Churchill Square sits in front of City Hall in downtown Edmonton. Many view it as a simple piece of land. What once was a grassy field in the heart of the city, is now paved over and complete with a cafe and a ticket/information/tourist centre, Tix…More »

Prepare yourself for a meatcoma.

Although going to speak to Oscar Lopez and João Dachery, the owners of Pampa Brazilian Steakhouse, prior to the opening, I had yet to make it down to the finished restaurant. But when I walked in, it was a completely…More »

 4. Ceili's Irish Pub - CLOSED

Edmonton, AB T5J 4X9
(780) 426-5555

  4/18/2011

Ceilis, to me, is a Cheers-esque bar. You come in, get to know the owner, managers, and servers, and soon, everyone knows your name. You can walk in on a busy Friday night and they'll still greet you with a friendly wave and hello! But if the…More »

11730 Jasper Ave NW
Edmonton, AB T5K 0N3
(780) 482-4767
3.0 star rating
  11/21/2010

After sitting at a table for five minutes on the right hand side, we gave in and moved to the left hand side. We sat at a sticky table, the scent of spilled swillish beer filling our noses. My friend had a gift certificate, so we stayed, instead of…More »

How good is Elm Cafe? The Second Cup around the corner has since shut down.

What can I say? People love local, fresh food, amazing coffee, and wonderful, friendly service. What's for breakfast/lunch? Check out @elmcafe's latest tweet. Then head on…More »

For a special treat, my work took a few of us out to Ruth's Chris for dinner. For many of my colleagues, it was their first time at the establishment. I had been once previously, shortly after it first opened. My memory didn't fail me, we were in for…More »

Edmonton, AB T5J 4Z5
(780) 425-8408
2.0 star rating
  10/25/2010

It's Denny's, so the food is standard. The service is usually sub-par, but if you're looking to spend a few hours eating, drinking coffee, and working on something... it's a good location.

There's free wifi, but watch out for the parking guys!

Edmonton, AB T5K 0N7
(780) 482-0707

Category: Lounges

1.0 star rating
  10/24/2010

Suede Lounge is a wanna-be classy venue in Edmonton's downtown. The service has never been spectacular when I've gone there, and their drinks are good, but overpriced. The seating is awkward, with some of the seats having no backs and just being…More »

5.0 star rating
  4/29/2011 ROTD 10/7/2011

Want a great night spot without the clingy just-turned-18 crowd? Nothing against them, but occasionally you're going to want a nice place to mingle, talk, and still enjoy amazing music. The DJ really didn't let us down, and he kept a great mix of…More »
