“Bow & Bend offers a unique blend of natural and urban charm from one rooftop patio destination,” he said in a news release.

The new restaurant and bar is part of the transformation of a previously underutilized office tower – The Canadian Centre - now reimagined as part of the City of Calgary’s Downtown Development Incentive Program.

Officials say the venue will have a sleek design evoking the feelings of luxury and comfort.

“The open-air dining room or patio is the ideal place for sharing a meal with friends or family, or dropping in for after-work cocktails and snacks,” said a news release.

When the restaurant opens, it will seat 210 people between its dining room, patio and two private rooms.

The restaurant will be open from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and until 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Brunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
