Our house was warm and enjoyable. Explain the menu to us and the origins of the restaurant and showed us the tiki paraphernalia. I told him as a Hawaiian resident. We don't even see things like this in Hawaii partially because of the cultural appropriation signals that the items on the Wall offered but they were tastefully honoring the tiki and Polynesian culture. The drinks were good. The food was very good. we had meatballs served on top of grilled pineapple poutine with hashbrowns that was innovative and I had a special fruit salad with some brisket on top of it. Wow, tasty I would definitely be back again if I was in Edmonton.

Great selection of cocktails. Okay menu. Interesting Hawaiian style but not a whole lot of variety for people who want vegatables. Cocktail menu is much bigger than the food, and that is what they focus on. We had two cocktails and they were good. We ordered a few menu items. The mac and cheese spring rolls, the pulled brisket sandwich, and the saimen noodles. Service was quick. Food was good. I think our favourite was the mac and cheese spring rolls. It has a lot of cheesy goodness in it. The saimen noodles were also really interesting, the flavours were vibrant. My husband liked his brisket but I can't say that it is as good as other beef briskets around. However pleasant enough Definately check it out.

Going through the basement of Yianni's was like going through a zone warp to Morocco, with the sun sconces and colourful lamp pillars. Awesome service. Food was amazing, followed by drink specials. Make sure you try their Calamari -- possibly the best in town, when accompanied with tzatziki sauce. It is definitely on my list of great places in Edmonton to celebrate special occasions.

I came here for the first time as part of a networking event and found Kasbar to have a very bohemian feel to it. The bartenders were very friendly and seemed to be having a great time. It's a great place to grab a casual drink and there are lots of out of the way tables and seating areas for conversation.

Drinks are what you would pay anywhere else, but I was expecting to have a bit more variety considering the high-end nature of the club. I'll go back - maybe try 80s night and see if the music is better!

I understand the owners of The Bower had a coming of age moment; it seems they decided to open a…read morebar that reflected their newly discovered maturity while holding on to youthful self-deceit. The Bower opened late 2012, but it feels to me Edmonton is still trying it on for size (also trying to locate it since there is no signage--follow the slight scent of pretentiousness). Last night there was an eclectic crowd, with post-hipsters well represented, many wearing ties, bow ties, or dresses (and oddly, slightly more men than woman, likely just a chance occurrence). Average age: 25-33. The atmosphere feels like a French salon minus the enlightenment, intellectualism, culture, and revolutions. Wood and brick walls, decorated with romanticism portrait art. Victorian sofas and chairs. And marble topped tables (from Leva?). The Bower is smack in the middle of being a lounge and club. Seating is limited but comfortable. The music is loud, but not too loud. The DJ was playing danceable music, but not dance music (I really liked it). And yes, there is a dance floor and it was being used: I recall a man in a bow tie leading the charge. Drink prices and cover will keep the clientele older. We paid $7 cover even arriving before 10:30. Drinks although not cheap are quality: what the bartender is willing to make, he makes well. The Bees Knees cocktail is really nice (2oz, $10). The Jalapeno Margarita (2oz, $11) was surprisingly spicy and one of the tastiest cocktails I've ever had. The Old Fashioned (2oz, $10) was just as you would expect (I suggest asking for half sweet though). But my friend's request for a Mint julep could not be accommodated (no mint). If wine is your style, you're in luck with a few decent ones by the glass or bottle. Our server was fantastic. I think she was waiting solo and did an excellent job. Despite being very busy she was very attentive, funny, friendly, and brass tax. She is clearly experienced and deserves every dollar she makes. Overall, The Bower is a unique lounge/club trying to cater to us mature children who want to pretend we have (a) little class.

The wings were OK, good size, nice that they're oven baked. Stick to the wings. Drinks are watery unless you know someone who knows someone. I asked for top shelf bourbon and got served a lousy sour mash. Sent it back just to get a song and dance from the bartender that he forgot to add bitters, that's why it's so sour. Total BS.

He than followed me and the two bouncers outside calling me a liar and every other name in the book. It was so obvious that he knew the liquor was half water because the second I said something he wouldn't even talk to me about it and instead had me and my girl kicked out on the spot. I am the farthest thing from the type to write reviews like this, so for me to post this I would have to feel extremely snaked out. Moral of the story is if you don't want any of this to happen to you don't attend 117 lounge. Overall rating is a very generous 2/10
