There’s a reason we chose the name Heliopolis 🏛️
Heliopolis is the Greek name for an ancient Egyptian city — the City of the Sun. It was the philosophy and art hub of the ancient world — where the greatest minds gathered to think, debate and create. Where Bennu, the original Phoenix, soared above the city and ignited the first flame of life.
Every five hundred years, the Phoenix returns — consumed, then reborn more powerful and vibrant.
That’s the spirit we brought to Calgary.
We didn’t open another cocktail bar. We built a space rooted in culture, community, and genuine connection — with live music sets every week, meaningful events, and hospitality that treats every guest like the room was made for them.
The name means something. Everything here does.
🎷 Live music — Wed to Sat 🎉 Private events up to 80 guests 📍 817 1st St SW, Downtown Calgary 📩 [email protected] 🔗 Reserve your table → link in bio

📅 Friday, 19 June · Doors 8 PM · Performance 8:30 PM
📍 Heliopolis YYC — Downtown Calgary
🔗 Reserve your table → link in bio · Tables go fast on Jazz Fridays.
P.S. This space is also available for private events — imagine your corporate dinner or birthday celebration with a live performance as the backdrop. 📩 [email protected]
Some spaces just serve you a drink. 🥃
We built something different.
Heliopolis exists because Calgary deserved a place where the music is live and local, the hospitality is genuinely personal, and the room feels like somewhere worth being. Not a venue that processes guests — a space that actually brings people together.
This is the vision we built Heliopolis around. And every night it’s open, it gets better — because of the people who walk through the door.
And we’re here every night of the week —
🤝 Wednesdays: networking evenings
🎸 Thursdays: Rock Thursdays
🎷 Fridays: Jazz Fridays
🎉 Saturdays: We rave, jam and dance
🍸 Sundays: cocktails and good conversations

🎸 Thursdays — Rock Thursdays
🎷 Fridays — Live Jazz
🎉 Saturdays — We rave, we jam and we dance
🍸 Sundays — The weekend wind-down
