There are many things to applaud Cannibale for. Where does one begin?
Maybe the bravado to open a unique concept for a barbershop/drink lounge in Calgary?
Yes I'm sure Google will prove me wrong to tell me it's already being done somewhere else like San Fran, but
give me a break, they do EVERYTHING there.
Tucked away in corner, the front of Carnnibale is a small barbershop. I can't speak for the quality of cuts one can
get here considering this area is dominated by 1st Ave Barbershop (slickest fades I ever got in the city). But
their cocktails and desserts were SPOT ON.
DrANKS: My date loved her California Milk Punch: it was light and well balanced and something any pineapple lover shouldn't pass up.
I on the other hand, nursed a citrus-y but deeply flavoured Malachi crunch. A friend caught up with us and had their old fashioned (which
I didn't get to try but made a mental note to ask for it in the next visit).
Dessert: The Bulleit bourbon pecan pie was delicious and generous on the pecans, but easily outdone by Pretzel Bread Pudding.
Seriously, salty pretzel and Guinness stout ice cream? Just let your taste-bud's imaginations run wild on that one.
This place is busy, expect to stand and rub elbows with strangers, make conversation, ask for/ give out your number, or bring them
back to your place to show them your movie collection. Just don't get too drunk you lean over a candle and burn your hair.
