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.

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 immediately noticed the gothic Victorian decor and was awed by what the young folk now have to choose from when going out for a night of hoopla. 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 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.

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.

The beef dip took a half hour to show up, had almost no beef in it, and was served with a side of potato chips, right out of the bag. Hope you like sour cream and onion! The wings were OK, good size, nice that they're oven baked. Stick to the wings. Drinks are watery unless you know someone who knows someone. I asked for top shelf bourbon and got served a lousy sour mash. Sent it back just to get a song and dance from the bartender that he forgot to add bitters, that's why it's so sour. Total BS. The duelling pianos are missing keys. The only thing to recommend this place is a good big screen projection to watch the game. The Bourbon Room is on it's way out, not worth stopping by to witness it.

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.

He than followed me and the two bouncers outside calling me a liar and every other name in the book. It was so obvious that he knew the liquor was half water because the second I said something he wouldn't even talk to me about it and instead had me and my girl kicked out on the spot. I am the farthest thing from the type to write reviews like this, so for me to post this I would have to feel extremely snaked out. Moral of the story is if you don't want any of this to happen to you don't attend 117 lounge. Overall rating is a very generous 2/10
