Eighty-Eight opened back in 2018 as a love letter to the '88 Olympics that put our city on the map, and everything about it screams good times without trying too hard. Neon signs, old TVs stacked behind the bar, cassette tapes on the walls, and that perfect mix of nostalgia that makes you smile the second you walk in. The beers are the real star here. They brew everything from crushable hazy IPAs like Hi-Fi to wild experimental sours and seasonals with names that crack me up, like Duotang or Wave Pool. Nothing feels pretentious, and they always have small-batch stuff on tap. Pair that with their Portland Street Pizza, those thick, crispy Detroit-style squares with chili honey or whatever wild topping they're slinging that day. Reviews rave about the vibe being welcoming no matter who you are, and how they nail that community feel in Calgary's craft scene. It's the kind of spot where you show up for one pint and end up staying for hours, and that's why it's a total gem.
