Founded in 2015 by Connie DeSousa and John Jackson, charbar sits inside the historic Simmons Building along the Bow River in Calgary's East Village. Following a major kitchen renovation in 2026, we are proud to be Calgary's first Wood Fire Steakhouse — dry-aged grass-fed beef, fire-roasted chicken, fresh ceviche, and fugazza-style pizzas, all driven by Argentinian asado tradition. Join us on the expansive riverfront patio or upstairs at Connie and John's Pizza rooftop bar overlooking St. Patrick's Island.
