CRAFT Beer Market is expanding in the city where it all began with the opening of its newest location in southeast Calgary. Located in the Shepard Flats shopping centre at 5155 130 Avenue SE, Unit 100, the new restaurant will officially open to the public on August 27, 2026. The new location will bring CRAFT’s signature combination of great food, craft beer and genuine hospitality to southeast Calgary. Guests can expect an extensive selection of local and international craft beer, cocktails and wine alongside CRAFT’s diverse, chef-inspired menu. The restaurant will also feature rooftop and outdoor patios, including a rooftop patio designed to offer guests year-round seating, 365 days a year.
“We are incredibly excited to open our newest CRAFT location and become part of the southeast Calgary community,” says PJ L’Heureux, founder of CRAFT Beer Market. “Calgary is where CRAFT began, and we are grateful for the opportunity to continue growing in the city we call home. We can’t wait to welcome guests through our doors and celebrate this next chapter with the community.”
Reservations for CRAFT Beer Market Shepard Flats are officially open. To celebrate the opening, the first 250 reservations booked for August 27 or later will receive one $20 CRAFT On Us Card during their visit. Reservations can be made through OpenTable.
Founded in Calgary in 2011, CRAFT Beer Market was inspired by Portland’s vibrant craft beer culture and built around a mission to make craft beer more accessible. Since opening its original Beltline restaurant, CRAFT has grown into a national hospitality brand with locations across Canada. The opening of Shepard Flats marks the third location in Calgary.
CRAFT Shepard Flats will be open for lunch, dinner and late night, with brunch available on weekends and holiday Mondays. Hours of operation are Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. For more information, please visit www.craftbeermarket.com.
