Inspired by Mediterranean hospitality, Heliopolis is a cozy cocktail bar in Calgary for exquisite drinks, live music, and an easy night out.
Whether it’s a chill evening after work or a full Friday night, the focus is on comfort, atmosphere, and good hospitality.
Formerly Heliopolis Social Cafe
The Shift
We began as a social café, but we realized our guests loved the space most when the sun went down, the music started, and the cocktails were flowing. Today, we are proud to be a home for local artists, jazz musicians, and people who just want a better night out.
A Place to Unwind
Enjoy a proper drink, hear the music, and actually have a conversation. Whether you’re here for a quiet drink after work or a busy Saturday night, we focus on great hospitality and a vibe that’s easy to enjoy.
Exquisite Drinks. Unmatched Hospitality.
Our menu features Egyptian and Mediterranean-inspired hors d’ouvre, signature cocktails, and a wine list chosen to suit the room.
Whether for a public evening or a private booking, food and drink at Heliopolis are meant to complement the experience, not compete with it.

Our public calendar is intentionally selective. We host curated experiences designed to complement the room, not overpower it.
