The atmosphere of Rain Dog Bar is largely inspired by the sentiment of the 1985 Tom Waits album that inspired its namesake: a place for lost dogs to gather, to share, to find their way. The space is full of eclectic found items reminiscent of those left behind by the nameless rain dogs. The space emits a sense of warmth and an odd familiarity to your grandparents living room, where you can gather and enjoy a plethora of beer options. The owner of Rain Dog Bar is Alberta’s first Cicerone, which is the beer world equivalent of a wine sommelier. His extensive beer list has something for everyone, locally sourced and far far beyond.
