We got there about 7:30pm and the bouncer was very friendly on the way in (no cover charge!!!). We found our way to a table near the stage and settled in. The server was quick to our table for our order which just as quickly filled. It's cash only there so you can't start a tab but not a big deal, just plan ahead. Very reasonable price for a round of drinks. The server was attentive but not pushy. We watched a number different bands and variations of the different bands until the main act about 10:00pm. Very talented people that play there; they way they can just jump in a play with strangers is amazing. There is no kitchen there so you can bring in your own food which is very cool. There is no pretentiousness to this place, people are just there to have a good time. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

We only stayed for a beer and didn't get to enjoy any music beyond warms ups but will for sure be back to enjoy the full offering when it's not a weeknight. read more We only stayed for a beer and didn't get to enjoy any music beyond warms ups but will for sure be back to enjoy the full offering when it's not a weeknight.

The updated stage and room are far superior to the old days. A great room has now become a spectacular one.

I always enjoy myself at this restaurant, it's the top spot for a lively night of live music in Edmonton! read more I always enjoy myself at this restaurant, it's the top spot for a lively night of live music in Edmonton!
