The Tavern Collective is opening its first location in Deerfoot Meadows in Calgary.
The brand-new public house will be situated in the former premises of the renowned Shark Club Bar & Grill in South Calgary. It is expected to open before the end of the year.
It promises to deliver an affordable experience that is a fusion of new and timeless in a light, open space, said the brand in a news release.

“We wanted to remix the best of Gen X, Y, and Z to create a social destination for all of the community that’s casual, friendly, and welcoming,” said Alan Howie, President & Chief Operating Officer of Northland Restaurant Group. “The Tavern Collective blends the best of the classic pub with the nostalgic thrill of blast-from-the-past music and entertainment, all wrapped in an elevated, unique aesthetic. A space that’s both familiar, intriguingly offbeat, and uncommon.”
“Easily distinguished by its lovable, friendly Frenchie mascot JD, and a steampunk interior décor, guests will be treated to a delicious globally inspired menu of 29 items that offers a mix of traditional pub food, new classic and healthy dishes in a modern, inviting setting. Amongst the delectable menu options will be the signature Tavern Pizza, a dish full of surprising flavourful combinations that will have your mouth watering for more. Carefully crafted new signature cocktails, worldly wines, or featured draft beers will also be available to enjoy in a comfortable atmosphere, driven by great service,” explained the company.

“When creating this menu, we wanted to set the tone for a unique experience with a menu and service that is surprising and bursting with crave-able twists,” said Executive Chef Brandon Thordarson, Director of Culinary and Beverage of The Tavern Collective. “The Tavern Collective is your neighbourhood hangout where you can embrace the unexpected and let the ordinary fade away. It’s a space that is a mix of classic and current, a theme that’s reflected in our food, tantalizing drinks, and signature cocktails.”
