The Derrick is an affordable, locally sourced restaurant that features a food menu comprised of traditional classics, seductively smoked meats and a spirit menu with an emphasis on gin, all paired within a cozy atmosphere that should make you feel right at home. The Derrick will be open early for breakfast, corporate lunch and an lively happy hour headlining the areas leading drink specials. So, p

ut your feet up or join the party, welcome to The Derrick! When Alberta’s first oilfield sprang up along Sheep Creek in southwestern Alberta, oil patch communities “growed like topsy.” Since then Calgary has been a boom and bust city but has always conserved a romantically, nostalgic element of its late 1800’s/ early 1900’s, western charm. The Derrick looks to preserve that humble perception by creating a sanctuary for Calgary’s everyday oil-man and corporate community. A place to escape the daily hustle of the office and enjoy a well made drink and hearty food.

Blow-Out Hour is just the warm-up.

From 2–6pm, our Blow-Out Hour sets the tone with great drinks and even better deals.

But if you really want to experience The DERRICK, stay for dinner.

Our kitchen celebrates the best of Alberta — Brant Lake beef, Noble Farms bison, local ingredients, and bold dishes built to pair with great cocktails and one of the largest gin selections in Canada.

Happy Hour starts the night.
Dinner makes it memorable.

The new dinner menu has officially landed at The DERRICK.

Alberta beef, bold flavours, and the kind of plates meant to be enjoyed slowly with a proper drink in hand.

The New Dinner Menu Has Officially Landed.

As of tonight’s dinner service, The DERRICK enters its next chapter.

More intentional.
More Alberta.
More flavour-driven.

From Noble Farms bison to bold seasonal features — this is the direction we’ve been building toward.

Dinner starts tonight.

Let’s eat.

We’ve been building quietly — working with local farms, refining plates, and sharpening what an Alberta Bar should taste like.

Noble Farms.

Say Cheese.

This isn’t just a new menu.
It’s a return to what we do best — bold, local, and built right.

Stay close. Dinner is about to change.

Something wild is coming to dinner.

We’ve been working quietly with local farms, sharpening flavours, and building a menu that feels more Alberta than ever.

Meet the new Bison Burger.
Local bison.
Smoked brie.
Arugula.
Caramelized onion.
Sun-dried tomato aioli.

This isn’t just a new item.
It’s a signal of where dinner is headed.

Lunch is getting fresh energy — but dinner?
Dinner is the real evolution.

Stay close. It won’t stay quiet for long.

Friday, checked.

The Piña-Groni hits that perfect middle ground — a Negroni with a tropical lean, born out of late nights, curiosity, and bartenders who don’t like rules too much.

It’s smooth, a little unexpected, and exactly where Friday nights should land.
Dinner’s on. Cocktails are dialed. Stay awhile.

Saturday nights at The DERRICK are entering a new era.
No more playing it safe.

It’s Alberta beef, turned all the way up.
Cocktails with an edge.
Music that grooves.
Service that doesn’t miss.

Dinner in downtown Calgary just got gutsier.
Let’s make Saturday a night worth dressing up for.

Dinner at The DERRICK doesn’t just happen — it unfolds.

Alberta beef, bold cocktails, a little attitude, and that feeling you’ve been missing. We’ve been quietly sharpening the edges, and soon, a new menu arrives with even more reason to linger past Happy Hour.

Book a table. Bring someone worth staying out late for.

Something new is coming.
But until it drops, the room still fills with that familiar crackle—
Seared Alberta striploin.
A stirred gin cocktail.
A quiet table in the back, with just enough glow.
Dinner at The DERRICK was never just dinner.

Reserve now. Stay a while.
You’ll want to be here when it hits.

Add a gin pairing (or wine, we won’t judge).
