Came with hubs the other night to kill a couple hours while our teen and her date went to the…read moreballet. We were underwhelmed since pre-covid times. There were less games/arcades than previously. Several were not working. Several ate our coins. While we were there for over an hour (and there were maybe 10 other patrons there the entire time) we were not approached for drink or food orders once. After spending about $30 on games, we walked down the block to Blowers and Grafton where we had phenomenal service and food. I can't see us coming back here unless there was an event or a group we were meeting. Sad to see it's gone so downhill.

Finally got to try out the Wooftop Patio last night. Was amazed at how warm and cozy it is, even when it's -14 outside. Had a couple Blondes, which went down smooth. They were having a Jaegermeister demo while we were there, but I am not fond of cough syrup, even when I'm sick, so I eschewed the freebies. Bonus points for hearing "Golden Brown" by The Stranglers and "Reptile" by The Church on the same night. I was in heaven.

It's a different bar every day. The music changes. The…read moreclientele changes. You never know. Upstairs is different from downstairs. A whole different vibe. I love the addition of the "Woof Top" patio. The cover and heaters extend the season. We prefer to be outdoors as long as we can. Cheapest happy hour on Whyte ave. Great beer selections on tap. $3.75 Big Rock pints on Thursdays. Darts in the back. Sometimes they have live entertainment, but mostly it's D.J.s. Not too loud. Door staff are nice. Bathrooms don't suck. It's probably my favorite Whyte Ave bar. I find it friendly.

We went here after a stressful day at the hospital for a break. Everything was good. Service was…read moregood, atmosphere was decent, and food was amazing. The burgers are excellent. Probably the best i had in the city. The Next Act is non descript with the decor. It does have a nice patio if you are able to snag a spot. Our server was prompt and attentive. Food came out quickly despite the full restaurant. This time I tried The Pyro with habanero cream cheese, bacon, crispy onions, jalapeños, and chipotle mayo. Hubby ordered The Critic - smoked cheddar, bacon, caramelized onions, and bbq sauce Our friend ordered The Scout - jack cheese, chimichurri, crispy onions, avocado, and roasted garlic mayo We all chose the fries as a side. It was delicous. And this time the fries were great and not soggy. My burger was delicious. If you like heat, this one is for you. Both other people at the table enjoyed their burger as well. I saw someone have the mac and cheese, and that looked delicous. However I don't think I can skip the burger and order something else.

Food is always good and lots of it. The server's are good and friendly. Place was clean as well as…read morethe washroom.

During out trip to Edmonton last May, it was getting pretty late but we were craving some good…read morevegan food and drinks.....thankfully The Buckingham (@thebuckonwhyte ) on the eclectic Whyte Avenue .. was open for the save! Their food is 100% vegan, what you might expect to find in a diner or bar, decadent and hearty hearty hearty! If you want healthy, they do have three salad options to choose from. We went with the Buffalo Mac'n'Cheese, Poutine, Chkn Wings and ....oh my ... Deep Fried Oreos. We don't really have vegan Poutine options here in Seattle (if you know of any, please do drop a note in the comments section letting me know where) so it's always a treat going to Canada and comparing the various Poutine options as pretty much every vegan place has their own take. If you haven't been to visit yet, you owe it to yourself to try them out. If you find yourself visiting Edmonton, make a point to visit Whyte Avenue and walk up and down the strip checking out all of the store and most definitely, including The Buckingham in your visit.

Door cover was $4. I think it was a really neat reason to hit this place and Whyte Ave. Even though it was a Monday night this place was packed! And parking around was cheap and easy (because it was free after 9pm)! The All-Vegan All-the-time menu was a bit of a surprise but really cool. They also had local brewery Sea Change beer on tap.

There are some pros and cons about this place. More cons than pros. However the pros are pretty…read moregood. They have their own parking lot which on Whyte Ave is a blessing. They also have a huge beautiful patio which my friend and I enjoyed on the sunny day that we attended here. Inside is kinda neat too when I went to use the washroom. Cons Average food. I ordered the Spicy Udon bowl which came with bulgogi beef, noodles, cabbage and a fried egg. The egg was overcooked. The rest of the dish was fine but not overly spicy. I actually had to ask for hot sauce. Definately not worth the 22 bucks I paid. Which brings me to the next con Price. Everything is overpriced here. To pay 27 bucks for a Hawaiian pizza. No thanks Finally Service I don't know if our server was trying to be rude or just was clueless but we had to prompt her to fill our waters, get our cocktails etc. And she didn't ask us how our food is. I won't be here again unless a friend wants to (which brought me here to begin with).

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.

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.

At 9:00pm, the volume goes off so the dance music can begin. Some big event nights are over capacity. It's tough to even use the bathrooms. Too loud to talk. After happy hour comes sad hours, where a bottle of Coors Lite will cost $7.50. During the day, it's old people like me sipping a $5.00 glass wine. Only 2 other couples in the entire place. Check website for theme nights. Trivia Wednesdays. Karaoke Thursdays. Retro Sundays. Fridays are pretty much college bar vibe. You can park down the ave in residential parking.

Legacy Post from 2019…read more The Pint off of Whyte Ave used to be a go-to place for wings on Wednesdays. The wings were really really good (size, flavour, options). But over the past years the size and flavour of the wings have been a bit off...so I'd give them 8.3/10. If coming here, I recommend their Maple (dry) and Cajun.
