Calgary’s dining scene has expanded with the opening of Pineapple Hall, a dynamic new food hall concept by Concorde Entertainment Group.
Launched on November 6, in Stephen Avenue Place in downtown Calgary, Pineapple Hall brings together several of Concorde’s popular restaurant brands under one roof, creating a vibrant new destination for downtown patrons.
Pineapple Hall features a walk-up food hall where guests can sample a curated selection of menu items from some of Concorde’s most beloved venues, including Lonely Mouth, Double Zero Pizza, Surfy Surfy, and Clive Burger. A unique aspect of the food hall is its streamlined ordering process: all items are available from one of two pickup windows, allowing customers to enjoy offerings from multiple Concorde brands in a single order, according to a news release.
In addition, a grab-and-go fridge stocked with Concorde Catering’s Boardroom menu will provide convenient breakfast and lunch options for those on the move.
“Pineapple Hall is a celebration of some of our favourite Concorde Group brands, all collected in one space,” said Joe Dort, Concorde’s Director of Brand and Special Projects. “This is intended to be a place for people to gather, whether for brunch, a quick coffee, or dinner, where they can experience a mix of our concepts from around the city all at once.”
Officials said the new space is also home to Needs Must, a stylish cafe and patisserie serving Monogram Coffee and an array of freshly baked treats. Led by Jordan Hartl, Concorde’s Director of Pastry, the in-house team will create a rotating selection of daily pastries, alongside house-made juices and smoothies. Needs Must promises to be an inviting stop for both locals and visitors, with a focus on high-quality, artisanal ingredients.
In addition to the food hall and cafe, Pineapple Hall will host a second location of Concorde’s award-winning restaurant, Pigeonhole. Known for its brunch, innovative share plates, and inventive cocktails, Pigeonhole’s new downtown spot is tailored for Calgary’s corporate crowd, making it an ideal venue for breakfast meetings, happy hours, and dinner gatherings. The restaurant’s emphasis on vibrant flavors and hospitality will undoubtedly appeal to downtown diners looking for a memorable dining experience, said the news release.
With nearly 40 years in the business, Concorde has grown from a single entertainment venue into one of Western Canada’s most iconic hospitality groups, with an impressive portfolio of popular brands including Bridgette Bar, Lulu Bar, and Major Tom Bar.
