The Cypress Club was established in 1903 by Medicine Hat’s ranching and business communities. Patterned on the private clubs of Victorian Britain, the Club’s goal was to provide a centre for fellowship and socializing.
In the early years of the century, the West was quickly filling with commerce and manufacturing to serve the rapidly agricultural base. Although Medicine Hat was at that time still within what was known as the North West Territories inside Canada, it already becoming an important trade and service centre.
Within four years of its founding the Club moved into its current home, a gracious two story building of characteristic brick and sandstone design. The interior retains it’s turn-of-the-century decor and features a beautiful stained glass window illuminating the stairway. Various pieces of art and historical significance create a comfortable western ambiance.
Located in historic downtown Medicine Hat and on the Alberta Register of Historic Places, the Cypress Club has been a gathering place to almost all the regions civic leaders and prominent business people, making it a bastion for business and social leaders in the community.
Our current members are employers, influencers, neighbours, and friends. Anyone that has interested in being part of history and maintaining this unique historical asset can join the Cypress Club as a member. The public is welcome to visit our historical establishment and book our facility for private functions. Together, we are very proud to honour the past and help shape the future of Medicine Hat.
What a great way to enjoy a meeting. Fabulous meal in a great atmosphere. A nice change from the cookie cutter restaurants.

Chef Mike prepared an absolutely fabulous turkey dinner with all the fixings for our Thanksgiving this year. My wife and I were blown away with the quality of the meal and the generous portions. We will definitely make use of The Cypress Club again for our next holiday meal.
We thoroughly enjoyed the Thanksgiving turkey dinner. The atmosphere was relaxed and the service was just right-not rushed and very professional. It was excellent value for what was included. The soup was wonderful, as usual. Chef Mike has a real talent for making delicious homemade soups.
That our wedding was a huge success, everyone had a spectacular time. Your venue and staff are amazing. You all did an excellent job. The space was beautiful, the food and drink absolutely perfectly tasty and the service outstanding. Thank you for your attention to detail and hard work.
It was great finding the Cypress Club, what a treasure with its historic decor, so much history within those walls which should be shared. My husband Dave, friend Caroline and myself would like to express our thanks to the Bar Manager and Chef for their amazing customer service, their kindness and delicious food which we all enjoyed very much.
