Steeps Tea House

Every Wednesday after our yoga sessions, a few friends and I go to Steeps tea house for a relaxing cup of hot tea. Steeps is an adorable little nook located at 12411 Stony Plain Road. The minute you walk, you feel as though you’ve gone back in time. It is decorated with vintage furniture, from 70’s style aluminum kitchen tables to garage sale worthy velvet chesterfields. You pick out your tea flavor from a wall of shelves filled with loose-leaf tea canisters. I highly recommend the pumpkin spice black tea. Once you’ve put in your order, grab a vintage tea cup and saucer from the mix matched collection, and grab a comfy seat. Whether you go alone or with friends, you will love the laid-back vibe of this Edmonton treasure.

Tim hortons

Everbody loves Tim hortons! Its a nice place to go and chill with friends . Its got a good atmoshphere, good food, good service for the most part fast service, the best coffee and hot chocolate too!! If your ever just looking for a place to relax and kick back with friends or just looking for a quick snack or coffee Tim Hortons is the perfect place, if you haven't been to tim hortons yet i recommend going!

Iron Horse

Iron Horse located on the corner of Gateway and Whyte Ave. Over all is a fun place to go. It has good atmosphere, big dance floor, comfy booths and good music(top 40's). The bartenders are usually quick and efficent with what we order, but this one time me and a couple friends went to Iron Horse and ordered a couple drinks from this one bartender who was wasted! We were paying seperatly so we first ordered two bottle caps we had to ask her a couple times before she actually understood what we wanted and when she went to pour the drinks she kept spilling the drinks and dumping the drinks on the table. She also gave us the wrong amount of change back. When we went to ask her for more drinks she looked all dazed and wobbled away and we had to wait for another bartender! That was my bad experience at Iron Horse besides that one night Iron Horse is a fun place to be at!

Jolly Good!

I went out with a friend recently to catch the new Sherlock Holmes movie at City Center Mall. Before we caught the movie we also decided to get something to eat and he suggested that in spirit of the movie we were going to see we should go to the Sherlock Holmes pub located downtown on Rice Howard Way. I absolutely adored this little pub.

When I walked in I was greeted with live music and the smell of cooking food and hard wood floors that creaked when I walked. It felt like I was walking into another time period and I loved it. I ordered a large soup and some drinks, and the service was lively and entertaining. The Pub itself was covered in all sorts of Sherlock Holmes memorabilia including the recent movie’s new poster hanging proudly above the stage.

If you’re looking for a lovely little place with high energy to sit and enjoy the company of friends there is no better place you can sniff out with that detective nose of yours!

Boston Pizza

I was Bouston Pizza not to long ago for a friends birthday party. The atmosphere was homey and the service was good! a couple of us had the bandera bread as an appitizer, bandera bread is one of my favorite things to eat at bouston pizza, as well as the cactus cut potatoes of course! Over all bouston Pizza is one of the best places to just go and chill with friends!

Tony Roma's

I recently went to Tony Romas at west edmonton mall. We were waited on right away, the service was good our waitress always made sure our drinks were full and that the food was brought out quickly. We got the beef ribs and i must say they were the best ribs i've had in awhile! There was so much food on the plate, you got ribs aswell as two other side orders. Definatly filled me up. I recommend this place to people who just feel like having a good evening and a good meal!

Party like the Irish today!

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! If you’re looking for a party, you have to check out The Druid. This awesome pub is located on Jasper Avenue at 11606! They will be having Irish dancers and lots of alcohol! After all, you have to party like the Irish today!

The Druid is a comfortable pub with spacey dance floors, I’ve always liked this place and go to it frequently with my friends when we’re feeling frisky for a dance night on the town. I have been here for countless Friday nights and have loved every time I’ve been there. The people are great and the music is better than most places that I’ve visited!

Not only is tonight a special event night but they have many events nearly everyday.

Eh Mambo~ Eh Italiano~

Eh Mambo~ Eh Italiano~

There is one place in Edmonton that never fails to fill my tummy and make me happy about it. Chianti Café is a Italian restaurant famous for the food, homely atmosphere and great artwork on the walls. It’s located on Whyte Avenue and is modeled after the old theater districts.

I came here recently for a birthday party and was pleasantly surprised as always by the service and food. The dishes are one hundred percent Italian and the pasta is to die for. If you’re ever in the mood for something meaty I highly recommend the Gnocchi. That is a potatoes dumpling pasta with your choice of meaty sauces, which I prefer to have mushroom and beef sauce!

While you’re there make sure to check out the wide variety of Italian soda they have too! The Lemonada is bubbly and delicious!

What did Genghis Khan eat?

When I’m hungry and want to have fun there is one place that I can always go to and eat and have a great time with friends or family. The Mongolian Grill! “What did Genghis Khan eat? Whatever he damn well wanted!”

The Mongolian Grill is located in downtown Edmonton close to Jasper Avenue and Grant MacEwan. There are locations at 10104 - 109th street and a alternative on at 3345 Calgary Trail. Easily located for lunch or dinner.

What’s unique about this place for me is the wide variety of choice and creativity that comes with your meal. You pick every single item that you want in your meal and once you have composed your stir fry it is then cooked right before your eyes by cooks on a large open stove! It’s a great show!

I love this place because of that very atmosphere. I always try to book my dinner events here simply cause I want to eat like I own the place, which is just what Genghis Khan did! And at this grill you can surely eat whatever you damn well want!

If theres an event... It is at Edmonton Event center!

Edmonton Event Center is located in West Edmonton Mall. Whenever the event center is hosting an event or venue they do a spectacular job. The Edmonton Event Centre is huge; on the first floor they have the dance floor, the stage, 2 VIP sections with a bar, 2 others bars (one located back of the dance floor with seating and one located on the side.) , they also have 4 bathrooms! On the second floor they have one bar. The third floor is at the back of the centre and has seating and another bar. On the forth floor they have seating that looks over the center. Like I said its huge! The service, in my opinion, is really good! The bartenders get to you pretty fast and for how loud it gets, they get the orders right!
The event that I enjoyed the best was when David Guetta came. The place was packed; bumping sholder to sholder. The music was terrific; if you enjoy listening to house and electro. The service, yet again, was good!
I was going to buy tickets to go see Pitbull, a reggaeton artist, but it was cancled. I was sooo dissapointed. Other then that, if someone you enjoy is going to be at the Edmonton Event Center, GO!
