“We hosted an event with 34 guests at Slow Pour in June and we’re so happy with how it went! Sean, Emily and the Slow Pour Team were very accommodating and responsive during the planning as well as the evening of and the space was the perfect vibe. They had a good variety of drinks available and special mention to the perogies which were a favorite!“

“Came with my mom for my birthday, and the experience was absolutely incredible! The food was delicious, and the beef dip and crudo were some of the most amazing dishes I’ve ever tried.
What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was our server, Piper. He was incredible from start to finish. He knew everything about every dish we ordered, was extremely knowledgeable about our gluten allergies, and made sure we felt completely taken care of.
Beyond the amazing service, you could genuinely see Piper’s passion for hospitality. He went above and beyond and made my birthday celebration feel extra special.
Thank you, Piper, and thank you to the chef and the entire team. You were all truly outstanding, and we will absolutely be back!

“First time to Bar Henry. Great DT location, great cocktails& wine (I recommend the Galleria if you are going for the cocktails) 🍸 You can't go wrong with any of the snacks ! Accomplished servers whO complement the chill atmosphere and vibe. Smaller venue, suggest making a reservation. Perfect for post work days.“

“Great place for live music. If you like music with more rock, metal and punk flair with touches of grunge and glam, The Dive Bar is your place !!“

“Have been to this location twice now while on holiday from Saskatoon. Leopolds Broadway in Saskatoon is my spot of choice and while in Edmonton Strathcona is a home away from home. My bartender was fantastic , she was very attentive and even open to banter about the ridiculous virtual golf league on the tv. 10/10 recommend as a sober person !“

“I had such a great experience Thursday noon! I really appreciated how attentive & thoughtful the bartender was. Even while busy behind the bar, he made a point of checking in on me and always with the brightest smile. It’s those little gestures that make a big difference and make you feel genuinely welcomed. His positive energy and excellent customer service truly stood out. Thank you for making my experience so enjoyable!“

“I booked a reservation for our anniversary thru open table, but somehow it reserved a table - at the Prince George restaurant…after speaking to the manager, Stefan, he sat us in the lounge at a nice table by the fireplace, gave us a couple of drinks on the house, and had a great steak dinner, then got a delicious dessert( on the house)… I just want to thank Stefan, our server and the rest of the staff for making our night out a success… Taras Pyzyk“

“Access to facilities are easy and very reasonable. The activities provided for you and your family are awesome.“

“We had an outstanding experience at this restaurant. The food and service were excellent, but what really stood out was the General Manager. They were highly visible on the floor, genuinely engaged with guests, and constantly checking to make sure everything was running smoothly.

You can clearly see the leadership and care they bring to the entire team. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction made a great experience even better.

A fantastic restaurant with exceptional leadership. Highly recommended!“

“Awsome time with great friends and new people“

“First time at Atlas, we were here for our anniversary dinner. Cristian our server was phenomenal. Awesome service and atmosphere all around.

We both had the prime rib dinner. Prime rib was like butter, just melted in your mouth. This has become our new favourite place to go for date night in the future.“

“We tried a new restaurant last night and it was fantastic! I love Ethiopian food, and wanted to try a place I hadn’t been to before. First thing to note is that the word “Bete” is not the french word “bête,” meaning “beast” (as in animal). It is an Amharic word meaning house, similar to “Beth” in Hebrew and “bayt” in Arabic, as I was told. All this just to clarify that the restaurant’s name is more closely translated as “Africa House,” not “African Beast,” which I ignorantly thought prior to learning this from the owners. We told the host that it was our first time there and that we were willing and eager to learn from him and try new things. He was very helpful and guided us though the menu. Before making a decision, we noticed that some other guests were eating fresh banana with their injera (the ubiquitous crêpe-like sourdough bread served with virtually all dishes), which piqued our interest, Lindsay in particular. When we asked which dishes came with banana, he laughed and told us that they don’t serve bananas, and it’s a common way of eating injera for Somalians, and that those guys arrived with their own banana. Apparently this is a BYOB restaurant. So, with no bananas to be had for us, we decided that the $99 mixed plate was the way to go. As you can see, there is a wide variety of food in this dish. In the middle, ground beef topped with their homemade cheese (similar in texture to feta, not as strong in taste, yet oh so fresh). At first, I was convinced there was mint in this, then I realized it was rosemary. It made it very refreshing. Bottom left is a perfectly spicy lamb tibs in the most delicious red sauce. Next to that is a mild lamb tibs that was juicy and yummy, with a couple jalapeño accents just for fun. To the right was a fried beef strip dish with onions called cha-cha tibs. Up top, a variety of lentil and chickpea mashes, plus pickled beets and cabbage. We ate like the locals, with our hands, using small torn off pieces of injera as temporary, edible utensils, and were endlessly satisfied as we worked our way around the platter. The only problem was, we just couldn’t finish it, so we ended up with a takeaway box of a couple pounds of leftovers (aw, shucks). We had a wonderful conversation with the husband and wife team, who shared so much about their culture, including the beautiful artwork and artifacts throughout the space. We even got to meet their baby, who, I am proud to say, reached out for me to hold her. She was adorable! We also learned that the wife occasionally offers cooking courses. Would you be surprised to learn that my name is on the waiting list? One can’t help but salivate I’m thinking about such a culinary experience. I wish I had discovered it sooner, despite having driven past it countless times (it’s on 111 Avenue across from Tony’s pizza). To be honest, it’s not the classiest part of town (I reported a needle to 311 on our way out), so if you’re leery of that sort of thing, now is the time to get over it and see what rewards await you when you step outside your social and gastronomical comfort zones. Just be sure to invite me along when you do.“

