   Don’t generally post reviews but after finding out this GEM of a bar is locally owned and run I had to!! I had such an amazing time at the potion room trying cocktails and being mesmerized by the decor! This is a must try in YYC!!

   This cocktail lounge is unlike any other, if you want a magical place to celebrate a birthday or important milestone I would suggest the potion room. I came here with some friends to celebrate my new job and could not be happier with how much fun we had! All of our drinks were recommended by the witches and each one was delicious. Will be back for sure to experience more magic

   Come in a couple times and always have left happy (and full) Lol They have huge variety of fancy drinks, and are very willing to recommend if you’re unsure of what to get. Food is so good too! Some of the best tandoori chicken I’ve had in the city.

   Most skillful bartender I’ve seen! He makes so many drinks and makes it look so easy, very fun place but can get very busy quickly! I’m happy we booked a reservation through open table

   I was disappointed from the start. We had to wait a bit for a table which they had to move people and squish us in. I understand the drinks are part of the experience but they took way to long to get to us. Service was not as fast as it could have been and they wouldn’t clean our tables till we told them to take the drinks and such away. Seeing as it was for a birthday it was highly disappointing and honestly don’t think I’ll be back. Also a huge fire hazard honestly. Way to many customers for a small space like that

   HOLY S**T this is such an INCREDIBLE bar! The cocktails are simply exquisite, the food is unpretentious whilst being knock-your-nanna-over-to-get-the-last-bite good and the staff are so knowledgeable and just know their stuff. I could honestly drink here EVERY, DAMN, DAY. And I’ll be honest. All the positive reviews aren’t kidding. I enjoyed every last second and have been raving to my coworkers. I think anyone who says anything negative just isn’t very happy in life lol. Forget the complainers and go have a good time! 💙

    I wish I visited Calgary more just for the potion room! This was my first time coming to the city since the horrendous covid situation and I’m absolutely stunned with how magical a little bar can be! The dementers kiss stole my soul and my heart LOL I can’t wait to come back to the city and bring my muggle friends here for dinner and drinks!

    First of all, I don’t know what I was expecting when booking a table at the potion room but I wasn’t expecting my mind to be BLOWN. The drinks (potions)?! Out of this world! The food? Freaking delightful The service? Impeccable Not to mention this is locally/family owned! This place is really just a must visit for anyone and everyone. They have soo many mocktails for the designated driver or sober friend, a huge selection of any type of alcoholic drink you’d like, and so willing to work around dietary or allergy requests for food. 10 stars across the board for this brilliant bar.

    An absolute darling bar.. the theme is so well thought out, you can tell how much time and care went into making such an amazing place for people to enjoy magical potions. Went with a friend for some appys and cocktails and were met with the kindest witches, great recommendations, and delicious food. Can’t wait to come back for more

    We cannot rate the staff and venue highly enough! We each shared a bunch of cocktails, which made it such an engaging, fun experience! Celin had a wealth of knowledge and went above and beyond to make our time there a truly memorable experience (you are amazing, thank you!). We then stayed afterwards to enjoy the delicious plates of food and some classic cocktails. We cannot wait to go back!

    This was the second time we had been to the Potion Room. The first was fun and had a fantastic experience. This time however was awful. We had a reservation but they had no table available for us upon our arrival. The server treated us with almost a “what do you want” type attitude and then once they took our initial order was not heard from again. The music they were blaring did not fit the vibe at all and completely threw off the experience. Think Mid-late 00s club vibes while Harry Potter was on the TVs on the wall. The glasses we were given for waters were not clean and had an ammonia scent to them. The server also put them face down on the table (which was of questionable cleanliness). The actual cocktails were decent but the ambiance and experience took away from the fun associated with the drinks. Finally to top the night off we had to get up to go to the bar to ask for our bills as it had been over 45 min since anyone had come to our table. I chalk it up to a bad night where perhaps their having some staffing issues, but if this continues to be the vibe, I don’t anticipate any future visits.

    One of the few bars I’ve went to that actually went above and beyond to describe and recommend their non alcoholic options. I came with friends and as a sober person I was expecting the usual pop or juice option or a mocktail with no real thought put into it. I got to live my dream of having a butterbeer (which by the way is delightful) along with my friends who tried the alcoholic version. Will be back for sure

Going here was definitely a highlight of our night on my girls birthday. Very happy to say we made lovely memories with the witches and will definitely be back to make more

Everything I tried was recommended by the witch serving me and I am so thrilled with everything, I completely recommend not only trying out the potion room, but also asking for recommendations and trusting the experts on the potions and dishes- you won’t be disappointed

    Don’t often post reviews, but I was so blown away with the service and potions that I had to write a little blip on how much I loved my evening at the potion room. I came for my anniversary and the magic I felt was unlike any other place I’ve ever been to. This place is by far the most amazing place for a date night!

    The Potion Room was an experience and a half in all the best ways! Me and my wife go to many cocktail bars and have never been so blown away, the food we were served was delicious! Probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever had!! We tried a few drinks each and loved each one more than the last! My favourite was the wand chooses, it was absolutely brilliant! Definitely recommend this gorgeous bar for a night out

Decor was literally out of this world, I almost had to pinch myself to believe it wasn’t a dream!! The potions were all unique and they had a lovely selection for every taste preference! I tried the Phoenix tears and was blown away at the presentation, the drink itself was expertly blended and tasted delicious! I didn’t try the food but heard other tables raving about the black truffle fries, I’ll definitely be back for more!!

    Came here with my niece for a cocktail, and left with memories that will last a lifetime! This gorgeous lounge was decorated in the most magical way I’ve ever seen! Sparkling ceiling, floating candles, books and letters that look like they’re dancing in the air throughout the room, after stepping in the front doors I knew whatever we were getting into would be amazing! I tried the forbidden Black Forest drink and LOVED it! The way they brought it to my table was so delightful and fun, not to mention the taste was exactly what you’d want from a dessert cocktail! The potion room is definitely a place I’ll be bringing all my friends to in the future to show off! Absolutely thrilled with the service and everything we got to enjoy and experience!
