About the restaurant

We accept limited reservations during Ice District event days (games and concerts). If you are not able to secure a reservation on Open Table, we do have plenty of availability for walk-ins; we would encourage you to arrive a minimum of 2 hours prior to the event start time in order to avoid lengthy wait times.

We believe in providing a mix of essential food classics and contemporary staples to create the perfect Canadian menu to be enjoyed alongside our beer. We have taken on the responsibility of localizing the beer experience by making authentic, fresh craft products that establish a new, truly Canadian beer culture.

About the restaurant

Original Joe's Edmonton - Terwillegar is a place that welcomes all adults. We have craveable classics, down-to-earth vibes, and a friendly team looking to brighten your day! Our OJ's is located in one of Edmonton's most popular neighbourhoods since 2005. We have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of the development and growth of this community. You can take in a few rounds of golf at one of the nearby courses before stopping in for an OJ's meal, or visit the Edmonton Public Library. We have a dog-friendly patio in the summer so you can bring your fur babies along for a pint on a hot summer day. Being close to South Edmonton and the Currents of Windermere means there are plenty of retail options and entertainment. With quick access to Anthony Henday Drive, Whitemud Drive and the River Valley, we are in the heart of the community. Come in, grab a seat wherever you'd like and we'll take care of the rest!

About the restaurant

Blowers & Grafton (B&G) dishes up authentic Halifax street food, delivering real, honest ingredients with laid-back, East Coast hospitality.
B&G sources as much of its menu from out East as possible to bring you tasteful tributes, genuine flavours and all the classics! From The OG Halifax Donair and Garlic Fingers, to the Mini Lobster Rolls and Chips, it’s all washed down with your choice of craft beer or cocktails.

B&G was founded by a group of passionate Canadians with a bold vision: to salute the spirited roots of Halifax with fellow Maritimers and share this beloved experience of food, drink, music and culture with the rest of Canada.