“I Am Very Impressed With The Amazing Bowling Deals On A Cheap Day On A Non-Game Day. Very Respectfully Got To Say The Service is Absolutely Amazing! Also Looking Forward To Eating There Next Time I Come. Also Look Forward To Bowling Again Too!“

“Owner and staff are amazing. Best nachos on Whyte Ave…we’ll b back.“

“great pub awesome patio, best wings“

“Just a great place to eat and hang out“

“My husband and I were looking to have a nice dinner together whilst trying to kill time waiting on family. We had finished our meal and were just having coffee (a standard with us post dinner) and we were approached by the manager asking us if we could accommodate a table that was reserved up top where we were, and he would relocate us to another spot. We had absolutely no issues with that, especially since we were killing time. They moved everything for us and luckily the same waitress even came by in not even her section, just to check on us; which as a past serve I know can be hard but it was acknowledged and appreciated. And on top it all they discounted our bill, which was absolutely unnecessary but GREATLY appreciated. 10/10 will be back to this location, just due to the service alone. Highly recommended. Thank you Keg West Edmonton“

“I have went to black dog often over the past 10 years and just recently went back. It's the same as ever with a very comfortable easy going setting. Comedy nights on Thursday, patio upstairs and darts on the main floor. Great place to stop for a pint for all ages.“

“Fun friendly environment. Lots to do, live music and karaoke, crib tournament. I attended the crib tournament and it was very well run. The food specials were affordable and the food was delicious.“

“I had the chance to attend a karaoke fundraiser last night at The Duck Taphouse & Grill and, it’s one of those places you just want to see win.I got to chat with the owner, Alex, and you can tell right away he’s all about community. From supporting organizations like Hope Mission to opening his space for fundraising events, he’s creating more than just a pub, he’s building a place people can come together. Tucked right behind NAIT, this spot has a relaxed, welcoming vibe with a small stage that’s perfect for karaoke nights, fundraisers, or even networking events. And let’s talk about the experience: The drinks are reasonably priced, the food is genuinely good, and the atmosphere makes it easy to stay longer than planned.If you’re looking for a venue for a third-party fundraiser, a casual networking night, or just a great local place to support, this is it. Let’s keep showing up for the businesses that show up for our community.“

“I've only ever been here to check out the open jams, but I really enjoyed the shows. It's definitely an older crowd. I was probably the youngest in attendance by 30 years. Also, the whole cash only thing is a bit annoying, but overall it's a laid back spot with good vibes.“

“We sat at the bar the first day and we had such a good time that we came back a second night! Hudson, Eric, Riley were amazing bartenders!! Their food and drink recommendations were personalized and well done! Great drinks overall but the shots were awesome - very unique flavors. They took really good care of us and it’s been my favorite bar experience so far! Food, drinks, & vibes are unmatched :)“

“What makes Zembaba 2 truly special is the way it brings people together. Families gather around generous platters, friends reconnect over fragrant coffee, and newcomers are welcomed like long-lost relatives. The staff serve with genuine warmth—hospitality that doesn’t feel rehearsed but heartfelt, as though each guest is an honored visitor. Their kindness pairs beautifully with the food: tender meats marinated with care, vegetables cooked to perfection, and spices blended in the way only experience and love can create.

The dishes at Zembaba 2 celebrate the deep heritage of Somali and Ethiopian cuisines—flavors shaped by tradition, carried across generations, and shared with pride. Whether it’s the comforting taste of injera, the bold richness of suqaar, or the soothing warmth of a perfectly brewed cup of Somali or Ethiopian tea, every bite carries the unmistakable feeling of home, even for those discovering these cuisines for the first time.

Eating here feels less like dining out and more like being welcomed into someone’s family. Zembaba 2 is a place where memories are made, stories are shared, and cultures are celebrated with every meal. It’s a restaurant with a heart—one that invites you to sit down, slow down, and savor not only the food but the sense of belonging that comes with it.“

“Excellent service, skilled bartender. Will be back.“

“Amazing expierence at the downtown location. Our server was so kind he was a filipino gentleman. The food was amazing including the dessert. We got the prime rib dinner for two. The prime rib was the best we ever had by far. Also the dessert was lactose free which was nice because my boyfriend has a milk allergy and we can never find a place that can accomidate him when it comes to dessert. We loved it and will be coming back. The staff was all very friendly including the manager.“

“Love the French Onion soup“

“I had the game hen with mushrooms, not on the online menu, soo good, we had a party of 14 our server was ok, for some reason they changed the TV to American College football while I was watching the elks, requested a return, was told OK and never happened. Also was told out of the house beer, but available in the saloon. Kinda looked like she was trying to run up our bill.Everyone loved the food, love that we were able to skip the line with no cover for the saloon. Which was also great fun.“

“Whoever the female light brown bartender that was working this evening (night of July 2nd) was a rockstar (not the manager). It was busier than I’ve ever seen on a Thursday and the girl was handling drinks and so many things solo like a champ while still maintaining a great level of friendless and speed. Colour me impressed.“
