you are going for the music in the basement, go early...

Two years later we are in town for our honeymoon. This place is our favourite. We have tried new meals and new wines. Still the best food we have had in Calgary. There is something to be said when it is our absolute favourite place to dine, yet not the most expensive by far. This place is classy, unique, and cozy. Extremely good value.
So you grew up with a Mohawk, ripped jeans and patches of your favourite bands sewn with safety pins to a beaten up leather jacket, starting the rough but friend fights with your friends in the mosh pits of all ages shows at the old Multi Cultural Centre. Recently, you find yourself in love with the finer, more adult things in life. Maybe you appreciate the depth in a bold merlot. You enjoy... more
I went here last night to watch a show and I got there a little early. I asked if I could buy tickets and the server had said unfortunately no, but he would take my name and ensure that I got a seat once the show starts. Once I arrived later on I went downstairs to the cellar, where there was a bar and more seating. The bartenders were also personable and you could tell they were very... more
I've yet to eat upstairs so this is a review of the basement only.
This place is pretty sweet, I sure miss beatniq but they've done a good job keeping good, although different, music programming. The venue is nice, as are the staff, they greet you when you walk in and seem cheery. They are however a bit slow and will often only visit you once. I've had a handful of instances where it seemed...

Absolutely loved it, came here with a group of girlfriends and we all had a great time, impressive wine list, friendly staff and beautiful dessert presentation!
Met friends here on the night the Hired Guns etc were playing. Was almost put off by the cover but the music was amazing and got a CD so well worth it! Service however was THE WORST. Not only did our waitress have major attitude (sorry we're ordering drinks and food?) but she forgot our orders and it took 15 min from time of ordering MINIMUM to get a drink (and that would be one of the drinks... more
Wine-Oh's reminds me of a cute little bistro that you find when you're in Europe. We only been there twice and the gentleman taking care of us both times, remembered us and was very accommodating - in fact the reason we went back the second time was because of the wonderful service we got from him previously.
The interior and feel is upscale and romantic without being pretentious. The food and...

We attended the breakout music festival and enjoyed some great music and atmosphere in the basement cellar.
It was very busy and we managed to find the last table on this place tucked in the corner which was fine with me as I can still hear the music no problem.
Waitress was our table in about 4 minutes and took our order and returned promptly with our drinks and came by fairly often to make...

So disappointed! This used to be a place I loved to come. Lots of wine, cozy and live tunes downstairs.
I came here for a stagette on the weekend. First off trying to book the spot was a challenge, they were unaccommodating and had all these rules for us. Some of us got there right at 5, and some slowly trickled in over the next hours. Let's be honest here, you're dealing with 12 girls, it's...

Love the live music venue downstairs however a group of us had dinner sat night here. The food took an hour and 40 min. One meal had to be sent back and four of our dinners were ice cold but we were so hungry and just wanted to get out of there so ate it anyway . Disappointing
Good wine!!... Cool ambience and the appetizers are good too. For me the best one was the cheesse plate. It was really good. The music was cool, and the prices ok. This is a place where I would go back with a group of friends to have a good time and appetizers... more
This place is a fabulous, intimate place to go have dinner on a date. The place was quiet, but in a good way and the food was phenomenal. The place is relatively expensive - $130 for two of us to share a starter, have a great entree, dessert and one glass of wine each. It was worth every penny. The service was pleasant and thorough. The presentation of the food was nice and everything was... more
Head down the alleyway behind Bistro Piq Niq until you find the grey metal door marked Beat Niq. Enter a backroom and head down the stairwell into a low lit club with a bit of red lighting. Bench seating and high tables line the walls, lower tables and chairs fill the rest of the space.
Order yourself a bees knees cocktail or something from the wine list. Sit back and enjoy the small and...

Beat Niq drips of cool. Like the kind of cool you expect to find in 40s jazz places, with pinstripes, leopard print and an entrance through the kitchen with a door off the alley.
Sometimes when I walk into Beat Niq, I feel like the staff should address me as 'doll' and that something is about to 'go down'. This makes me glad to sit at a tiny table in a cramped basement bar, sip a hellava...

Found my way to Beat Niq's via an UYE organized by the one they call the Angelo. Great live Jazz, though you may have to come a bit early to get good seats. Deadly martini's, eclectic crowd and Jazz tunes that make your soul climb out of you and shuffle to the groove. Not that I lifted myself into hyperbole or anything. Huge fan and I love this place!
Cover $15. Martini $10. One of the best...

I've loosely heard of Beat Niq Jazz Club from other people and never took much interest in going. What a fool I was-I still am, but much less of a fool these days-for not taking an earlier interest and checking this place out!
We stumbled into Beat Niq's Jazz basement on a cold night seeking adventure and people. There was a live performance and a gentleman visiting from down south brought...

I went here for my birthday one year; dressed in a red satin cocktail dress and metal heeled stilettos (that one of my dude friends told me made me sound like a clippety cloppety billy goat when I walked, hahahaha) and felt like a sophisticated grown-up lady. Who knew?
Live jazz, with an amazing drummer who kept the beat even though at one point he was drumming so fast that one of his...

Go for the jazz, stay for the Gerussi Martini's. Srsly - you have to try these things, they're to die for.
