Friends and I stopped in for an afternoon cocktail. The space is beautifully decorated and the…read morefurniture is classy and comfortable. We were seated near the window, which provided a beautiful view of the river valley. The servers are very quick, professional, and friendly. I ordered a spiced orchard mule and truffle gouda fries. My drink was made with high quality ingredients and was flavourful. My fries were perfectly cooked- crisp and golden, and the gouda and truffle oil provided a rich flavour. I highly recommend this lounge for a relaxed, upscale experience.

It is lovely inside with fireplaces, comfortable couches and seating. Reminds me of an elegant cigar room. I would like to come here during the summer, because the patio has one of the best views of the river valley. Service was great. Our server came repeatily to make sure that we were comforable and happy with what we had ordered. A breakdown of what we had HEIRLOOM PUMPKIN SOUP - coconut cream, toasted pepitas, plantain chips ORGANIC SALMON - Pan seared salmon, Thai Laksa sauce, tiger prawns, tender bok choy, rice noodles, crushed nuts and NANAIMO BAR MARTINI Custard cream, coconut crumb, chocolate ganache inspired by the traditional Canadian dessert from Vancouver Island Food was delicous. 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.

Oh, Kasbar, you had me at Moussaka. There were 4 of us, so we split the meal for four ($110 for 4,…read morewhich is A LOT of food). I just had my birthday celebration with friends last night. 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.

The Kasbar is located in the basement of Yianni's, a Greek restaurant on Whyte Avenue. It is a very…read moreunique looking space with lighting accents, sofas, tables, and a bar. 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.

The fish and chips were amazing, including 2 large fillets with a light crispy coating. The fries were also above par. The only thing I didn't like was not being able to eat it all and I was staying in a hotel, so I couldn't take it with me.

I'm surprised I'd never been to the Cask & Barrel before this week. It is a great place to grab an…read moreafter work drink and a bite to eat. Service is friendly and fast and the space is lively without being overwhelming. Their food menu isn't the best if you have dietary limitations but there are still a couple vegetarian and gluten-friendly options. I had their caprese salad which was served deconstructed with microgreens and 2 different types of tomatoes. You can never go wrong with bocconcini cheese! As for drinks, they have some great happy hour specials and the house red wine was surprisingly drinkable. They also have an extensive cocktail list with their twists on the classics and a formidable whisky collection.

Embarrassed that it took me so long to get back into this place! Allan G and I came once a few…read moreyears ago to meet a friend for drinks, but I hadn't done much hanging out since. Went last Saturday to catch a friend's band play, and I'm so happy I did! It was a gorgeous day-- perfect for a patio sit, and lots of folks were all there for the same purpose, so it was super relaxed and chill. Our server, Mandy, was unrufflable and funny. The perfect server. The manager, David, is really great. Friendly and super welcoming, considering I'd only been once before. I noticed that he was attempting to change out the sandwich board for the band, so asked if I could help (ex art major, with a lot of typography experience). He was happy to let me. So that was fun. :) I had a couple beers and the Italian sausage flatbread pizza. OMG! SO good! And the prices were perfectly respectable. Definitely planning to make this place a regular stop on my relaxing/drinking/socializing rounds now.

Drinks are good but can very very strong. Boyfriend got the Zombie and felt sooooo buzzed borderline drunk. Loved the skull ratings which really helped. Honi honi- 7/10 - tastes too much like alcohol/ too strong for me. Captain's Cut 8/10 - good very light flavor Missionary's downfall 8/10- too much mint for me.

Our server was friendly and fun. And she totally matched the atmosphere. Food menu is limited. I would like to see a few more selections particulary since they get their meat from Smoke next door. I went with the Zombie which was a flippin 4 oz. It was delicious. And well worth the price. To eat we tried the burnt ends, the fries, and the mac and cheese. Food came out slower than typical but it was a good use of our time to enjoy the space and our drinks. Food was good. For sure the burnt ends were the star of the show. But the mac and cheese was good and creamy and the fries were well flavoured and plentiful. Sliders were well constructed. come here for amazing drinks and snacks! And the food is an added bonus.

I like the Saturday jam from 6pm to 9 ish before the evening band starts. Good lighting in the day with average decor. Cozy feel. Interesting characters. Replaces the old double D lounge. Nice Rig sign out front. They have their own parking lot. Happy hour from 3 to 8. The manager gal (Sly) is a hard working gal to deliver live music and great food to make this place welcoming. great 2 burger sliders deal with lettuce tomatoes onions a beer and home cut fries with skins on! For $7 before 8pm. And wings are huge. I like the lemon wings best! Classic rock. Good food, music and cheap beer makes this place a winner for this genre of bar. No ties allowed. 4 stars!

The ambience is a nice mix you can sit up front where it feels like a Moxies, or you can sit in the back where it's more of a business meeting place with larger chairs and tables. It could be more upscale, however it does have a higher end feeling by the bar. The staff is friendly and welcoming, however watch out for the one waitress that expects large tips and will combine your dine in and takeout bills and then expect a tip for it all. Otherwise, will definitely be back!

From first walking…read moreinto the restaurant we we're met with confusion on where to go as they have the entrance to the restaurant blocked and after standing there for a few minutes the server called us in from where she was standing further in the restaurant and she laughed saying nobody knows where to go . The restaurant was completely empty ay 8:00pm except for my party of two and another party of six . The food was flavourful over priced and was very slow . The service was absolutely horrible and after asking our service repeatedly for our bill and told her I didn't want my receipt as we walked out she came at me very aggressively and throw my receipt at me I assume she was not happy with the tip . Completely disappointed and I don't recommend the Lux . If you're looking for a truly exceptional steak house try Barbacoa in Spruce Grove the best I've ever eaten.
