Just a short walk from many of Calgary’s top concert venues, Fleetwood offers an inventive menu of globally inspired small plates and a serious cocktail program that draws rave reviews.

Why Concert-goers love it

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that dishes can be on the smaller side — not surprising for a tapas place, but worth knowing if you're extra hungry. Peak times can get busy, so reservations are a smart move, especially on show nights.
