Going through the basement of Yianni's was like going through a zone warp to Morocco, with the sun sconces and colourful lamp pillars. Awesome service. Food was amazing, followed by drink specials. Make sure you try their Calamari -- possibly the best in town, when accompanied with tzatziki sauce. It is definitely on my list of great places in Edmonton to celebrate special occasions.

It is used by The Raving Poets for their weekly poetry jam, as well as for other arts and cultural events. I came here for the first time as part of a networking event and found Kasbar to have a very bohemian feel to it. The bartenders were very friendly and seemed to be having a great time. It's a great place to grab a casual drink and there are lots of out of the way tables and seating areas for conversation.

I'm a sucker for the vegetarian omelette at any time of day. I add bacon... what?! It's delicious and I'm not vegetarian. I get my broccoli, mushrooms onions and spuds.

The standout was the salmon. Delicous Laksa sauce. Absolutely beautiful. The Nanaimo bar martini was good, but extremely rich. I would say if you are not a huge sweet fan try something else. However, if you love chocolate, this one is for you. For us this was fairly pricey so it would be a once a year treat.

I'll go back - maybe try 80s night and see if the music is better!

The waitress recommended a gin cocktail called the bees knees and it tasted like a sweet glass of mead. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend trying one out for yourself. The dance floor was small but large enough for what this joint can hold. From what I can remember the DJ was quite good and everyone on the dance floor was completely inthralled by his mix.

We both got a steak sandwich which was the special. I wasn't wild about the bacon, whiskey jam that came on it but the steak and mashed potatoes more than made up for it. The steak was a real deal hunk of meat. Many places that I've gone for a steak sandwich give you a thin, flat, grey meat like material. It's never good. This was a hunk of BEEF and boy was it tender!

Getting there was easy because it's on the west side of the mall with a big sign and an outside entrance. I ordered the fish and chips. It's normally $23.00 but on Thursdays that dish is reduced to $18.00 or $19.00. It came with two huge pieces of fish which were delicious. The fish didn't have the greasy taste that happens in some places. Several of us ordered the same meal and we all enjoyed our fish. The problem was that the other orders such as sandwiches came quite a while after the fish. In fact I was finishing up when the last order arrived. The service was good and friendly but they have got to get the meals timed so that they can be served closer to the same time. This spot would get five stars but for the fact that four of the guys didn't get their meals on time

Atmosphere is decent. It would be nice if it had more of a Scottish feal, but good for what it is. However, I ordered the wonton soup and it has to be the WORST wonton soup I have ever eaten. The broth was flavourless and murkey. Not many wontons and the veggies were near non existant. It is the first time I have left my food without taking the leftovers home. I just ate the wontons and that was it. My husband's burger looked good. And the wing special was decent. Please come here, but don't order the soup.

What a hoot! I had a smile on my face from the moment we walked in til we left. There's nothing like being time warped into the 1970s and watching old cartoons and advertisements on the TVs while eating your dinner or having a drink. Everything from the color scheme to the light fixtures to the trinkets collected behind the bar screams 1970s, and made for a fun, goofy, comforting nostalgia. We started with drinks at the bar while we waited for a table. They have a good selection of local brews as well as cocktails. Even the names of the drinks made me smile. I got the "dirty shiddy martini." Then we moved to our table in the "rumpus room." The menu is no-frills and straightforward. Not a ton of options, but you're there for a burger! They have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options to make everyone happy. We each got a burger Alabama style, split some fries with "flat sauce," and added a giant pickle on a stick for shids and giggles. Delicious, it all hit the spot! Staff is friendly and quick. It will be busy when you go so just enjoy the experience!
