Proof Cocktail Bar
From the founders of Vine Arts: award-winning cocktails, thoughtful hospitality, and a warm welcome in Calgary’s Victoria Park.
Founded by Vine Arts owners Jeff Jamieson and Jesse Willis in 2015, Proof Cocktail Bar brings our love of spirits and hospitality to life at 1302 1 Street SW in Calgary. Creative cocktails, familiar classics, and a back bar of more than 350 spirits make it a place to explore, whether you know exactly what you like or want to discover something new.
Proof has earned national and international recognition, ranking #78 on the 2026 North America’s 50 Best Bars extended list and #29 on Canada’s 100 Best Bars for 2026, alongside recognition on 50 Best Discovery. Behind the accolades is a simple idea: make excellent cocktails approachable, with knowledgeable bartenders, welcoming service, and no pretension.
