Found my way to Beat Niq's via an UYE organized by the one they call the Angelo. Great live Jazz, though you may have to come a bit early to get good seats. Deadly martini's, eclectic crowd and Jazz tunes that make your soul climb out of you and shuffle to the groove. Not that I lifted myself into hyperbole or anything. Huge fan and I love this place!
Cover $15. Martini $10. One of the best atmospheres in Calgary ... priceless. -

A very cozy environment, reasonable prices and excellent live music performance.
A must for all Jazz lovers.
Go an hour early to get good seating for live performances, and check out their Events calendar regularly. -

I went here for my birthday one year; dressed in a red satin cocktail dress and metal heeled stilettos (that one of my dude friends told me made me sound like a clippety cloppety billy goat when I walked, hahahaha) and felt like a sophisticated grown-up lady. Who knew?
Live jazz, with an amazing drummer who kept the beat even though at one point he was drumming so fast that one of his sticks flew out of his hand! Listening to amazing music, while sitting on a bar stool at the table, sipping red wine, nibbling on fresh fruit, bread and pear jam will make you feel so. money.
The menu doesn't have very many vegan options, but you'll find that Beat Niq is pretty accommodating. I've been here several times since that Fancy Birthday and it's been an awesome time every time.
Food service starts at 9 PM, and it's free corkage on Tuesday nights. Maybe one of these days, I'll be hip enough to have a membership. But then again, you know what Groucho Marx says about becoming a member of any place that would ~have~ you as a member... ;)Listed in: Delightful WPF, 30 Days Hath Movember, Calgary 1Ups

I've loosely heard of Beat Niq Jazz Club from other people and never took much interest in going. What a fool I was-I still am, but much less of a fool these days-for not taking an earlier interest and checking this place out!
We stumbled into Beat Niq's Jazz basement on a cold night seeking adventure and people. There was a live performance and a gentleman visiting from down south brought Jazz I was somewhat familiar with but was introduced to. Heck, I'm not much of Jazz buff and only heard whatever Gabe A recommended me to listen to, but @ Beat Niq, you don't have to like Jazz to enjoy the atmosphere created by the place, pure cool.
While I never had the chance to check out their menus, a couple of cool ladies mentioned they had a GREAT french menu and drinks to boot. Oddly enough in our cordial exchange, I found out that they in turn, never checked out the Jazz performances. I can't think of too many places that offered two different but relatable experiences: Jazz and French food? Quite appropriate
Looking at their menu right now, I am most definitely going back for the risotto!

Go for the jazz, stay for the Gerussi Martini's. Srsly - you have to try these things, they're to die for.
