TheDen & Black Lounge is owned and operated by the
University of Calgary Students’ Union.
TheDen & Black Lounge has been a student tradition for over 45 years – a regular hotspot for students with two floors of food, beverages, dance and fun, and is located just at the east end of the Food Court. Whether your preference is indoor dining, relaxing on the Black Lounge patio or private partying in the Red Room, this is your place to make it happen.
The Tradition
The Tradition began when we, formerly known as Dinny’s Den, opened our doors to students back in 1969 and made our home as the campus restaurant and bar, and a special place for student social gatherings. This was just the start! At The Den & Black Lounge, we have dedicated ourselves to student experience by throwing the best on campus events including Thursden and Bermuda Shorts Day (BSD), and looking out for student’s best interests. In continuing this tradition, we have completely renovated The Den to provide a premiere experience and launched a refined food and beverage menu.
Best Bar None Accredited
Best Bar None is a voluntary program for nightlife venues, designed to keep staff and patrons safe while recognizing excellence in the industry. The Den and Black Lounge takes pride in being Best Bar None accredited.

The health and safety of the our SU members and employees, and guests is our highest concern. Avoiding large gatherings is the best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and the best way to protect each other and our extended community.
We look forward to welcoming you back to The Den at a later date. Please watch our social media channels and our website for updates.
