MOOSE & SQUIRREL 

Medicine Hat’s Moose and Squirrel is Alberta’s premier destination for original street art, southern inspired BBQ, vegetarian & vegan offerings, ice cream, spirits & live music in a garden setting. Located in Downtown Medicine Hat and one block from Medicine Hat’s new Waterfront District, along the Saskatchewan River. The Moose and Squirrel showcases murals by local and international artists. Guests can enjoy the outdoor patio which features cooling misters to help cool down during Medicine Hat’s hot summers. We are a favorite local hangout for Hatter’s and ‘what to do’ for tourists. Located 5 minutes from Hwy 1, Moose and Squirrel Bistro is the perfect place for traveller’s to stop and stretch your legs.

Medicine Hat, affectionately referred to as “The Hat” by locals, is a thriving city of over 60,000 residents.  Our garden Bistro is located in the historic and beautiful downtown district full of old brick buildings and gas lamps lining the streets, decorated with hanging floral pots.
