This is the "home of the Hungarian Smoked Meat and Sausages" and there is no question of it when your nostrils kiss this delectable deli space. Smoked sausages and cured European slabs of bacon dangle like curtains behind the counter. The deli window…More »

This is the only bottle depot I know of in town where 100% of the deposit is returned to you. Most depots rip you off but since this depot's located on the edge of Edmonton's underbelly, you can't pull one over on the serious bottle collectors who…More »

The name of this place was enough to make me stop and check it out. Inspired by Tom Robbins' popular books, it was a throw-back to the early '90s when I worshiped every page of Even Cowgirls Get The Blues and Skinny Legs and All. This little…More »

4.0 star rating
  10/2/2008 First to Review

With the growing popularity of wines in North America you'd think there'd be a few more wine bars around in a major city like Edmonton. 4th & Vine is a nice break from the bar scene if you want to go out and sample wines and a good selection of…More »

  10/2/2008 First to Review

If you really need to pick up a six-pack or bottle of wine on your way home this 'hood liquor store is a good last option. You can breeze in and  out pretty fast and get what you need; and you'll want to, because there's sometimes quite a sketchy…More »

(780) 413-7575

Category: Dive Bars

1.0 star rating
  10/5/2008 First to Review

This bar sits on such prime real estate, across the street from the stadium where hundreds of thousands of people flock for sporting events. Yet it doesn't do nearly as well as it could, because of the rough neighbourhood it's in. The End Zone, aptly…More »

3.0 star rating
  10/6/2008 First to Review

This is my favourite public pool. It's in my neighbourhood and it's never all that busy, so it's great for lane swims. Unfortunately, right now it's closed for renos, until end of Oct/2008. Apparently work needs to be done that has been neglected for…More »
