Celebrate prohibition's end at Edmonton happy hour spots

We’ve all been there, with the highs and lows the daily grind brings. Finally closing that sale, getting that promotion, long day at the office, tough meeting, a demanding boss (and so on, and so on, and so on). But the good news is, there’s a happy hour waiting for you around every corner of this city. Grab your friends, order a drink and bottom’s up!

Some like it hot: Best hot chocolate spots

On a cold, snowy Edmonton night, nothing says lovin’ like a cup of hot chocolate. It’s no surprise this drink was originally dubbed the “elixir of the gods.” Regardless of the variety you select, or whether you opt for the simplest hot chocolate on the menu, all I can say is ... don’t forget the marshmallows.

A slice of heaven: Perfect pie places

Paired with a nice cup of coffee or topped with a scoop of ice cream, pie is unbeatable comfort food. And yet it faces stiff competition from cupcakes as the city’s dessert of choice. Well, pie is fighting back with old fashioned deliciousness as well as new and tantalizing flavours.
