Barley Mill

Calgary


Built in a 1900s style, with the original distillery's lumber used for the top floor and an actual waterwheel churning outside, the Barley Mill draws crowds for its pub grub, long lineup of draft beers and a well-stocked bar. Two patios for when it's warm and a big stone fireplace for when it's not keep it busy in every season.
