Murrieta's Bar & Grill is hailed as one of Calgary's most celebrated and sumptuous places to dine.
Situated within the spectacularly renovated walls of the Alberta Hotel building (c.1890) we offer a feast not only for the senses... but for the soul as well, with something unique to offer every distinctive palate.
The cuisine at Murrieta's can be described as West Coast with a large selection of seafood, steak, game, and pasta.
The extensive wine list compliments this theme with a strong focus on Pacific Rim wines, although great wines from the Old World and other regions can be found.
On Friday and Saturday nights we showcase live bands from 10:00pm to 1:00am. Musical styles range from R&B and Funk to Classic Rock and Jazz.more...See more text

Fantastic New Year's dinner with the family, complete with a live funk band and party favors. The 3 course NYE dinner was exceptional. Loved the thai coconut curry scallops with crispy potatoes and the warm brownie with chocolate mousse - I would be happy to see them become part of the regular menu. Good wine. Tasty cocktails. Our server was wonderful the entire evening and went the extra mile at every opportunity to make sure each of us had the best experience possible, from food, to drinks, to NYE fun. Thanks for a great night!

The service was terrific all around. Jeremy was funny, dow to earth and a great server. Food was terrific, just small portions for the price. Wish there was a salad included and some sort of potato item on the tenderloin plate.

Out with my lady-friends for our annual Christmas dinner Saturday night at Muriettas. At first was disappointed that they weren’t offering steak frites as entre but we all found other options and no-one was disappointed. Food and service was great and transitioned right into a night of dancing the night away. Had a wonderful time. But they should invest in actual martini glasses. Those champagne glasses just don’t cut it for a martini even if they are apparently also considered a martini glass. Not on Google by the way-in no decade:

We held our corporate Christmas party at Murrieta’s - the food and service were incredible, the venue is beautiful. Our only complaint is the live music was a little too loud we had to stop our conversations - otherwise we all had a wonderful evening - would absolutely book another event here!

Excellent business lunch for 6 people had a wonderful experience, awesome food - great service!
Murietta’s has long been a downtown destination for food and wine, and the Stephen Avenue contemporary bar and grill mainstay offers a solid happy hour aimed at the after-work crowd. From 3 pm to 6 pm, this restaurant in the Alberta Hotel building offers a happy hour menu that features appies, draught beer, wine and spirits.
Downtown dwellers don’t have to travel far for a slice of exceptional cheesecake. Murrieta’s Bar and Grill, a short stroll from the Calgary Tower on Stephen Avenue Walk, offers a daily cheesecake selection for those with a penchant for sweet, smooth, decadent desserts. Enjoy a meal, glass of wine and some great live music, and top it off with a slice of downtown dessert heaven.
This downtown stand-by (known for its killer wine list) sits in a gorgeous historical building and gives diners a great view of bustling foot traffic on Stephen Avenue Walk. If you’re in the mood for mussels, try the lip-smacking cioppino, a tomato-based fish stew packed with mussels, scallops, whatever fish is in season, prawns and some angel hair pasta.
