    Front of the cabin
    Paul S.

    I work for the City of Edmonton and I have attended a few events here over the last 4-5 years. It is probably one of the more unique places to hold an event in Edmonton. A log cabin located in the river valley of Edmonton! The Old Timers Cabin is run and operated by the Northern Alberta Pioneers and Descendants Association, a charitable group that is dedicated to preserving the history of the northern Alberta pioneers and descendants that helped to establish our province and city. As part of my job with the City I get to work with this group and know how dedicated they are to maintaining and running the cabin which they are so proud of. The cabin itself is beautiful and well taken care of. Upstairs is where most events are held as it is the most picturesque and biggest space including a stage and huge fireplace. There is a bar area for you to use as well if you need that for your event. There is also room downstairs as well, but I haven't really seen much of it in use except for meetings. From what I understand if you want to book out this facility you need to book at least a year in advance, especially for the prime weekend dates. Many many weddings are held here. I'm sure if you pass by on any weekend someone is getting married. This past fall they held a big garage sale in their parking lot which I was looking forward to but I didn't make it as I was out of town that weekend. I hope they have it again next year as I bet there should be some cool antique and retro items! I think they also had an antique car show one weekend as well. The events I have attended here have been staff BBQ's and I am sure we probably had at least 100-150 people and there. There has always been ample room for all of us. Hanging out on the back deck is always great too as it has a great view of downtown and the river valley. There is also a huge parking lot so if you are holding a big event you won't have your guests parking hallway down the block and hoofing it to get to your venue, or paying for a parkade. You can check out more info and pictures of the cabin on their website: http://www.oldtimerscabin.net/ This is definitely a great facility to hold events at. A really unique and interesting place for sure, and the view couldn't be better!

    Vacancy Hall - Cool boutique pedals

    Vacancy Hall

    (2 reviews)

    I'm already a fan of Vacancy Hall even though the day I went only had two businesses open…read more Leprechaun FX was open and their store is right at the back of the hall and specializes in boutique guitar pedals. I had in fact heard of them just because my husband is a massive music nerd and loves all the gear that comes along with guitars. Next to them is Saraswati Designs with a beautifully laid out space displaying so much jewellery! Such variety, I was in there for ages! And, they have a sale table with some great deals! The hall itself is found underneath the Mercer building. Enter the Rostizado entrance but head downstairs to a cool quirky communal studio space. They make a point of hosting upcoming designers and local entrepreneurs. I want to go back and enjoy all the stalls they have set up in there, especially the one who makes those 'Still In Edmonton'Shirts. This place is definitely worth checking out if you find yourself downtown, or looking for an unusual gift, or just wanna know about some cool happenings in our great city!

    Vacancy hall is in the basement of the Mercer building. When you go down the stairs there is a…read morerestaurant on your left (used to be a coffee shop) and a retail store on your right (door is usually closed which prevents customers from entering IMO). Once you go past these two businesses there is a small foyer where the bathrooms can be accessed then double doors going into Vacancy Hall. Within the Hall there are walls and garage door style doors for 6-7 separate businesses. They're all on the side which creates a central space for events. Since it's a basement the ceilings feel a little low but it's actually quite practical. Exposed tubes, pipes, and ducts give it some ambiance as does the painted mural on the far back wall. The communal event space can be used to throw parties, concerts, charity events, etc. Most of your equipment will need to be brought in though. They have a few tables, lighting, and garbage cans you can use which is thoughtful. Any audio equipment, seating, and decorations would need to be brought it. The legal capacity is 195 people but the 2 bathrooms available are single use locking doors which wouldn't work for a group that size. I don't know each of the stores that have rented spaces in the Hall but each location probably deserves it's own Yelp profile so I guess that's a job for another day!
