Jinbar is a cozy neighborhood spot serving up must-try comfort dishes like fried chicken and pizzas, all washed down with superb cocktails.
"Top Chef Canada finalist Jinhee Lee has always been celebrated as one of Calgary’s most talented chefs, so the buzz was strong when she opened her very own eatery in 2020. Jinbar centers around Korean pizza, Korean fried chicken, and cocktails, all offered in a cool, eclectic dining room. The Fried Buldak is a fiery cheese pizza with layers of mozzarella, Korean barbecue spices, pickled jalapenos, and green onions. A popular pizza topping in South Korea, corn stars in the Sweet Corns & Honey Butter Chip pie alongside jalapenos, Parmesan, mozzarella, and parsley on a base of alfredo sauce, all surrounded by a crust garnished with house potato chips lightly tossed in honey sauce.

"One of the standout Calgary restaurants to open last year is Jin Bar, a Japanese-style fried chicken and pizza joint by chef Jinhee Lee, a graduate of the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) and winner of the Canadian Gold Medal Plates culinary competition."
At JINBAR, everything revolves around showcasing their high quality, Korea-inspired food.
