If you're craving a good smash burger and a time-travelling trip back to the 1970s, this is the…read moreplace for you! I was visiting Edmonton on a work trip and was brought here by a coworker. 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!

This is the fourth time I came to shiddys to be wildly disappointed. Yes they are busy, but run…read morelike a cafeteria and my party was asked to "leave" after a period of time to make room for other groups. I have been in the restaurant/pub industry for most my life. This is a pub not a high scale restaurant. Clearly about making money and will not get my business or recommendation again.

I have went here two times and each time has been phenomenal. They have the best service I have…read moreever experienced at any craft distillery or brewery anywhere. I picked this place for my birthday two years ago because their story stuck out to me on the website and I never regretted that decision. I like that if you don't like a drink, that they will replace it and not charge you for that drink so that you will go outside of your comfort zone. Also like that there is no children allowed. Each time I go, we bring back a few bottles. Also don't be afraid to try the cocktails too!

We absolutely love Hansen's. Our first experience at Hansen's was a tour of the distillery. We…read morehad such a great time! The bar in the front is great for date night, drinks with coworkers, girls night! Bartender Rylan is really knowledgeable and makes really cool drinks. We were fortunate enough to win their Mother's Day contest last year and spend time learning how to make drinks and what makes sets apart the good drinks from the amazing ones. Recommendations: Morning Glory, Purple Cow and the Barn Owl Vodka.

I was super interested in the garlic vodka for Caesar's and it does not disappoint! They use red…read moreRussian garlic and it's all cut by hand! For the berry ones they do them seasonally- they use Evans Cherries in their cherry vodka. Any fruit comes from the local area. And they do lots of local sourcing for their ingredients and collaborations. Double double is their version of Baileys- but better than Baileys! The last time we went they even had a carrot cake chai version and it was so delightful! Sugar beet brum (rum), traditionally made with sugar cane, they use a more local ingredient: Sugar Beets from Southern Alberta. A-freaking-mazing! Such a clear crisp taste, perfect on the rocks. Their wheat comes from across the road at a local farmers: Schneider's Farms. And a family fungi farm grows oyster mushrooms on their spent grain- very cool! They have been open since Oct 2017 officially. In over 700 liquor stores in Alberta. Over 30 products, from vodka, gin, and a line of whiskey. I loved the named areas or equipment - that was adorable and made it really unique! Jelly Bean brewery spot, to the mid still Schatzi. I will definitely be back for some Christmas gift shopping and to bring some friends to their tasting room and gift shop. Nisku isn't that far away! Their space is stunning! I love the outdoor entering area, even a Teepee used for ceremonies. They have a beautiful upstairs area you can rent. And fantastic open taproom dining and of course a great tour area. Our distillery tour was top notch! Amazing story teller, full of knowledge and experiences. It made it so much more than just a tour of the distillery and the processes. Would highly recommend a tour!

I attended a tour and tasting and was properly impressed. Thanks to Chelsea who was an exceptional hostess. I'm not a big vodka fan, but Holy Moly! This stuff is delicious. Just sipping it straight is delightful. The gin was also as intriguing. So complex. So very smooth. Finally, the smokey, aged gin. Gorgeous colour and aromas. I'm dreaming of the cocktails I can build with this bottle. It's more expensive than the vodka and gin, but this is a lovingly crafted product that really speaks for itself. You just have to taste it. Gosh, did I taste lavender? Who knows. It's a big dream for this outfit. I wish them every success. I know they'll have a huge fan base very soon.

All the spirits are smooth with botanicals that are foraged right here in YEG. You can pop on to get a tour of the small space. Self proclaimed point and spin tour with a lot of humour in here too. You can purchase in the distillery and at most local liquor stores. I really like the merch they sell too. I have an eye on a hoody from there. Worth checking out of you have an interest in alcohol or a love of local.

They also make vidka and some other products, so i will have to come back fot other cocktails. The two people behind the bar were excellent. Both speedy and friendly.
