& The Best View in Town

Perched high in the sky above Lethbridge, the Water Tower offers a one-of-a-kind, panoramic view of our city – and front-row seats to southern Alberta’s brilliant prairie sunsets. Along with the view, we serve internationally inspired, casual cuisine in a fun, stylish atmosphere. From hand-crafted drinks at Cocktail Hour, to a romantic evening out, or even for a relaxed lunch with the family, the Water Tower is your home for food, drinks, and a view impossible to get anywhere else in the city.

Join us today to experience dining on a whole new level!

Happy Cocktail Hour

From the very beginning, the Water Tower has been there to quench the thirst of Lethbridge residents. Today, we’re celebrating over half a century of serving this community drinks (and food) with Cocktail Hour, daily from 3 p.m. – 6 p.m. Not only do you get to survey your city from 100 feet up, but you get to experience our modern, stylish lounge in the sky. We think that’s something to celebrate everyday!

Join us at the Water Tower for Happy Hour Cocktails in the sky!

ABOUT US

Lethbridge’s local watering hole, since 1959

The Water Tower has been an integral part of Lethbridge’s skyline since its completion in 1959. Back then, it stored and supplied Lethbridge with clean drinking water. But, like many small towns, Lethbridge updated their water supply shortly before the turn of the Millenium, leaving the water tower an obsolete monument from a different time. But in March 2003, a local businessman and architect took over the building, saving it from destruction and creating a restaurant with an amazing view for the whole community to enjoy.

Whether you choose to glam up with your girlfriends for a wild night out, or you need some decompression time after work with a stiff cocktail, or you want to spoil your favourite special someone with a night on the town (yet not break the bank ;)), the Water Tower is here to serve you and your favourite people delicious food and drink you won’t find anywhere else in Lethbridge South.
