The Nash Restaurant & Off Cut Bar, located in Calgary’s Inglewood neighbourhood, blends sophistication, character, history, and good food: a recipe for a one-of-a-kind wedding celebration. The restaurant – built in what was once the National Hotel -- opens its doors for brides and grooms, serving as a venue for those seeking a unique wedding reception space in an urban area.

Facilities and capacity

The Nash’s dining room features a clean, open space, plenty of windows and natural light, white walls, wood tables, and hardwood floors. Its modern look and layout has a view of an open kitchen, which allows you to see the chefs at work. The bar, with darker walls and dimmer lighting options, complements the dining room’s airy design. Up to 120 seated or 200 standing guests can be accommodated in the restaurant’s dining room, while the bar has a capacity of 75 people.


Cuisine

All items on the menu, from stocks to breads, are made in-house with high quality ingredients, and the staff partners with local growers and producers. The Nash’s dinner menu selection includes starters (like salads, soups, duck leg, and tartare of beef), entrees (from fish to pork belly to steak), and side dishes (with vegetables, risotto, and hand cut frites among the mix). Dessert options may consist of choices such as dark chocolate mousse, espresso pot de creme, smoked chocolate ganache with white tea sorbet, and more. Brunch, lunch, and cocktail menus are also offered.

History

The century-old building formerly housed the National Hotel, which had a history of being a local stop for temporary workers during the prohibition era. It is located on what was known as Whiskey Row.
