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 »
What I ate at Pampa, I really enjoyed, but I fear I went about the experience all wrong.
The flat fee for your meal is $45, plus whatever desserts and alcohol you order on the side. That means, to get your money's worth, you'd better avoid food at all…More »
Am I biased because several of my greatest childhood birthday parties of all time took place here? Maybe a little.
I thought it might be a little bit busier, but it was just us and a couple of others. It was still very fun and a great Yelpy bonding…More »
Rexall is kind of difficult to review. I'm not really a hockey girl, but I do love concerts. I've seen a ton here over the years: Britney, The Hip, and the life-changing Lady Gaga (helloooo, floor seats)! And best of all, Stars On Ice, every year…More »
So I still hold high opinion of OTR as a place for watching the game or enjoying a pint with a friend or several. Spending some time with some of my favourite yelpers tonight, that pint of Grasshopper went down smooth - even better, it was on…More »
On the Rocks is a pretty cool downtown joint for those looking for an unpretentious place to grab a… Read 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.

Ah, the St. Albert Bowling Centre. The site of so many awkward high school dates and birthday parties. Memories, sigh.
When you're the only bowling alley in town, you don't need to be fancy. I'm almost positive that's the mindset of the owners of this…More »
I had always had a positive idea of Julio's in my head, maybe because I was never big on Mexican food growing up, so I didn't blame Julio's for having an unappetizing menu.
But my palettes have expanded, and I like Mexican food, love spicy food, and I…More »
I had an awesome time at Three Amigos last night. I live pretty close by, so how had I not been here before? This place rocks.
Maybe it's because I was totally starving (hello, no groceries in the house post-vacation!) but my food was killer. I had…More »
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 »
Maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic, but I can't give anything less than five stars to Room At The Top.
Before its renovation, it was a typical campus pub with a little somethin' something' extra - an amazing nearly-360-degrees view of the city. Now…More »
Oops, a bit of a belated review on the Edmonton Fringe Festival, but here it is!
The Fringe is my absolute favourite festival of the summer. It really finishes off the summer on a great note and it's the time that I think Old Strathcona really comes…More »
I think Lit is just what Edmonton has been missing. As another 104th Street biz review mentions, these cool spots along this strip make you feel like Edmonton is getting cooler. Lit is no exception.
Grab a seat at one of the cozy booths or along the…More »
I'm a fan of The Hat. It looks tiny when you pass by on the street, but it stretches pretty far back (so if you're looking for your friend's birthday party table, you might need to go searching aaaaaall the way to the back). I'd been here once before…More »
I am Jeffrey's newest and biggest fan. I love cafes. I love wine bars. Jeffrey's is both!
It's quieter during the day, with plenty of tables and a few couches perfect for getting work done or catching up with friends. They offer some light lunch items…More »
Awesome! Awesome awesome awesome. How else can I describe The Carrot? Oh, wait - awesome.
To kick things off, The Carrot has everything I look for in a coffee shop. Lots of tables, piping hot coffee, friendly staff, free wifi, and an eclectic…More »
The Druid stands out for a couple of reasons. One, it's not part of that crazy busy area along Jasper between 107th and 110th (ish). Two, it doesn't seem to know if it's a pub of a club. I guess it depends which day of the week you go and what time…More »
I grew up in St. Albert, and while I go back frequently (usually every week or so), my trips are usually only to my parents' place (my childhood home!) and back home again.
Yesterday, I had an appointment with my eye doctor, the same one I've been…More »
I had plans for a tea date with my bestie when we both realized we were starving. What were we thinking, anyway, getting tea at noon on a Sunday? Clearly what we wanted was pizza. So pizza we had!
Famoso wasn't that busy, surprisingly. Well, busy but…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 »
I've been to the Royal Mayfair Golf Club two years in a row for a Christmas party and I must say, I've been very impressed two years in a row!
Though I'm not much of a golfer (does mini-golf count?), so I can't comment on the course or conditions, the…More »
On Saturday night, Michael J and I bought our tickets for Sherlock Holmes 2. That was at around 6:10 and the movie started at 7. No time to head out of City Centre Mall for dinner but we didn't have to walk far to Elephant and Castle, where a quick…More »
I was very impressed with Cabana! My sister-in-law got married on Friday afternoon and we came to Cabana for the reception dinner. (It was a small wedding - about 20 people total.) The bride and groom had rented Cabana's private room for the…More »
Italian food is my all-time favourite. Like, in a discussion the other day with some yelpers about what our top 5 favourite cuisines are, Italian and Indian were the only two that didn't require serious thought. Immediate reaction = PASTA AND…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'm so bummed out, you guys. I had the highest of hopes for El Rancho. It's a Mexican restaurant (star!) in a neighbourhood I don't get to explore as often as I would like (star!) that's highly reviewed by my fellow yelpers (star!) - what would there…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 »
The first thing you need to know about The Nest, which is awesome, is that it's not just a student bar. No student ID? No problem. This place is open to the public. Very cool, especially because this place isn't just a bar, but a popular concert…More »
This was one of my favourite meals in recent memory. After a long day of visiting family-in-law for a post-wedding meet-the-couple kind of celebration at a community hall, followed by a gift opening (yawn), I was seriously starving. The desserts at…More »
So this one day, when I definitely wasn't Googling myself, I discovered my namesake lounge, Brittany's, existed right here in Edmonton. I was intrigued and inspired. My partner in almost-same-name crime, Brittney L, agreed to meet me for a lunch date…More »
I don't know if I've ever had a normal experience at this Tim's. I've been here twice. Once on Halloween (so you can imagine, of course, that there was quite a cast of characters) and then again the other night. It was around midnight and I was full…More »
Two Lazia reviews, two days in a row! Why not?
Although I'm a bigger fan of the north side location (perhaps because it was the first of the two Lazias I dined at), this place is still a very fine choice for a night dinner date out downtown or drinks…More »
So, understand that Jack G is right on the money when he says that South Edmonton Common is like an outdoor WEM. To me, that's a really funny concept because we're a total winter city half the year. Why would you want to go to a mall that forces you…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 »
I've said it before, of course, I'll say it again. I love our local cafes. But when almost every local biz downtown shuts down by 8 PM, where's a girl and her book club supposed to meet?
Although I think it's ridiculous that there are two other Second…More »
I was so nervous about the opening of a new Remedy. My beloved Remedy. Quirky, tasty Remedy, location of my first date with my husband and many, many cake dates with friends over the years, where you always leave smelling like butter chicken (mmm,…More »

I think I've found a new favourite restaurant, and it's all thanks to the awesome Edmonton yelpers! A talk thread spawned a trip to this place for one yelper, which in turned led to more and more visits, and eventually, a UYE!
I accidentally…More »
Yelpers, I'm telling you that you've got to check out this bar, for a couple of reasons. One, it's new and kind of hidden, so you'll be totally in-the-know about a pub that many people haven't heard of yet. Two, because it's so new and little-known,…More »
