1. Bulk Barn
I really like Bulk Barn. I mean, really, really, *really* like Bulk Barn!
After discovering this Canadian gem through the Yelp talk boards, I stopped over to check it out for myself. I intended to run in for a minute, only to say I'd been there, and I…More »
2. Mandarin Restaurant
I am a huge fan of Mandarin Restaurant! A quiet, family-owned place (adorable toddlers and all) that has a menu bursting at the seams with flavourful Chinese fare.
Two friends and I picked the "Dinner for Three" option - three full entrees of our…More »
3. Motherly Bakery & Eating Centre
This little family-run bakery and deli is one of my favourite quick lunch spots. Or, for breakfast, I've picked up many a chocolate-chip muffin here, too. (Essentially a cupcake without the icing. No, really. My homemade cupcakes aren't near as sweet…More »
4. Husky-Old Strathcona Carwash
Want to go through one of those automated carwashes? Sure, they're super fun and you can pretend that you're in some lost underwater city, but it also costs $11 and the ride is way too short. And with the dirt this city's been accumulating over the…More »
5. On the Rocks
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 »
6. Pub 1905
Pub 1905 is what it is. An ultra-casual (and I'm not using that term loosely, like more dive bar than anything) place for drinks after work downtown with your buddies, maybe play a round or two on the pool table.
The food was better than I expected…More »
7. Cram Dunk
I have so many fond memories of Cram Dunk. Actually, the circumstances of said memories are usually not so fond. Staying overnight in SUB to write a paper or study for finals...that was when I needed Cram Dunk the most.
The donuts and pastries are…More »
8. Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
I seriously love Chicago Deep Dish, and maybe it's because I only ever eat it when I'm craving some seriously greasy pizza, but if that's what you're looking for, it's good stuff.
You know what you're getting at this dive-y little spot just off Whyte.…More »
9. High Level Bridge Streetcar
The High Level Bridge Streetcar isn't necessarily a hidden gem among the city - I think a lot of people know about it, but not a lot of people have taken it.
I can only say good - nay, great things about the HLBS. The trains themselves are super cool…More »
10. Badass Jack's Subs & Wraps Company
I've only ever tried the Chicken Caesar Wrap at BAJ because it's the one thing on the menu that consistently appeals to me. Visiting this location last night was my first time in a BAJ in a couple of years, and I seem to remember there being way more…More »
11. The Real Canadian Liquor Store
You need liquor? Oh, they've got liquor.
It's not a specialty liquor store. Let's get that clear right off the bat. You're not going to find 100+ kinds of beer or very very rare wines here. You probably won't even find staff that are experts. Sure,…More »
12. Room at the Top
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 »
13. Kool Nails
My cousin was in town this week and she was dying for a pedicure while she was visiting. We had a hair appointment booked at a salon on Whyte for later in the afternoon, so we went to the nearby Kool Nails. What a terrible name for a nail salon, I…More »
14. Dairy Queen Restaurant
After about 5 hours on the road from Calgary (which included a pit stop to our puppy breeder friends, which, let's be honest, was a pretty big part of the trip), we needed food really, really badly. And gas. Next stop: Olds! We figured there had to…More »
15. Value Village
With an ugly sweater party coming up, where was a girl to turn to find a buffet of ugly sweaters for her favourite yelpers? Well, Value Village of course.
This place is pretty huge. It's sort of what you expect from the outside - flourescent lighting,…More »
16. Capilano Mall
After the pleasant surprise that was Kingsway Garden Mall last week, I actually had high hopes when I went out of my way to visit Capilano. I had never been before Friday so I had no idea what I was in form.
While WEM is famous, Kingsway is a secret…More »
17. Spring Roll Kitchen
I knew I would be heading down to Century Park today but I was starving when I arrived. I thought to myself, why don't I try out that Spring Roll Kitchen place I always see but never pop into?
I thought it might be all gourmet spring rolls or…More »
18. JR Bar And Grill
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 »
19. El Rancho Spanish Restaurant
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 »
20. Kal Tire
Not too shabby. I lucked out this year with the warm weather. I had first come into Kal Tire back when that first snow storm hit, but it was going to take weeks before they could put my winter tires on. I guess all of Edmonton had thought the same…More »
21. Dewey's
Edmonton, AB T6G 2N2
(780) 492-1762
Categories:
Pool Halls,
Coffee & Tea,
Dive Bars
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 »
22. City Arts Centre
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 »
23. The Nest
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 »
24. Sweet Surprise
It's nothing fancy, just an unassuming lil ol' candy shop. Grab a bag and start filling 'er up. There's one row of slightly fancier candy, mostly chocolate, but the other 4 or 5 rows are all the same price - I believe it was around $2 per 100 g.
I…More »
25. Pho Huong Viet Noodle House
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 »
26. Tim Hortons
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 »
27. South Edmonton Common
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 »
28. The Old Strathcona Rack
After plans for Girls Night Out Bulldogs at Julio's went south (a 45 min wait for two of us!), we made the decision to check out The Rack.
It was about 9 PM on a Saturday night when we arrived so it wasn't very busy (yet). We saddled up at the bar…More »
29. Cactus Club Restaurant & Bar
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 »
30. Sweet Mango
Hey there, new favourite "Asian fusion" restaurant (whatever that means). Located quite a ways down 82 Ave, I had driven past dozens of times but never gone out of my way to check it out. My cousin and her BF were in town from Calgary for the weekend…More »
31. Claire's Accessories
I know what I'm getting into when I walk into Claire's, but it's all about having an open mind here. Half of the store is intended to appeal to tweens. Bright pink and black, Hello Kitty, and plenty of glitter. Just steer yourself past those…More »
