South Block Barbecue & Brewing Co.

South Block Barbecue & Brewing Co. in Calgary is a North Carolina-inspired BBQ hall and brewery where travellers can pair slow-smoked meats with house-brewed beer. Upstairs, guests can settle into a large dining room, a 20-seat bar, and a year-round indoor/outdoor beer garden pouring their full draft lineup, from classic Pilsner, Lager, and IPAs to seasonal Peach Bourbon Ale and Mango Wheat Ale. Behind the bar, a hand-crafted cocktail program and a whiskey list of over 200 varieties, including American, Canadian, Irish, Scottish, and Japanese options, invite visitors to linger. Downstairs, the live music hall and stage sit beside the working brewery, adding energy to the experience. The kitchen team arrives early each morning to slow-smoke brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and more for up to 14 hours, bringing the flavours of North Carolina barbecue to Alberta’s wild urban side.
