Opened in Fall 08 as the flagship restaurant for the Vintage Group, Rush has set the bar for restaurants in Canada.  From the initial concept of bringing "Cool Elegant" to Calgary the objective was to design a room that would rival the best of Las Vegas or New York and become Calgary’s premiere dining destination.  We combined curved glass walls that touch the ceiling, lush two story drapes, rich beautiful fabrics, massive pendant lights, stained walnut millwork, patterned carpet and tile flooring to bring this space to life.  The casually elegant lounge features a row of custom designed black leather club chairs, a 20 foot communal table and an island bar that rises through the ceiling.  The décor had to exude warmth, style, luxury, and a tasteful elegance with a focus on perfection from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.
