The venue is unparalleled in class and decor and the staff are always friendly. Go here to feel like you're not in Edmonton but Vegas or Miami.

    Located in the largest mall in North America (West Edmonton Mall) I had very high expectations for…read morethis place, but sure enough it was everything I expected if not more. This upscale luxury mega-club venue is a definite must-see for anyone visiting Edmonton. I was surprised at how large the venue was, beautiful decor and good sized dance floor with tables connected to it. Make sure you check out the SHVR ice bar. It's a room with a bar sculpted entirely of ice, 1 of 3 in Canada the server told me! I did not purchase bottle service as there was only two of us, but I did keep an eye out for specifics, as I have been to numerous famous nightclub destinations around the world and am used to the way VIPs are handled. I must say, I was very impressed with the bottle service presentations, treatment and attention to detail at this club. Bottle service guests were showered with confetti, greeted with huge "Happy Birthday" signs waved at their table, as well a posse of beautiful girls holding sparklers and signs with the clients name. I even saw a bottle of champagne being brought out in a LED birthday cake. For a bachelorette party the cocktail waitresses brought out a sign that read "Future Mrs." and spelt the bride's last name, super cool! The MC paid great attention to each and every birthday/stagette in the club, and the club was packed. Reminded me of Vegas, nice touch. Music was an open-format mix of Hip-hop, Top 40, and Electro House. Once the headlining DJ started playing we were EXTREMELY impressed and the energy in the club was crazy. We didn't want to leave. He knew exactly what the crowd wanted and kept us all dancing all night long. Amazing DJ, great VIP treatment and very good over all customer service as well. I even lost my coat check ticket and the girls had no problem finding my jacket and it was returned to me. A+++ goes to ENVY Edmonton Nightclub!

The level of respect shown by patrons makes new faces young and old alike into friends and regulars. With three levels, each able to provide a distinct vibe and experience, there is always something unique and interesting to check out. The community that has come together around this Edmonton landmark encourages and develops local talent and showcases local artists and vendors in a fresh exciting way. If you're looking for a great way to end your Friday or Saturday night with only good experiences then look no further than Y Afterhours, Edmonton's oldest and most iconic afterhours club.

I've been here dozens of times and not once have I seen any trouble. Sure it's late and you will see the odd person that is deeply inebriated but it's never an issue. I've been clubbing all over North America for years and the Y has some of the most clean sound I've ever heard. Meaty low and with a high end that is smooth and doesn't pierce. If you like hearing quality tunes while you cut some rugs then I highly recommend the Y.

    We came here for a night out and expected to hear 70s music but it was not quite what we were…read moreexpecting. Still, it was great that we were able to reserve a spot and have a wonderful place to sit. The club is quite nice and the staff are very friendly. Drinks are what you would pay anywhere else, but I was expecting to have a bit more variety considering the high-end nature of the club. I'll go back - maybe try 80s night and see if the music is better!

    I understand the owners of The Bower had a coming of age moment; it seems they decided to open a…read morebar that reflected their newly discovered maturity while holding on to youthful self-deceit. The Bower opened late 2012, but it feels to me Edmonton is still trying it on for size (also trying to locate it since there is no signage--follow the slight scent of pretentiousness). Last night there was an eclectic crowd, with post-hipsters well represented, many wearing ties, bow ties, or dresses (and oddly, slightly more men than woman, likely just a chance occurrence). Average age: 25-33. The atmosphere feels like a French salon minus the enlightenment, intellectualism, culture, and revolutions. Wood and brick walls, decorated with romanticism portrait art. Victorian sofas and chairs. And marble topped tables (from Leva?). The Bower is smack in the middle of being a lounge and club. Seating is limited but comfortable. The music is loud, but not too loud. The DJ was playing danceable music, but not dance music (I really liked it). And yes, there is a dance floor and it was being used: I recall a man in a bow tie leading the charge. Drink prices and cover will keep the clientele older. We paid $7 cover even arriving before 10:30. Drinks although not cheap are quality: what the bartender is willing to make, he makes well. The Bees Knees cocktail is really nice (2oz, $10). The Jalapeno Margarita (2oz, $11) was surprisingly spicy and one of the tastiest cocktails I've ever had. The Old Fashioned (2oz, $10) was just as you would expect (I suggest asking for half sweet though). But my friend's request for a Mint julep could not be accommodated (no mint). If wine is your style, you're in luck with a few decent ones by the glass or bottle. Our server was fantastic. I think she was waiting solo and did an excellent job. Despite being very busy she was very attentive, funny, friendly, and brass tax. She is clearly experienced and deserves every dollar she makes. Overall, The Bower is a unique lounge/club trying to cater to us mature children who want to pretend we have (a) little class.

    I've been to two shows here over the years - one just before Covid and one more recently. I see…read moreother reviews talking about a $5.00 membership, but they must have gotten rid of that because I've never been asked to pay for a membership. The venue is old and full of character for sure, but it is not accessible at all if you have any kind of mobility issues. And it's a shame, because the management does seem to WANT to be inclusive, but they are terribly limited by the physical location. It's true that you walk down a dingy and dank outdoor hallway to get to the entrance, and then walk up a whole bunch of stairs to get to the ID checking station. Then you go in and get to the ticket scanning station. Maybe she was having a bad day, but the attitude from her was really off-putting. When you have a mobile ticket, apparently they can't scan the QR Code if you have your phone in dark-mode. I've never had that issue with any other venue accepting my mobile tickets, but maybe their scanner is different. Anyway, she was really annoyed with me for that. Once inside, there were 3 bars open and the bartenders were all super friendly. We went back to the same bartender each time and she always remembered our orders. As others have said, the washrooms are down a flight of stairs. If you choose to leave while there are still people lined up to get in, you will have to squeeze past them in that same dank alley/hallway thing you came in - There are no other exits (though I'm sure you could use the other doors in the event of an emergency). The slanted dance floor is not everyone's cup of tea, but I think it adds to the quirky character of the old building. I thought the sound quality from the performers were great for both shows I saw and the lighting was excellent as well.

    This venue gets killer bands in. There's not much more to…read morerecommend. There's hardly any place to sit. They don't have much in the way of good beers. Bar gets very crowded with spectators leaning against it. You are not allowed to exit at East doors by stage, so this means a lot of in and out traffic at the ticket gate. People just need to learn some manners. It's $10.00 to park in the nearby lot. Bathrooms are ok.
