A small-ish theatre in the heart of Old Strathcona that works overtime during the Fringe Festival, but runs all year round with a great selection of shows.
I caught Walterdale's production of Charlie Brown here - LOVED IT! The theatre's small layout…More »
Floor-to-ceiling windows set a scenic stage for a Christmas party at the generously-sized banquet hall at Mayfair Golf Club.
The buffet dinner featured fresh salads, salmon and turkey for a seasonal meal. A massive helping couldn't slow me down from…More »
The Movie Studio has all of your typical mainstream movies available for rent, plus a huge selection of indie and foreign films. They even have a few racks of rentals set aside for their "alternative" movie collection (think a ton of independent Bill…More »
I've been lucky to catch a lot of great theatre here. Improv on Friday and Saturday evenings, plus other plays along the way.
Improv here is a must-see. I love taking friends from out of town to the Varscona to catch the great local performers here.…More »
I was a bit intimidated when my good friend said she was holding her going-away party at Shanks, since, as you all well know by now, I'm not exactly up on my sports savvy. And just wait until we go bowling all together at the upcoming CMYE. I do a…More »
Walk in here knowing what you're getting yourself into, and you're going to have a hell of a night.
It doesn't matter if you're a college student out for post-exam libations or part an older pack, just here for the pool tables and slot machines.

Dear Latitude 53,
You are pretty flippin' cool. How is it that I've spent so much time over the years at Metro Billiards next door, yet I passed by your door and you remained unnoticed to me?
Well, we finally met, and aren't you so lovely? A funky…More »
This spot is kind of run down, but on a hot summer night when I lived in Garneau, there was nowhere I would have rather been for a pizza and cold beer on the patio. (Well, that's not entirely true, but it wasn't so bad.)
It's a pub at heart, but the…More »
I couldn't believe how similar this location of The Pint is to the original pub - as a fan of the original Pint on Jasper, I definitely felt right at home when I walked into the Pint on Whyte.
I have mostly good - mm, nay, great things to say about…More »
The movie "The Guard" had been recommended to us so we went to go see it while down in Calgary a couple of weekends ago. It was showing at Eau Claire so we parked nearby and walked over.
Pros: the coffee shop on the main level is open late (perfect…More »
So I made my most recent visit to Halo Lounge a couple of Saturdays ago. The trip to Halo was preceded by a Passion Party and pre-drinking at one of my best friend's apartments (it was her birthday). After losing count of sour appletinis and losing…More »
This might just be my favourite little store on Whyte. Well, it's not exactly on Whyte, it's just a half a block off, but you know what I'm saying. My style ranges from preppy to retro to urban depending on my mood that day. But I know that when I go…More »
This could be my new neighbourhood pub! With friends visiting from Calgary, we wanted a casual spot to catch up, hang out, and satisfy our hunger and thirst. Another friend had recommended JR to us a while back but we still hadn't been, so we thought…More »

I had plans to meet an old university friend off-campus the other day, but what with the weather being what it was (brrrrr!), she wasn't too keen on walking somewhere off campus (she works for the U of A). I concurred and we decided on Dewey's. Food,…More »
I've just begun my second class at the City Arts Centre and I love it.
A couple of years ago I signed up for a painting class. I'm not super artsy or craftsy but I like having a hobby. The acrylic painting class was awesome. We were able to choose our…More »
This place is way cooler than anything you might expect in Edmonton. It's one part art gallery (featuring way cool local artists and all kinds of weird stuff up on the walls) and one part performance venue. The performances could be anything. A…More »
Oh, Steel Wheels. I have many memories of this quirkly little pizza joint. Well, not so much memories as hazy recollections of shenanigans.
Here's what you'll get when you walk (stumble) into Steel Wheels: confusion about where you are (we're not on…More »
Amazing store - even better now that they've expanded! An entire first floor dedicated to a wide selection of dance outfits, plus any kind of costume accessory you can think of. Hats? They've got fedoras, pirate hats, feathers, bowlers, top hats, you…More »
Like every other casino but with even brighter lights in a smaller space. Food is just OK but the staff are actually really friendly. Bonus points for a cute security guard.
I came by Red Star on a Thursday evening with a few friends to grab a couple of pints. If you're looking for a chill evening out on a weeknight in a bar with ten times more atmosphere and a much cooler crowd than The Pint, Hudsons and On The Rocks…More »
Had an awesome night out here! It wasn't totally authentic Mexican food, but it was dang delicious. The only requirement I have of a quesadilla is that it be super cheesy, and these delivered.
Even if you're "meh" on the food (I actually like the…More »
