Going underground in downtown Calgary since forever. Dickens is an 18+ pub and live music venue tucked into the base of Gibraltar Place on 9th Ave SW, hosting a packed calendar of live bands, drag shows, dance parties, trivia nights, board games, and more. The basement room has real character — a proper stage, pool tables, craft beer on tap, and a full food menu. Whether you're catching a punk show, a DJ night, or Mixtape Music Trivia, there's always something worth showing up for. 18+ only.
