ARIAS & ALES: KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Q: What’s with the two seatings?
A: The venue has limited capacity, so two seatings each night mean more opportunities for YOU to experience Arias & Ales: one at 4:30 pm and another at 7:30 pm.
Like any two-show day, each seating has a separate cover charge, and the space will be cleared and cleaned between events. If you’re planning to come early and stay for both (which we’d LOVE!) you’ll want to purchase tickets for both seatings and show your love to our partners at Best of Kin by clearing up your tab and visiting the patio while we prepare the space for the next seating.
Q: Do I have to eat dinner at 4:30? Will there be food at 7:30?
A: Our incredible partners at Best of Kin are offering food and beverage menu at both seatings.
Q: What if I want to stay for both seatings?
If you’re planning to stay for both shows (which we’d LOVE!) you will need to purchase tickets for both shows. We recommend doing this ahead of time, as these events have sold out in previous seasons.
The space will be cleared and cleaned between events, so show your love to our partners at Best of Kin by settling your tab and visiting the patio while we prepare the space for the next seating.
Q: Can I come earlier if I want to get a good seat for my group?
A: There is no admission before the doors open, but we encourage you to arrive promptly, as seating arrangements are at the discretion of the venue.
Q: What’s the parking situation?
A: Best of Kin Social is at the intersection of 14 street and 11 Ave SW, and free street parking is available on Sundays near the venue. Please read signage carefully or visit the City of Calgary On-street Parking Map for details.
By Transit: the Sunalta LRT Station is 2 blocks away, and there are bus stops nearby for #6, #22 and #414 (Southbound), the #90 (Westbound), and the #7 (Eastbound)
By Bike: Bike parking is available outside the venue.
Q: What do I wear?
A: Wear whatever you would wear to the pub! Jeans? Great. Hoodie? Totally fine. Cute little outfit to impress your date? We love it. The point is to be comfortable and have a fun time.
